Match Preview – Selby 1st XV vs Moortown (Away)
Selby 1st XV travel to Moortown tomorrow as the league enters its second half, looking to continue the momentum from last weekend’s 35–15 victory over Bradford Salem. That win showcased the squad’s strength, with the Bramley brothers in fine form and the forwards asserting control throughout, giving Selby confidence heading into this tough away test.
Moortown have proven to be a resilient and physical side in recent fixtures, and Selby will need to match their intensity while maintaining discipline and making the most of any scoring opportunities. Previous matches have been closely contested, and the Swans will aim to replicate the smart, cohesive rugby that brought success against Pontefract and Bradford Salem.
A special talking point ahead of the fixture is the inclusion of Andy Tunningley alongside his son Harry, who is set to make his first-team debut. It will mark the first time the pair have featured together for Selby’s 1st XV, a proud moment for the family and a great example of the club’s strong pathway from youth to senior rugby.
The Coaching team will be hoping for a strong forward performance, quick ball movement to the backs, and accurate goal-kicking to secure the win. Supporters may be away from Sandhill Lane, but the team will be looking to make their mark on Moortown’s home turf with another confident display.
Kick-off is at the usual time 2.15pm
