BRIERSY’S & LONO’S & LONO’S PROGRAMME NOTES

Alex Loney writes: “A warm welcome to everyone attending the Woodlands for the National League 2 fixture vs Huddersfield. In the past couple of weeks (one for Fylde), there have been two ‘free’ weeks in the league, which is always a good chance for players to rest their bodies from the physical demands of a tough league. Fylde’s last outing was against unbeaten side Leeds. This was a much improved performance from the previous week but still didn’t produce the win everyone is working hard to achieve. The players are training with focus and effort at present, and improved performance is promising, but the objective is always to turn this into league points, which we are striving to achieve today. Huddersfield have been a tough opponent in this league for a number of seasons. They are determined, have powerful runners and will do everything to get their threats in the game. The World Cup is now over, the clocks have changed to bring in the fullness of the winter months. However, hopefully today’s match can bring some excitement for the Fylde supporters following 2 below performances at home. The 1st XV playing group are confident and motivated to get everything right this week for a home win. Enjoy!” Fylde RFC is delighted to announce that Joint Head Coaches Chris Briers and Alex Loney have committed themselves to the Club until the end of the 2024-25 season. The two former professional players who finished their playing careers at Fylde took up this joint role ahead of the 2021-22 season and continued in 2022-23 when their squad finished as runners- up in National League Two (North).
