| Andy White Returns from Injury |
Third plays fourth this weekend in Durham and Northumberland One, as Horden travel to Ashbrooke to take on Sunderland.
Horden travel up the A19 in good form, having won their last 5 games and 6 out of the 7 so far this season.
Horden welcome back centre Andy White and back-row Steven Heckles to the squad for this match, as they replace Scott Holloway and Richie Walsh respectively.
Andy White returns from a hamstring injury which he picked up in the 24-16 home win over Consett, and Heckles comes back into the squad after an impressive spell in the 2nd XV.
Sunderland will host Horden in their own little run good form, after notching up two impressive scorelines in the past two weeks. Last week they visited Northumberland to take on a very decent Wallsend side, and took the two points back to Wearside with them after an impressive 46-17 scoreline. The previous week they hosted high-flying Northern and although they didn't win the game, the game finished with a very respectable scoreline of 5-23.
All the aforementioned detail can only culminate in a fascinating and exciting match up.
