Caldy in the Cup for 2nd XV

Date: 28 November 2014

John Young’s 2nd XV face Caldy in the quarter-finals of the cup this weekend.

The men from Paton Field make the journey to Lightfoot Green looking to upset the form book as Hopper’s recent run makes them favourites. However Young’s men will not be taking anything for granted as the last round saw Sedgley Tigers, Macclesfield and Fylde all crash out.

All teams left in the competition will surely feel that this season presents a real opportunity to put some silverware on the mantelpiece.

Saturday’s encounter is a repeat of the 2012 final in which Hoppers edged a thrilling contest. In fact recent clashes between the two sides have generally been high scoring, fiercely contested affairs so the match should be an entertaining spectacle.

Young retains the core of the side that demolished Stockport last weekend with one or two tweaks here and there. Kick off at the Green is 2.15pm.
