It’s 4th v 1st in National Two (North) as Fylde make two changes in their starting line-up against Hull Ionians RUFC at Brantingham Park (ko 15.00).
The backline remains unchanged, with Olli Parkinson back at lock & Tristan Woodman making his first start at flanker with Toby Harrison nursing an injury. They name a strong bench which includes young prop Corey Bowker if his re-registration comes through in time.
Fylde hold the bragging rights with 13 wins against Ionians 8, and 1 draw in 22 matches since 2005-6. However, Fylde have lost their last three games at Ionians’ well appointed ground.
