Match Preview

Preston Grasshoppers Webmaster31 Jan - 13:07

Hoppers head to Dore Moor and Sheffield Tigers this weekend after a narrow defeat at Tynedale last time out.

Dan Orwin's men picked up a losing bonus point in the North East and lead for a large portion of the game. They come into the game this week bolstered by three new faces, all of whom are included in the match day squad. Sam Kyle-Clay and Josh Ree have joined the club from Darlington Mowden Park and go straight into the starting lineup at prop and full back respectively. Sam Freeman is named on the bench having switched codes from Whitehaven to join Hoppers. You can read more at the link below.

Sheffield Tigers sit just one place and 2 points below Hoppers on 32 points from 16 games. Last time out they earned a narrow 19-14 home victory over Chester and the week before pushed high flyers Lymm all the way in a 30-26 defeat.

Earlier in the season Hoppers edged out a 27-26 victory so this is sure to be a hard fought contest with both sides in need of points to move away from the bottom part of the table.
