On Saturday House will be hoping to repeat last weeks success against arch rivals Burnley in the Quarter Finals of the Worsley Cup.  The sides last met in in the cup back in 2004 with House running out victorious on their way to a first ever Worsley Cup triumph. It’s the same squad as last with Jonny Russell added after returning from injury.

On Sunday it’s a trip to Bacup as we look to move away from the foot of the table.  Lowerhouse name the same 12 as Saturday.
