Sale FC vs Wharfedale News

He’s Back!

After a long layoff for injury we have player coach back in action this weekend. He starts on the bench, but, I’m sure we’ll all be delighted to see Neil Briggs return to play down at Heywood Road.

Although we have quite a few players out injured, we do have some boys coming back as well.  Luke James, Arron Reed, Nic Dolly and a return to Heywood Road for Harvey Derby

KO is at 2:15 pm and the gates are open from 12:30

Come down and welcome the boys back.

We are also encouraging everyone on social media to use the #onesalefc hashtag so we can all follow the team.

Don’t forget we’ve got highlights from last season’s game at Heywood Road here

Sale FC Starting to Click

This weekend Sale FC travelled down to league leaders Stourbridge, who lost their first game last week 14-12 to Sheffield Tigers in a tight away game.  The feeling was that the opening of their new 4G pitch, the sting of a narrow loss, their massive forward pack and the pace of the game might be too much for Sale FC who haven’t really fired this season.

In fact the first 10 minutes of the game certainly indicated that Sale were going to struggle against some top quality opposition.  With a penalty miss in the first three minutes to Stourbridge, and then two minutes later a quick move down the line to their rapid 12 brought the full back on at pace to give Stourbridge five points with just five minutes on the clock.

Sale FC pick up another 5 points

Sale FC overcame a spirited Luctonians team in style this weekend racking up 48 points and only allowing one try to keep up their stifling defensive record.  Sale FC are still in fifth place for the travel to Stourbridge on Saturday, but, there are only two points between 5th and 2nd.  The match highlights and post match interviews are now up and can be found here 

A full match report will be up tomorrow.

Sale Bag Five Points in Yorkshire

Sale FC 31 Otley Rugby 13

A tricky away game at Otley RUFC was safely negotiated with a five point haul, despite Sale FC never really hitting top gear.  This is no disrespect to the opposition, as the same could be said for them.  The conditions were breezy and there were plenty of mistakes and errors.  However, the tries taken by Sale FC included a real gem scored by Arron Reed under the posts. Highlights will be up later in the week.  Meanwhile we have a post match interview with Jake Barron and Mark Lawrence.
