Alnwick hoping to beat freeze for third v. second clash


Alnwick RFC’s long trip to Kendal in Regional One North East was cancelled.
The fixture fell foul of the icy conditions and with the pitch frozen solid in wintery Cumbria the decision was made to call the match off.
A pitch inspection by a RFU official on Friday afternoon saved Alnwick from setting off down into the Lake District.
The blue and gold’s have a huge game at home to second-placed Harrogate on Saturday.
There is just a point between the two sides going into the fixture with Alnwick on 51 and the visitors on 52 after 13 games.
