Double Header Number One This Sunday (22/07/12) sees the first encounter of a double header of home fixtures, with North Wales Crusaders travelling across to Spotland for our Co-operative Championship One match.

Whitehaven will be the visitors in a week’s time (Sunday 29 July). We also have a double header of home fixtures on the 12 and 19 August, when South Wales Scorpions and Barrow Raiders will be the visitors.

This will be Hornets first home fixture after a few weeks break, which allowed for the summer pitch renovation work to take place. The match kicks off at 3:00pm, and the usual admission costs apply, along with season tickets as per League fixtures.

Many sponsors and hospitality guests are attending the match on Sunday, including Old Rochdalians, ASD Lighting, Molesworths Bright and Clegg, and Kleenstrike.
