Fylde Wanderers face one of their keenest games of the season when they visit Lightfoot Green to take on Preston Grasshoppers 2nds on Saturday in a Bateman BMW Premiership game. The Wanderers are in 4th place in the division and 'Hoppers are 8th - but there is only one win difference so this should be a very tough match. Wanderers name a string line-up:

15 Mark Edwards; 14 Matt Hughes, 13 Ben Hall, 12 Aodhan Carson, 11 Spencer Brennand; 10 Ryam Miemczyk, 9 James Smith; 1 Ted Scott, 2
Alan Holmes, 3 Martin Macareavy, 4 Andrew Rosen, 5 Matt Thompson, 6 Nick Campbell, 7 Jeavon Trend, 8 Ali Atkinson (Capt.).

Replacements: Fraser Spavin, Joe Birtwistle, Tom Maden-Wikinson.

--------------------------------------

The other three teams are in Halbro cup action.

Fylde Saracens welcome Bolton 2nds, from a division lower in the Miller Homes structure, to the Woodlands (ko 14.15) for a Halbro Trophy game. Sarries are holders of the Trophy so will be defending it once more.

Fylde Vikings have a very tough challenge on their hands, also in the Halbro Trophy, when they visit Wirral 2nds, the team that completely demolished the Saracens at the Woodlands a couple of weeks ago.

Finally, Fylde Vandals travel to fellow Miller Homes 4 (North) team Blackburn 3rds for a Halbro Shield 2nd round game. Vandals are currently a number of places higher in the division but no doubt the home side will put in a big effort in the Shield competition.
