Hoppers welcome Sheffield Tigers to Lightfoot Green with both sides looking for a first win of the 2024/25 National League 2 North season.

Both of Hoppers defeats have been by 2 points with a 30-32 opening day defeat to Chester followed by a 22-20 loss at Fylde last week.

Looking ahead to the game, Hoppers Head Coach Dan Orwin said "Sport is brutal sometimes but that's why we love it! As we all know, the last two outings ended in disappointment for us. We are extremely positive, we are all in it together, and we know that we are a team on the up. Fortunately we get the chance to go again against Sheffield Tigers this week!".

Team changes (Use the line-up tab above) are forced by injuries to Jack Lightowler and Ben O'Ryan as well as Jake Maher being unavailable. Izaak Gosling comes in for a first start of the season with Ewan Naylor, Josh Longson and Harvey May coming on to the bench.

Harry Holden (pictured on the home page) will be hoping to keep his rich vein of try scoring going, having scored 5 tries in the first 2 games!
