Last time out , similar to the rovers game was a tough battle, for the first times this season we haven't taken the game to the opposition from the outset and have found ourselves trailing at the half, yes in both games the conditions have played their part but that is something we need to learn to contend with this week as no doubt, if the game goes ahead the weather will be no better.
Barnard Castle is somewhat of an unknown quantity, dont be fooled by their league position, they will be no walkover which is shown by their win over West last week, something we know is no easy feat.

With all the club injuries we had to call our own friendly off last week but that didn't mean no 3TM rugby, no less than 12 3rd team regulars made the Journey to Morpeth to bolster the lions and by all accounts not 1 looked out of their depth, a testament to how this squad has played - fingers crossed they will be all available for us this week but if the call to the lions comes then whoever fills the gap as starter or finisher has the ability to do the job and keep 3TM top of the league as we reach the business end of the season

Forget storm Dennis - focus on the storm that is 3,3,3TM #OSIOS
