Hoppers welcome high flying Sheffield to Lightfoot Green tomorrow afternoon.
Sheffield currently sit in 3rd in National 2 North, winning 9 of their 10 games with the only defeat a 1point loss to Leeds Tykes back in October.
Looking ahead to the game, Head Coach Dan Orwin said "Although we know that our home form has been good, we must see a response from the players if we are to get a result against a strong Sheffield side. This starts with us staying on script, keeping hold of the ball better, and being more physical in defence."
Key men to watch for Sheffield are Rhodri Campbell who has registered 10 tries to date and Elliot Fisher who has racked up 73 points.
