Match Preview

Preston Grasshoppers Webmaster7 Mar - 10:21

Hoppers make the long trip to the North East and Billingham tomorrow. The lads will be looking to bounce back from a comprehensive defeat to league leaders Leeds Tykes last Saturday.

Billingham currently sit at the foot of what is a very congested lower half of the National League 2 North table. With 31 points from 20 games, Billingham sit only 20 points (4 bonus point wins!) behind 8th place Chester. Hoppers meanwhile are in 10th place with 45 points.

The last time Billingham saw a win was back on the 1st February when they comprehensively beat Fylde 39-17 at home. A run of 4 consecutive defeats since has seen them fall to the bottom of the table so they will be keen to get back to winning ways on Saturday. All 5 of Billingham's wins so far have come at home.
