The American National Rugby League moves into Round 3 this weekend and will feature an Atlantic Conference doubleheader in the big apple.
 
The hometown New York Knights will host their archrivals Aston Bulls in the early game, before the newly reborn franchise Delaware Vipers lock horns with the improving Northern Raiders in the late game.
 
Both matches will be played at Pier 40 in Manhattan with the first clash set for a 7p ET kickoff. The second game is scheduled to start at 8:30p ET.
 
The Knights (1-1) currently hold down second place in the standings, with the Bulls (0-1) lying in the five spot. The Raiders (1-1), who’re enjoying their best start to a season in years, are third and will be looking to improve their record against the sixth-placed Vipers (0-1).
 
Week 3 gets underway earlier in the day at Shark Park in Levittown, PA, when the table topping Bucks County Sharks (2-0) host the third-placed Connecticut Wildcats (1-1).
