Following the short break last weekend, Senior Rugby returns to Bradwall Road on Saturday when Sandbach entertain newly promoted West Park (St Helens). With the clocks having gone back games now kick-off at the earlier time of 2.15pm, which gives plenty of time to settle in after the game and watch England v Fiji on the club’s big screens at 5.40pm.

After a week’s rest, Sandbach will be seeking to build on recent performances and maintain their strong winning run. Hopefully a couple of players will also return from injury, meaning some potential difficult decisions for the coaching team. Having not played West Park (St Helens) for quite some time, they will be something of an unknown quantity for the Bach. But given that they reside in a strong Rugby League area, no doubt we will see a lot of those characteristics in there play and Sandbach will need to be prepared, for what is likely to be another full-blooded encounter. Once again let’s hope for a decent day weather-wise and plenty of entertainment.
