Mowden Park face Championship side Yorkshire Carnegie in their first home game of pre-season on Saturday (3pm Kick Off).

DMP will welcome Yorkshire Carnegie to the Northern Echo Arena for the first time on Saturday as both sides continue their pre-season preparations for 2018/19. This promises to be a great test for Danny Brown's side, facing Championship opposition for the first time at the Arena.

Mowden Park come into pre-season on the back of their highest league finish in the club's history. Their 2nd placed standing in National One saw them win 23 of their 30 league games, finishing 19 points behind the promoted Coventry. Saturday's visitors also enjoyed a top half finish last year, ending the year in 6th place in the Championship table.

Both teams opened their pre-season campaigns last weekend with wins. DMP kicked off with a 66-28 win away at Hawick, scoring 10 tries in the process. Carnegie meanwhile made the short trip to Otley and ran out 27-7 winners.

Saturday's game should be a great test for both sets of players as they continue their respective preparations for the season ahead. The game is also followed by DMP Sharks v Loughborough at 5pm and #TeamLuke v Newton Aycliffe at 7pm, and supporters can enjoy these extra games free of charge!
