U23s to round off Senior Academy campaign
Tonight a Falcons Under 23s development side will face Sale Sharks Under 23s at Heywood Road in Manchester, 7pm kick off. The teams have locked horns twice already this season in the Aviva A League back in September and in an Under 23 friendly at Kingston Park in November.
