Billingham 27 v Fylde 24: match report by Simon Taylor Fylde’s winless run stretched to 5 games as they suffered their fourth straight defeat in 2026. It was déjà vu from a fortnight previously against Macclesfield, as Fylde conceded a 76th minute penalty near their own 10-yard line, which Luke Wilson nervelessly knocked over to give Billingham the lead back for the first time since half time. This completed a comeback from 24-12 down after 55 minutes to the delight of the home supporters. Fylde returned home with another 2 losing bonus points but were left rueing some key moments in the game that made all the difference in the final analysis. With a full 15 players missing through injuries and unavailability, Fylde shuffled the deck once more. They welcomed back Matt Garrod for the first time in nearly a year and handed Dan Slawson his competitive first XV debut
