All teams in race for glory

All five of Fylde's senior teams are still in contention for promotion and/or becoming champions of their various leagues going into the last few weeks of a long season.

Whilst the 1sts and Vandals, both in third place in their leagues, are fairly long outsiders to achieve this goal, the Saracens have already wrapped up promotion and are now looking to become champions.

The Vikings look like they have promotion within their grasp, and the Wanderers will be looking to secure a very meritorious runners-up spot in their league.

Fylde Wanderers welcome Altrincham Kersal to the Woodlands today, kicking off at 2.30pm, and will expect to keep up the pressure on leaders Sedgley Park.

With one defeat in their last twelve games and up against the 11th placed Cheshire side then the Wanderers will hope to extend this run.

AK are in relegation difficulties but look as though they could escape this fate as they have games in hand on some of the other clubs around them at the bottom of the Bateman BMW Premiership.

The all conquering Fylde Saracens are also at home when they welcome Burnley 2nds (kick off 3pm) to the Woodlands. The already promoted league leaders of Miller Homes 3 (North) will be looking to clinch the championship in their final five games.

Burnley are deep in relegation trouble but could yet escape if they can put together a few wins. The Sarries have won their last 21 matches in all competitions.

Fylde Vikings face their hardest game of the season, a top of the table battle at leaders Pendle.

The Vikings are unlikely to catch the leaders even if they win this match but this would go a long way to securing the second promotion place in the division if they were able to do so.

They'll be looking to get the unfortunate home defeat by Bury a couple of weeks ago out of their collective system.

Fylde Vandals, third place in Miller Homes 5 (North), travel to 10th placed Colne & Nelson looking to extend their winning run of four very tight contests in which they've come out on top.
