FYLDE travel to the most northerly national league club on Saturday when they visit Tynedale in Corbridge (kick off 3pm).

The Lancastrians will be looking for their first away win since November 20 when they overcame Rugby Lions by 24-17.

They have lost four and drawn one of their last five away fixtures and its been this poor form away from the Woodlands which has scuppered their promotion challenge this season.

Tynedale are in sixth place in National Three (North), one behind Fylde.

Fylde hope that prop Neil Hilton and lock Greg Johnson will be fit enough to return to the weakened pack that faced Bradford & Bingley last Saturday. School rugby duties may once again rule out lock Grant Ferguson as well as Mark Evans.

Fylde's 12-23 defeats on Saturday was a curious game in a number of respects. Bradford & Bingley deservedly won following a dominating first half performance. Although the home side lost their unbeaten record at the Woodlands, they battled back and caused some furrowed brows amongst the visitors' coterie of coaches, managers and expensively assembled, cosmopolitan squad.
