Beverley ARLC will be looking to bounce back this weekend as they welcome Barrow Island to Beverley Leisure Centre.
Beverley, last season NCL Division 3 champions were narrowly beaten by Hull Dockers on the opening day of the season.
Saturday gives Scott Taylor and his side a real opportunity to get their first points of the season following their promotion to division 2.
Barrow Island will arrive in Beverley in good spirits. Unlike Beverley, they got their season off to winning start beating East Leeds 36-3.
That result sets up Saturday’s game nicely for what should be an interesting clash between the leagues two new boys.
