Match Preview

Sandbach will be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday, when Doncaster Phoenix visit Bradwall Road. The young Yorkshire side are very much aligned to the Championship outfit Doncaster Knights, with several of their future players being developed by them and as a result they have a reputation for fast and open rugby. Sandbach therefore may need to adjust their own game, so as not to play to the visitors’ strengths, and will certainly need to look after the ball much better than last week. The Phoenix side did the double over the Bach last season and the home team will need to guard against their quick penalties and counterattacks, to ensure this is reversed. Sandbach though have some pace and dangerous players themselves and as the weather is forecast to be much better than last weekend, it promises to be an entertaining affair.
