*Double Derby Drama: Hullensians Face Beverley*

where they will go head-to-head with their local rivals, Beverley. This fixture is more than just a game; it's a battle for local bragging rights, notorious for its intensity both on and off the field.

*1st XV vs Beverley (away) Kick-off: 3pm*

While both sides have had a somewhat indifferent start to the season, it's worth noting that Hullensians and Beverley share identical records of 1 win, 0 draws, and 4 losses. This sets the stage for an intriguing clash, as both teams have shown the potential to deliver exceptional rugby when they hit their stride.

Hullensians, currently placed towards the lower end of the table, are seeking a change in fortunes. They are set to welcome back Macauley Hallet, who returns from brief stints at Hull Ionians and the Midland Hurricanes. Macca's presence promises to add significant firepower to the backline.

On the team's radar, Ben Stutely, in superb form, aims to maintain his excellent performance. Leading the exciting backline is the maverick Josh Abbott. The forwards, with their familiar composition, offer a balance of power and dynamism that can be a formidable force on match day.

*The Hawks vs Beverley 2nd XV (away) Kick-off: 2.30pm*

The Hawks, on the other hand, are poised to make their mark with a squad boasting impressive numbers. Following a contentious narrow loss to BP last week, Tom Biglin's men are eager to bounce back and secure a win that could kickstart their ascent up the league table.

The match day squad exudes quality, featuring a well-established starting XV that typically positions them as title contenders as the season progresses. These early-season clashes are the ones that build the confidence needed for a successful middle part of the season.

In this double derby, there's more at stake than just points on the board. It's about local pride and setting the tone for the rest of the season.

Good luck men!
