Their first scheduled game of 2006 is away to Lonsdale on the 8th Jan, but this has the potential to be moved due to NRFC's cup game.<br /><br />In that cup game, they face high flying Racing Club Fantana in a game that has twice been postponed. Should the boys manage to get through that tough tie they can look ahead to a semi-final against Lonsdale, and a possible place in the final against Ladzio or Ascot who play on the 8th of Jan.<br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1990/1605/400/stats.jpg" border="0" />NRFChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17469093592403008707noreply@blogger.com0
