Vagabonds Ladies face stern test

Vagabonds Ladies beat Rossendale 38-10 at Glencrutchery Road in October

Vagabonds Ladies travel to Rossendale on Saturday hoping to maintain their 100% record in North West Division Two.

Darrin Cook's side have won all five of their games so far in their inaugural season, including a 38-10 win in the corresponding home fixture in October.

Cook told BBC Isle Of Man: "The squad's been training hard over Christmas and we're full of confidence for Saturday.

"Rossendale have already proved what a good side they are this season, they're third in the table for a reason."

In October the match was played in appalling conditions and was dominated by the forwards, but this time the Manx side will be hoping for to get their speedy backline into the game.

Rosendale are sure to be stronger at home and the game may well be tighter this time, but Cook's side will be confident of returning with their unbeaten record intact.
