This weekend Sale FC 2 take on Lymm 2. Both teams are on level points with Sale FC 2’s being ahead on points difference. The league this year has been a massive plus for Sale FC Rugby giving our younger players much needed experience of Senior rugby and making sure our larger squad gets game time in what is a very competitive league.
This week sees the return of Felix Egan from university to take the field at scrum half in place of the unavailable Matt Simpson.
On a wonderful Autumnal Saturday afternoon here at the CorpAcq Stadium, it was the turn of the second team to entertain Preston Grasshoppers in the Cotton Traders Premier League.

It was they who opened the scoring early on, with just two minutes on the clock when Sale were adjudged to have left their feet at the ruck. Hoppers decided to go for goal on this occasion with the impressive No.9 Jobe Roxby taking the three points on offer giving Hoppers the early lead in the match.

The extras were added by Matt Simpson giving the home side a 7-3 lead. Read More Here
