Match Preview

After last week’s opening win, Sandbach will be looking to follow that up, when they visit Derby this Saturday. They know however, that will not be easy, and will be looking to avenge a narrow defeat from last season there, when a late try deep into stoppage time, snatched victory from their grasp. Derby have some big units up front, and pace out wide, so Sandbach will need to make sure their defence can cope with that, and that they take all their scoring chances when they arise. Sandbach make a few changes to last week’s team, with Benny Elliot, Mike Eggleston and Elliott Morris returning, while Ben Twemlow finds himself at hooker, as Sandbach await the return of Josh Brown from Canada. For the neutral, last year’s game was a great advert for Level 5 rugby, and with the match scheduled to be played on Derby’s brand new 4G pitch, there is no reason to believe, this one will not be the same.
