James Grayson will lead Northampton Wanderers in the Premiership Rugby Shield for the second straight week as they take on Newcastle Falcons A at Franklin’s Gardens this evening.
The men in Black, Green and Gold are bidding to close the gap at the top of the Northern Conference of the competition, with tonight’s opponents the only side above them in the standings.
With just two matches remaining in the group stage of the competition and Worcester Cavaliers now level on points with Northampton, a victory for the Wanderers this evening (kick-off 7pm) would go a long way towards qualification for the knock-out rounds.
Home Wanderers matches remain free to attend for Season Ticket Holders; with tickets costing £5 for adults and £2 for under-16s for those without a Season Ticket.
