Following on from their 50-20 win over Didsbury Toc H in the Lancashire Plate QF, Bolton get back to business in the league campaign with a home fixture against 7th placed Aldwinians. Aldwinians have made a good start to their season with 3 wins from their 6 outings, including a 27-18 win away from home at 2nd placed Keswick.

Winnies come into the fixture on the back of a loss in the same cup competition having failed to overturn Widnes at home in a tight 10-15 match, but safe in the knowledge that wins against Wigton and Keswick prove they are not to be underestimated.

The Cherry and Whites have managed to secure wins over their opposition on the last 6 occasions the sides have met and despite Aldwinians ability, they must look to extend that to 7 if they wish to continue their push for a higher league position. Historically, Bolton have always been strong at home and so far this season only one solitary point has been earned by a visiting team. Head Coach Dave Crouch will be expecting more of the same from his team who currently sit in 3rd, just 1 and 4 points behind 2nd and 1st place.

League leaders Tarleton face a touch visit to Fleetwood, but their early season form indicates they will have enough to overcome their opposition who currently lie in 5th place. Albeit an upset could prove very useful if Bolton can secure 4 or even 5 points at home.

Keswick host Eccles in a repeat of the fixture that sent Eccles into N1W and forced Bolton into the play off at the end of the 13/14 Season. However, since returning from N1W Eccles have struggled and Keswick will possibly see the as an opportunity to make up some ground on Tarleton.

De La Salle host Oldham, who have managed just 2 wins so far. Della will be hoping to keep their strong home record in tact and perhaps wishing Aldwinians to do them a favour as they look to improve on last season's 2nd placed finish.

Injury laden Wigton are slowly creeping back to full strength and host league newcomers Burnley, who, despite an opening weekend victory, have failed to pick up any further victories thus far. The long journey to Wigton can do all sorts to a travelling player and it's likely that Wigton will make the most of home advantage.

Finally, Trafford MV host Hawcoat Park and Aspatria will welcome Littleborough to Bower Park following their loss in their RFU Vase Round Robin match vs De La Salle. Littleborough have been hit with an RFU sanction of 10 points, with disciplinary issues being quoted as the catalyst. An unfortunate blow for a side that could have been a contender this season.
