RFL MATCH PREVIEW: Hereford Harriers vs North Wales Crusaders

North Wales Crusaders travel to Leominster to face Hereford Harriers this Saturday in the third Championship West fixture of the season.

This last RFL meeting between the two sides saw North Wales defeat the Harriers 58-45 in the opening game of the Mid-Fives back in 2022.


Though the two sides are both a part of the Wales Rugby League Invitational League, both sides have not met in an RFL fixture since that encounter in 2022.


The Harriers who have been an ever presence in the Wheelchair Rugby League Championship(s) since their inception back in 2014, have won the Championship on a number of occasions which led to them having a short stint in the Super League in 2019 and 2020.


The Harriers have been in impeccable form this season, claiming the Challenge Trophy earlier this season by defeating Edinburgh Giants in the final whilst recording some high scores this season, winning 90-06 against former Super League side, Warrington Wolves in the first round before recording a 64-32 victory over Rochdale Hornets last weekend.


Venue:

Leominster Leisure Centre, Leominster, HR6 8LL


Pre-Match:

Supporters of both teams will be able to access the venue from 12pm ahead of the scheduled 12:30pm kick-off.
