Round 23 sees Richmond back in action under the lights on Friday night, as they travel to Castle Park for a 7:30pm kick-off against Doncaster Knights.

Doncaster come into the fixture sitting 10th in the table, with Richmond just behind in 12th, setting up an important clash between two sides looking to secure crucial points as the season enters its final stages.

Rob Powell’s men have faced a challenging run of fixtures in this final block. However, last weekend the side produced a performance to be proud of against Worcester Warriors at the Richmond Athletic Ground. Paul Altier was the standout, claiming a hat-trick and earning Player of the Match honours on his return from injury, making him one to watch again this weekend.

Doncaster, meanwhile, boast a strong record on home soil. They currently rank third in the league for the fewest points conceded at home and have secured six wins at Castle Park, underlining the challenge that awaits on Friday night.

The contest promises to be tightly fought, with both sides capable of taking the win. Momentum will be key, Richmond will look to build on last week’s performance, while Doncaster aim to continue their form in front of a home crowd.

With everything set for a Friday Night Lights clash at Castle Park, this one is finely poised and could go either way.
