Last away game for Vandals

Halifax Vandals will play their final away match of the season when they travel to Ossett on Saturday.

The Vandals have their eyes on a top-five finish, and now have a six-point gap over Knottingley in sixth with three games to go.

Tough home games against fourth-placed Castleford and title-chasing Barnsley will follow - so it is crucial for the club to get a victory on Saturday.

The Vandals edged out Ossett 10-3 in the home fixture earlier in the season, however it has always been a tricky away tie - with a 30-13 loss on their last visit their in 2019.

Ben Burnside, Isaac Pollard and Danny Richardson all return for the Vandals, while Janek Kazmierski makes his 1st XV game of the season.
