Issue 14, the last of our digital match programmes for 2022-23, is now available ahead of the Fylde v Otley National Two (North) fixture at the Woodlands on Saturday, 15th April (ko 15.00). Fylde sit 2nd in the division and they will be hoping to retain their unbeaten home record against our visitors who are in 4th place. They are one of three teams who have beaten us in this campaign (in February at Cross Green) and will no doubt provide an exciting spectacle once again.
Dickinsons Solicitors are the match ball sponsors. 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. Fylde hold the bragging rights over Otley in the 97 matches between these famous old clubs in the period 1928 to date but many have been close and have always competitive fixtures.
