Broughton Park are arguably the competition's in-form side, riding a commanding wave of confidence after securing three consecutive league victories. Their most notable recent achievement was a stunning win against previously unbeaten league leaders, Eccles, demonstrating their capacity to defeat any opponent on their day. Park will travel to Ford Lane with the expectation of maintaining their impressive momentum.

Toc H also enters the fixture on the back of a morale-boosting result, having secured an impressive win against a strong Wigan side last time out. The victory showcased Toc H's resilience, as they managed to eventually pull away from the Lancashire team late in the game, securing valuable points. This recent success gives the home side a solid foundation to build upon for the derby.

The selection room has been busy for Toc H this week. The depth of the squad will be severely tested due to an unprecedented eight backs being unavailable for the fixture.
However, this provides a massive opportunity for others to step up. Incoming players have had an excellent week and are eager to make their mark on Saturday. Their ability to integrate quickly and maintain the team's structure will be critical to Toc H’s chances of disrupting Park’s rhythm.

In addition to the 1st XV fixture, the 2nd XV is also hosting Broughton Park, setting up a full day of rivalry action.
The club encourages all supporters to get down to Ford Lane this Saturday to support both teams and provide the vocal backing the players will need in this tough local derby.
Get behind the lads!
