Fix 'n' Mix: Skolars look to teach the Viking Invasion a lesson

We would like to welcome London Skolars to SportTrades Pulse and also Fix ‘n’ Mix section.

Rugby League: The season starts this weekend, with the Northern Rail Cup group stage matches. London Skolars are at home against Widness Vikings. You can find all venue and ticket details in the previous posting. The Vikings have hopes and excellent chances of gaining Super League status in 2012, however, are currently a league higher than the Super Skolars. The Skolars will have their work cut out and will need to keep attention well and truly focussed. Its sport, surprise results happen – come on the Skolars.

Rugby Union: The men in black return to the lane this weekend. Following a fantastic victory against local rivals St Albans last week, Harpenden entertain Hampstead this Saturday. The clubhouse is open on Friday night and will be showing Wales v England, Six Nations opener. Steak sandwiches are available to purchase at half time, well worth it.

Ice Hockey: Chelmsford Chieftains have been running around the South of England over the last few weeks. They get a break from the road this week. The pride of the Essex capital entertains Streatham Redskins on Saturday evening 18.30 face/off.

Basketball: The Hull Wasps are also on the road this weekend; as they travel to Tees Valley Mohawks tip/off 4pm Saturday. The Wasps will try and turn around fortunes after last weekends defeat.

Hockey: The mighty Jesmond Parish Churches Hockey Club is back in action. They entertain Marton Furness, the lead singer in A ha (nobody laughed last time either.) this Saturday in the league.

Football: In Sol y Futbol, UD Lanzarote sits pretty at the top of the table. This Sunday sees then travel to Tenerife to play CD Laguna. Now Ian is back in communication, we will get fast and accurate reporting again.

Kult & Punk: A massive weekend for the boys and St Pauli. St Pauli hopes to continue their rise up the bundasliga, but is faced with a fierce local derby against Hamburg, at their place. Last September the two teams played out a heated 1-1 draw. The boys have confirmed they will be leaving Zoë’s Bar to watch this.

A busy weekend in ‘March to the Arch’ with two SportTrades adopted clubs in action. In the F.A.Trophy, Mansfield Town play Alfreton in the 3rd Round. The Women’s F.A.Cup is slightly more complicated. As you may be aware we followed Newquay in previous rounds, they defeated Plymouth to set up the next tie. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, they were removed from the competition and Argyle reinstated. So Derby County will play against the hopes of SportTrades, the Green Army, Plymouth Argyle. We will update ‘March to the Arch’ next week - in terms of fixtures, results and merit tables.

As always please check with the featured clubs to confirm, time, venue and day. It’s Your sport, Your Life so Happy Sporting.
