With a clutch of trips to Northern clubs in National Two (North) ahead of us in the 2018-19 season, depending on demand, we may run further Supporters coaches. The level of interest in the coach to ‘Hoppers has been poor. Let’s re-invigorate the presence of Fylde supporters at away games which, in recent seasons, has dropped off disappointingly. New Bar Steward Nigel Wild is very keen to encourage the sense of occasion, comradeship and fun of such away trips. There will be bacon sandwiches before departure and the bar will be open on the return to the Woodlands.

Here’s another act of generosity from a local business! Lytham Dental Clinic have provided complimentary mouthguards to Fylde’s 1st XV squad for the 2018-19 National Two season.

They will also be providing discounted deals to all other senior and colts players as well as to Mini-Juniors. Staff will be on hand at the Mini- Junior registration day on Sunday, 2nd September.

The RFU said: “We strongly recommends that mouthguards or gumshields are worn for any contact rugby sessions (both training and matches). The use of mouthguards can help to protect the teeth and face; however, there is currently no conclusive evidence that mouthguards reduce the risk of concussion. It is recommended that mouthguards are custom fitted.”
