The scheduled end of the season was the 18th April but has been prolonged due to a backlog of matches postponed due to bad weather in the depths of winter.

Following their defeat at Harrogate last Saturday, Fylde have slipped to 4th in the table and they will be underdogs at Nuns' Liberty Way Stadium to improve on this position. With a number of players missing through Lancashire County commitments, plus a long injury list, it will once more give some of the squad's youngsters a chance to impress the Woodlands club's rugby managers who will already be planning for next season.

Nuneaton have proved themselves outstanding champions of the division although they have slipped up a little in recent weeks with defeats at Kendal and Macclesfield. They will be looking to celebrate in style against one of the handful of clubs that have chased them for promotion all season.

Fylde regulars Steve Nutt, Nick Royle, Sam Beaumont and Kieran Brookes will be with the Lancashire squad against Warwickshire and Oliver Brennand would have joined them if he hadn't injured a shoulder a couple of weeks ago. So highly promising current Kirkham Grammar School 6th formers Daniel Bibby and Tommy Banks, who have both impressed in making their senior debuts in recent weeks are likely to notch up some more invaluable experience.

The game will be played, like virtually all Nuns' fixtures this season, not on the Club's main ground but on an outside pitch. This is due to a prolonged and embarrassing dispute between the Rugby Club and Nuneaton Borough FC who share Liberty Way.
