Time to stoke up the tension!

Time to stoke up the tension!

Graham Leftwich12 Feb - 17:20

Two massive derby games against neighbours Stoke on Saturday

Leek welcome neighbours Stoke to Altrad Park for a local derby on Saturday with plenty on the line. It's tenth versus 11th in a relegation dogfight, with the home side sitting just three points clear of visitors with five games remaining.

So a win for either side looks critical to their season's fortunes. Only three points separated the sides when they met back in November, and we expect another tight encounter in this 2.15 kick off.

Heading in the reverse direction to Hartwell Lane, our 2nd XV will be looking to extend a nine game unbeaten run to remain in promotion contention at the top of the Counties 3 table. But Leek know they can't count on any favours from the bottom-placed team. Kick off is also at 2.15.

Our 3rd XV also return to action, welcoming Stafford's 2nd XV to Altrad Park for a 1:45pm kick off.

The 1st XV game is kindly sponsored by Taylormade and we look forward to welcoming the Newton-Taylors and their team on the day. Thanks also go to match ball sponsors Adept Vehicle Management and our gameday nutrition sponsors Fit Bodies Gym & Fitness.

The clubhouse will be open from 12:45pm with the newly refurbished kitchen serving hot food, fresh beers from the bar, live sports on the big screens, and, as always, a warm, friendly, rugby club atmosphere to enjoy.

Please come along and support the teams home and away in what promises to be a cracking day of local rugby - come on you blue boys!

We are expecting a large turnout so please plan to share lifts, get taxis or public transport where possible, and if driving, please respect our neighbours and park responsibly.
See you all there!
