“It was a pleasure to see the guys step up and once again demonstrate their ability to play at the senior level, I am hopeful we can take this form into the game against Doncaster”, added Coach Gayle.

Doncaster, who knocked Myerscough out of the National Shield last month, are a team who have found great success in D3 having suffered only their first defeat last weekend at the hand of Newcastle Knights.

Both teams will be looking to prove a point as they meet on Saturday in what is sure to be a tough away day for Myerscough.

Elsewhere Coach Bernard will look to extend Myerscough’s run the U18’s National Cup with a trip to Newcastle Eagles. A win on Sunday will secure a spot in the quarter finals.

Myerscough will be looking to the experience of John Challioner

who is enjoying a great run of form to get them over the line in the North East.
