Cinderford v Fylde Saturday 28 March KO 3:00pm National 1
Foresters Focus on the Remaining Four
Following another week’s break in the league fixtures, the Foresters are totally focused on the remaining four National 1 games knowing that the target to stay in the league is still very real and within reach.
Taking the positives from the disappointing away game at Wharfedale two weeks ago, Nic Corrigan pondered on the two disallowed tries and how different the table could have been. Last week Old Albanian were deducted five points for fielding ineligible players and this has closed the gap between the two sides to just five.
On Saturday the team returns to rugby in a positive mood and determined to give the home supporting crowd a game to be proud of against Fylde, who have also not enjoyed great form in recent months.
There is still everything to play for and the players are determined to fight for what they deserve until the final whistle at Dockham Road on April 25th.
“We can never let up and every game now is for sure a must-win. I am looking to the players for their courage and character to step up and be resilient out there. Support from the home crowd goes along way and something that we missed up at Wharfedale. In training we have talked about energy, precision and the right mental attitude and are under no illusion about the test we have in front of us and the fight against Fylde,” said Nic Corrigan, DoR.
Dual registered Callum Sheedy looks to start at ten as James Moffat is unavailable. Prop Jack Cosgrove returns to the squad in place of Jake Caulfield. A welcome return also to DR Lloyd Evans and Sam Underhill, both match fit after rehab from their injuries.
