Match Preview

Saturday sees the reappearance of Syston to Bradwall Road, who have returned to the Midlands Premier following promotion from Midlands 1 East, at the first time of asking. Syston have been a bit of a bogey team for Sandbach, so despite their lowly current position, the home team will not be taking the opposition lightly. Last time on their visit to Cheshire two years ago, they came away with a 10 v 12 victory, in a delayed kick off, so it’s hoped they do not get caught up in the notorious M6 traffic again. Sandbach will be looking for a better defensive performance than last week and know if they can cut out the errors, they have the game to beat anybody in this league. Further the game is being sponsored by “The Old Gang”, with several past players shelling out their hard earned. So, if you want an entertaining afternoon’s rugby and a bit of nostalgic chat, with several guys you won’t have seen for some time, Sandbach RUFC is the place to be on Saturday.
