Issue 6 of our Digital match programmes for 2022-23 is now available ahead of the Fylde v Huddersfield National Two (North) fixture at the Woodlands on Saturday, 12th November (ko 15.00). Fylde’s narrow defeat at Sedgley Park last Saturday sees them drop to 2nd in the division and they will be hoping to get back to winning ways in front of what we hope will be a large and enthusiastic crowd from the Fylde Coast and beyond.
Please note that there will be a minute’s silence just before kick-off to mark Remembrance Day. In that context, check out the story of Bertie Rothwell who helped to establish Fylde RFC in 1919 after he returned from WW1.
The 1st XV are rattling up the points, currently at an average of 40 points and 6 tries per home and away games. So read our match programme and then come along on Saturday to see quality National League rugby. A Roses battle with our friends and rivals Huddersfield should be great entertainment.
