Trafford MV face Tarleton in relegation fight

By Wilf Dooley

Trafford MV will need to have their battle heads on this weekend as they head into deepest Lancashire to take on 3rd placed Tarleton in a crucial relegation game kicking off at 2.15pm.

MV will be waiting until Friday afternoon before head coach Brian Collier names his team for the game. He is expecting a stronger selection than last week as players have returned to the roster, positional changes are also likely to be on the cards.

Trafford are in a tussle with Heaton Moor, Liverpool St Helens and Aspull to avoid the second relegation spot alongside Glossop who are already doomed.

The four teams have just a single point between them and win’s will be vital for each team over the coming weeks. With only 6 games remaining time is getting short with everything to play for. An exciting run in to the end to the season is on the cards.
