Up Next - Skirlaugh Out to Turn Performance into Points at Kippax
Skirlaugh hit the road once again this weekend as they travel to face Kippax Welfare, looking to bounce back after another frustrating defeat last time out.
The Carrots were left heartbroken in their previous fixture after seeing victory snatched away in the closing stages, with a hard-fought performance ultimately going unrewarded. Despite the result, there were plenty of positives to take from the display, with Skirlaugh showing character, resilience and a willingness to compete until the final whistle.
That spirit will be needed again this weekend as they make the trip to Kippax, another tough away assignment in the division. The hosts have shown throughout the season that they possess plenty of attacking threat and will provide a stern test for a Skirlaugh side eager to get back to winning ways.
While recent results haven't always reflected the performances, Skirlaugh will take confidence from knowing they have been competitive in every contest. The challenge now is to turn those encouraging displays into points, with concentration and game management likely to be key against a dangerous Kippax outfit.
The visitors will be looking for a fast start and will hope their pack can lay the platform through the middle, allowing the backs to play with confidence and put pressure on the home defence. If Skirlaugh can maintain their intensity for the full 80 minutes, they'll believe they have every chance of returning to East Hull with a valuable result.
With both sides desperate to strengthen their position as the season progresses, supporters can expect a physical and fiercely contested encounter.
