Hull Ionians vs Preston Grasshoppers, 5th April 2025

Match Preview

Preston Grasshoppers Webmaster4 Apr - 10:14

After a week off, the 1st XV head to Brantingham Park tomorrow afternoon to take on Hull Ionians. Hoppers will be looking to pick up vital points as the season reaches its climax with just 3 games to go.

A look at the league table shows Hoppers sat just one point and one place above the bottom 2, which is likely to be the cut off for relegation.

As well as Hull Ionians tomorrow, the lads also face Lymm next week and Chester on the final day of the season. Every point picked up now will be crucial in the run in.

Milestones

Harry Holden makes his 50th appearance tomorrow and is also named as skipper. Harry has enjoyed a magnificent season racking up 18 tries to date which gives him a total of 23 tries in his 49 appearances for the club. Jacob Murray looks set to make his debut off the bench.
