Pre-season preparations have been as tough as ever under internationally renowned coaching duo Sean Fletcher and Paul Bailey, ably assisted, in his new role of 1st XV Team Manager, by ex-Lancashire stalwart Carl Bibby.
The coaching staff have been working hard integrating a plethora of new recruits into the playing squad, and their hard work is paying off as many are making their 1st XV debut this weekend, including Darren Wilson, Alex and Ashley Stuart and returning to the fold is Neale Foster.
The rise of Ruskin Park in the past few seasons now sees them able to attract some of the area's top players and the season ahead will no doubt see Ruskin improve further.
Our visitors this weekend are the current holders of the Lancashire Trophy, and should be a good test of the development of the Ruskin squad.
Kick Off is 3pm
