BRIERSY’S & LONO’S & LONO’S PROGRAMME NOTES
Alex Loney writes: “A very warm welcome to Otley on what hopefully should be a fantastic day at the Woodlands for the final home match of the season for the 1st XV. Firstly on Otley - we know they are quality side and fully deserved their victory against us earlier in the season. Otley have a ‘whole court game’ where they are able to play through their set piece and running game whilst being tactically switched on. Otley had a good win last time out in a close contest vs Wharfdale, so sure confidence will be high. Today is an opportunity for the Fylde players to put right a previous defeat and finish off the season with an unbeaten home record. There is always a risk that towards the end of a season fatigue and energy drop. However, the players have been focussed and still working hard week to week to ensure performance levels remain high; no doubt that the fundamentals of our game and accuracy will need to be close to our best to achieve a win today. As this is the final programme notes of the season, it is fitting to acknowledge all the hard work of many people that support the 1st XV all season and to make sure home match days run smoothly. Many volunteers have contributed to a successful season and the playing group massively appreciate everything these valued people do. Thank you to all that have supported the team this season and hope you enjoy today’s match.”
