Match Preview

Sandbach return to action following last week’s postponement of fixture due to weather, with a trip to scenic Bridgnorth in Shropshire. Earlier in the season Sandbach hung on for a narrow 29 v 26 victory at Bradwall Road, when penalties and yellow cards where again an issue for the boys in green and red. Since that result both sides form has improved and Sandbach will be keen to get another winning run going, following their narrow defeat last time out at Scunthorpe. Bridgnorth is not the easiest venue to get a win though, where a heavy pitch on the Seven flood plain and changing facilities some distance from the ground, do make it a place that can throw sides out of their normal match day routine. Sandbach will need to fully focused and will be looking to avenge a defeat there last year, where a failure to take their chances in dismal conditions, saw them go down 16 v 8. Expect another difficult close encounter.
