Match Preview: Roughyeds Women vs Bronte Barbarians

Roughyeds Women have their first taste of Northern League 3 action this Sunday when they take on Bronte Barbarians at Netpar Training Centre (2pm KO).

Ben Marsden's side have already registered victory in the league having been awarded a 48-0 walkover victory in the first round, with Keighley unable to field a team.

The side were set to play away to York Acorn but the game was postponed, with the fixture now scheduled for May 31.
