There are four ties taking place in an extremely competitive Betfred League One this weekend, but will North Wales Crusaders maintain their unbeaten start?
Following their comprehensive victory over table toppers Midlands on Easter Saturday, the Crusaders have become the only team with a 100% winning record in League One this year and will be keen to continue this in Round 7.
They will welcome Whitehaven to Colwyn Bay – and the winner of this tie could move up to second in the table.
Haven are undefeated in their last three away meetings with North Wales, having won two and drawn one. The Crusaders' last home victory against Whitehaven was a 22-21 Championship win in 2014 at The Rock in Wrexham.
This will be their first meeting since 2019, which was another close contest with North Wales pipping a 22-24 win on the road.
Dewsbury host Rochdale – two sides who will be boosted by their emphatic wins over the Easter period and who are eager to climb the league ladder.
The Hornets have an opportunity to leapfrog the Rams with a victory at the FLAIR Stadium.
Dewsbury, however, have won their last five meetings with Rochdale – their most recent one being a convincing 42-0 home victory in 2023.
Elsewhere, Newcastle welcome Goole to the Toon. It’s their first meeting in history, but can Thunder claim their first win or will Goole secure back-to-back wins for the first time in the professional ranks?
Then, Workington meet Swinton for the first time since 2018. Workington have the better record in recent times, have beaten the Lions in their last four home meetings.
Swinton are searching for their first victory away at Workington since 2010 - will they be able to succeed 15 years on?
