Management preview:

Speaking in his post-match interview on Saturday, Head coach Mark Bradshaw looked ahead to tomorrow’s trip to Chester.

There’s no signs of any knocks or injuries even though everybody has given everything today.

Going into Tuesday’s game I have a full group to choose from and we will have a look at Chester, how they’ve done today and last week.

It’s always a game that we look forward to, I always enjoy going to Chester, fantastic stadium, good pitch against a good team and this is what should excite people, this new group, going to new stadium’s and showing what we are capable of.
