Hoppers welcome old friends and rivals Fylde to Lightfoot Green this Saturday for what should be a 'Christmas Classic'.

Fylde come into the game sat 4th in the table and with a last kick of the game 31-30 win last time out against Wharfedale. Hoppers on the other hand lost at Lymm despite putting up a good performance and securing a 4 try bonus point.

Earlier in the season saw a very tight contest between the two sides at the Woodlands with Fylde sneaking it late on in a 22-20 score line.

Looking ahead to the game, Head Coach Dan Orwin said "We aren’t lacking in confidence, and we know that if we impose our style of play on teams, we will get the results. We have threats all over the pitch and our attacking game is underpinned by ball movement, getting to those wide spaces. Defensively, we were disappointed to concede 42 points at Lymm last Saturday, and we have worked hard on adjusting some things this week to make us better connected."
