Get to the Woodlands early to support Fylde Hawks who entertain Manchester Rugby Club at the Woodlands today (ko 14.15). Hawks Coach Steve Gough has chosen a very strong squad based on the players who have taken them to 2nd in the NOWIRUL Premiership plus others returning from injury.
Great to see the return of Adam Lanigan who broke his leg playing for Lancashire Rugby back in May and also to Alex Gaughan who has impressed at scrum-half for the 1sts this campaign. Charlie Smith is at lock whilst his cousin Cam is on the adjacent main pitch for the 1st XV v Wharfedale.
Welcome to KGS & The Sale Sharks Academy product Sebi Krippner who makes his debut for the Club on the wing.
15. Atherton L; 14 Lanigan, A, 13 Forster T, 12 Slawson D, 11 Krippner S; 10 Pissarra F, 9 Gaughan A; 1. King R, 2. Williamson R, 3. Kenyon T, 4. Ilhan T, 5. Smith C, 6. Railton C, 7. Horan R, 8. Gardner M.
