Blaydon top the division with four wins from their opening five and have secured at least one bonus point in every fixture thus far.

Their only defeat came in a narrow 26-24 loss to Hull in their third game of the campaign, where they still earned two bonus points.

Sandal’s clashes have not been short of drama this season with their latest victory a 49-48 win over Rossendale last month.
