Fylde Hawks name a young and talented squad to take on Blackburn 2nds at the Woodlands on Saturday (ko 15.00).
It welcomes three players who will make their Hawks debuts – Sam Carleton, younger brother of 1st XV favourite Tom, Owen Fisher and Lucas Atherton who is named amongst the replacements. Additionally, Charlie Wilkinson makes his league debut for the Hawks.
This is an important game for the Hawks after a number of disappointing ‘call offs’ by opponents in recent weeks. They are still in 3rd place in the NOWIRUL Premier League whilst their opponents are in 9th place.
Please come along to support the Hawks, as well as the Saracens who welcome Leigh RUFC‘s 2nds to the Woodlands, also kicking off at 15.00. Lots of other activities for families are happening at the Woodlands during the afternoon.
