Birkenhead Park travel to Port-e-Chee
Douglas host Birkenhead Park at Port-e-Chee in a clash near the top of the table in North One West.
Douglas are up to second place and face Park, who were a league higher last season and were victims of the dreaded summer reshuffle.
Park have lost two from seven while Douglas have lost one from six.
The home side also boast the meanest defence in the league, conceding on average just under fourteen points per game.
Park by contrast have the second-best attack.
Douglas will be looking to their quick men Sam Mete and Adam Boyd for more tries as they keep their challenge up at the top of the table, and with back-to-back away games coming, they’ll need every point they can get.
