WIDNES RUFC look to get the show back on the road again after their enforced exit from the Lancashire Cup.

The club was unable to meet its obligations against Preston Grasshoppers because of a shortage of front-row forwards, and had to concede the game under the competition rules.

With only a Lancashire Trophy game against Liverpool St Helens to sort out, coach Lee McDermott and his side can turn their attention to pulling clear from the lower reaches of South Lancs/North Cheshire 1.

This Saturday they play host to sixth-placed Hoylake - Ben Glover returns at hooker - before entertaining Burnage, who lie fifth.

Sandwiched in between is a trip to Dukinfield.

The club hosts a 'Psychic Evening' with James Byrne this Sunday (8pm). Tickets are £6 - tel 0151 510 9475.
