This weekend the Northern League promises some exciting matchups as teams look to climb the standings. Raithby Universals will be aiming to maintain their perfect start after a strong 29–10 win over Excelsior on 19/04/2025. They currently sit top of the log with a 100% win rate and will have the home ground advantage against Albions, who are coming off a 20–7 victory over Gordons Bay Pioneers and will be eager to challenge the leaders.
Blue Stars United, who have also won both their opening games, recently defeated Windmeul United 36–5 and will be looking to continue their momentum when they face Sir Lowrians. Sir Lowrians, fresh from a 24–3 win over Lamotte-Wanderers, will be confident but know they face a tough task against the second-placed side.
Whistling Wheels will be looking to bounce back after a narrow 17–34 loss to Raithby Universals when they meet Stell-Corr, who are riding high after a 17–12 win over Windmeul United. Meanwhile, Gordons Bay Pioneers, still searching for their first win after a 10–26 loss to Albions, will take on Excelsior, who are also winless and desperate to turn their season around. Lamotte-Wanderers, who lost 0–28 to Sir Lowrians, will be hoping for a better showing against Windmeul United.
