The table is beginning to settle, but Saturday still carries weight — top-three clashes, an unbeaten run at stake, and early momentum on the line.

RHU COLTS v LOKOMOTIV

10:00 AM Kick Off – Ardenconnell Park

The Story

These two come into the weekend operating in the same early-season space, with neither side cut adrift or comfortably clear. The table is beginning to form, but there’s still room to move, which makes this fixture more about positioning than statements.

The Opportunity

Three points here give the winner a foothold among the sides looking up rather than back. It’s a chance to stay in touch with those above and avoid slipping into catch-up mode as the fixtures stack up.

Hugh’s View

This looks like one where margins matter. Organisation, discipline, and taking care of the basics are likely to count for more than ambition.

FINAL WORD

This is the sort of Saturday where a few results quietly sort the early picture — worth getting along to see who copes and who still has work to do. These are the games that tend to tell you something about the league.
