Fylde are defiant despite their first defeat of the year

October 17, 2025

- by Andy Moore

Last season's runners-up made it a maximum 30 points from their first six games with last Saturday's 40-18 win at the Woodlands, but Fylde's joint-head coach doesn't believe they are a class apart.

Briers told The Gazette: "Sheffield were strong but they didn't do anything we didn't expect. It was a pretty close contest although the scoreline doesn't reflect that.
