NEW Earswick All Blacks ARLC will hope to round off their Pennine League premier division season in style by beating Keighley Town at White Rose Avenue.
It has been a tough few weeks for player-coach Chris Judge and his men. They were crushed 58-0 at home to Drighlington a week ago and also fell to leaders Sharlston Rovers before that.
But there is a chance to pick up a morale-boosting victory to end the campaign against a Town side which has won just two of its 15 league games this season.
Judge says the club can still finish fourth in the table so he will be looking for a decent performance. But his side will have to do it without him, through injury and the absence of key players Liam Gargan and Ben Jones.
"It is a season where we could have won something," Judge said. "We have had a lot of injuries but the good thing for us is that a lot more of the young players have come through.
"We are looking for a decent performance and we will be a lot stronger for it next year."
