Sandbach make their first ever trip to Bridgnorth and following last week’s result, will be looking for a little more precision in their play, for what will be no doubt be another challenging game. Bridgnorth started the season well, but have started to struggle a little of late, as the relentless rigors of National League rugby has started to take effect. Most of their games have been close though and their 61 v 5 victory at home against Longton a month ago, certainly shows that they are a dangerous team. Sandbach of late have also been somewhat inconsistent, as they have had to come to terms with a number injuries, causing them to have an unsettled starting XV. However, Sandbach known that they still have quality players in their squad to come in and that when they put it all together they are a match for any side in this league. Weather permitting expect an entertaining game.
