IT is crunch time for Caldy tomorrow when they entertain Loughborough Colleges in National Two North League.
The students head the table and Caldy lie third so it promises to be a ding-dong affair.
Caldy took the first meeting at the start of the season and a double would be very timely. But they have been on the sidelines now since before Christmas while Loughborough were able to play at the weekend when they beat Harrogate 25-13.
At the wrong end of the table Waterloo badly need a result at Hull Ionians, who are not far above them.
All clubs are desperate to get some action. National Three North fixtures include Birkenhead Park at Darlington Mowden Park, Chester at Cleckheaton and West Park at Rochdale.
Influential forward David Blythe could be back for Park after a lengthy injury absence. Centre Stephen Dodd is also nearing fitness again.
Rhodri Owen, John Gill and Geoff Kendall are handed the front-row duties for Chester.
LSH look to maintain their move up the North One West table at the expense of visiting Vale of Lune. New Brighton entertain Sandbach and Leigh welcome Altrincham.
New Brighton also host the Cheshire v Yorkshire County Championship Under-20 match on Sunday.
Sefton welcome back Andy Quigley, Gareth Williams and Colin Pascoe for their South Lancashire/Cheshire Two clash with Marple.
