Match Preview: Selby RUFC vs Old Brodleians (Home)

Selby return to Sandhill Lane this weekend as they host Old Brodleians in an important Regional North East 2 fixture, with the season now entering its decisive final phase. Recent rain means the weather is likely to play its part, with standing water in places and conditions expected to be testing, but all involved are hopeful the match will go ahead.

Sitting 5th in the table, Selby find themselves in a strong position as the push towards the play-offs begins. Home form has been a real foundation this season, and that advantage will again be key against an Old Brodleians side who edged the earlier meeting on their own ground. With both teams well matched and plenty at stake, another tight and physical contest is expected.

Handling, discipline and forward effort will be crucial in what could become a battle of territory and patience rather than free-flowing rugby. Selby will be looking to harness the familiar surroundings of Sandhill Lane and build momentum as the business end of the campaign approaches.
