The Mavericks welcome old foes Ellesmere Port to Rivacre Road on Saturday for their first home game of the season. The Gaffer, who is still currently on annual shooping leave, leaves the team in the good hands of Pat. Pat welcomes back the likes of Neil Brookes, Gordon Rogers, Andy Smith and Andy Thompson who are sure to bolster the backline and add to the experience of Spot and Stocky and guide their lesser experienced team mates through a tough fixture.
With they're last result against Ellesmere Port reportedly a 19-34 loss while playing at Malone Field the team will want to make sure that their local rivals return home with their tails between their legs.
