Match Preview

PREVIEW: Wirral 1XV v Lymm

Wirral 1XV are striving for a win this week, following an unexpected loss last week, 0-15, against Ilkley. With promotion looking unlikely to occur this season, Wirral are hoping to instead beat their overall point record for last season. Currently sitting in 6th place in the league, with 65 points, Wirral are aiming to move up the table this week with just 4 points between themselves and 4th place Sandal.

Lymm are coming into this week’s game following a 10-26 loss at home to Huddersfield. The team currently lie just below Wirral, in 9th place, on 39 points, having won just eight of their 24 games.

In the last meeting between the two teams, Wirral won 24-27. Wirral have won a total of 4 out of the last 5 meetings between the two sides, with the only exception being the first time Wirral ever played Lymm. Tomorrow’s game looks to be a closely competitive one, with both teams targeting a win.
