Issue 11 of our Digital match programmes for 2022-23 is now available ahead of the Fylde v Preston Grasshoppers National Two (North) fixture at the Woodlands on Saturday, 11th February (ko 15.00). Fylde sit in 2nd in the division and they will be hoping to retain their 100% home record in what will be a tough game in front of what we anticipate will be a large and enthusiastic crowd for this oldest of local derbies. Of course, this is a re-scheduled match which should have taken place on 17th December but was postponed because of heavy frost and ice.
The game is sponsored by Mahoney Complete Construction and the match ball by HY Hotels. We hope that they and their guests have a great afternoon.
Read our match programme and then come along on Saturday to see quality National League rugby. The latest in a line of fixtures between the two clubs which started on Boxing Day 1921 should be top entertainment.
