Games between these two teams are never dull affairs, in fact in all 5 previous games this season the margin of victory has been one goal, therefore fans can expect more of the same this coming weekend.
Following on from last weekends disappointment, for the Bison it’s very much a case of, the only way is up.
Rest assured Ash and the players will have been working their socks off in training this week, as they look to make amends and begin climbing the table.
