Sale FC vs Sedgley Tigers

This week’s Newsletter

The Visitors

The Tigers are coming!  They haven’t played a league game at the CorpAcq Stadium in over SEVEN years! Get down on Saturday and roar on the Dogs to victory! Don’t miss out on this one as we aim to get revenge for our loss away to them earlier in the season.

The Game

After toppling league leaders Rams last weekend and 3rd placed Birmingham the week before, we are looking for a little revenge on our neighbours 8th place Sedgley Park Tigers. We lost away to Tigers before Christmas although the last time they were at Heywood Road (23rd December 2017) we defeated them in front of a bumper Christmas crowd. That was also the day we opened the Suite @Sale FC.

Hospitality

This weekend we have hospitality available for our members and for non-members.  If you’ve not sampled pre-match hospitality this season, it is £25 (£12.50 for under 16’s) for a two course meal from our Executive Chef Eugene in the Suite @Sale FC with exclusive use of the balcony to watch the game next to the bar.

Steve Hanley

We will also have ex-Sale Sharks and England Legend Steve Hanley as MC for the day in hospitality. He will interview coaches and players in the Suite @Sale FC prior to the game for you to gain an insight into what happens on game day and the mood in the changing room.

A Week of Recognition

England Come Calling

This week we have had the exciting news that one of our current Sale FC 1861 players Sophie Hopkins has been selected into the England U20’s training Squad hot on the heels of the announcement that Ben Bamber and one of our props from last season James Harper have both been selected for the England A Squad. The club are delighted for all three players and wish them the best of luck for their upcoming games.

 

Game Postponed

Frozen Pitch

Unfortunately the 1st XV game today is postponed due to frozen pitch. Tickets and hospitality can be refunded or moved to the rescheduled fixture. All hospitality bookings will be contacted directly.

RIP: Archie Vokes

Statement
Sale FC Rugby are devastated to learn of the tragic passing of our Vikings player Archie Vokes and his mother Kate. Archie and Kate died in an accident whilst skiing in the French Alps on Thursday.
Archie was a popular member of our Vikings team and will be sorely missed by his team mates and the wider club.
The club will look to support his family and friends in any way we can during this difficult time.
