The 2nd XV fought out a tough 34-34 draw against North Manchester
This Saturday the Men's 2nd XV are the home side as they welcome North Manchester to MacPherson Park for a 2.15pm kick off.
The sides go into this game with Trafford holding 3rd place in the league behind Wigan 2nds and Eccles 3rds - North Manchester 1sts are not too far behind in 5th place with Glossop 2nds separating the teams.
The game will be a tight on but conditions will be much better than last weekend and the players will be looking forward to playing on the main pitch.
The starting XV has a front row made up of Dave Hopper and Chris Farmiloe propping either side of hooker and captain on the day James Diaper.
Joe McVeigh and Tyler Stevens pack down in the second row together.
The back row has Jimmy Craven and Andrew Beales on the flanks and James Halsall packing down at No 8.
Youth takes it's chance in the half backs with Jacob Grant at scrum half and Dillon MacDonald starting at stand off.
Adam Mason and Wayne Scanlon look a strong pairing in the centres while outside of them on the wings we see Laurence Ryan and Callum Boyd.
Rounding off the starting XV at full back we see Adam Fall in the 15 shirt.
The finishers bench has Nathan Mushod, Dan Clark and Chris Lenferna waiting to make their contribution when needed.
Good Luck to all the players available for this weekends games.
