Rugby League: Mayfield preview

Rochdale Mayfield

It's a long trip to Cumbria for Mayfield who face Egremont Rangers this weekend.

Coaches Matt Calland and Sam Butterworth will be looking at making changes for the game as Mayfield try to get back on track after capitulating against Myton last week.

Despite being 22 points up Mayfield lost concentration and appeared to just stop trying.

Credit to Myton though as they spotted the change in Mayfield’s attitude and upped their game to take the spoils.

Butterworth said: "Last week’s performance was just not good enough from a team with quality in every department. we were guilty of thinking we had won the game with still a long way to go.

"Hopefully we have learned lessons from the defeat and we have worked hard in training this week in preparation for this game." 

Egremont have failed to impress so far with only four wins from thirteen starts.

They will have noted last week’s result and will be looking to emulate Myton's performance so this will be a tough game for Mayfield but there is no doubt that Mayfield have the quality to come out on top as long as they stick to the game plan.

The Mayfield NWML side face in form Chorley at the Mayfield Sports Centre on Saturday.

Third placed Chorley are one of Mayfield’s fiercest rivals in the race to top the table but the young Mayfield side fear no one and will be supremely confident in their ability to win the game following a big win last week at Bury Broncos.
