Beaten 36-24 at home by improving Blackheath last time out, Tigers had previously snapped a five-match losing streak with an eye-catching 41-26 success against a Plymouth Albion who had won four on the spin.

The Sedgley losing run consisted of a narrow 28-26 setback at Birmingham Moseley when they were overturned at the death, 27-12 reverse against an inspired Bishop’s Stortford, 29-23 defeat at Leicester Lions and 20-11 and 24-18 losses to Dings Crusaders and Sale FC.

Tigers showed their attacking capabilities with a seasonal league-high points tally in their 65-24 opening day win against Esher.

Players to Watch:

Ben Gregory – Hooker has made a strong start to life at Sedge with three tries in seven games since his summer move from Fylde.

He also enjoyed an outstanding record there with 74 scores in 174 appearances, and has represented Lancashire.

Ollie Glasse – Celebrated his 150th Tigers’ cap in the most recent defeat to Blackheath, racking up 33 tries and 406 points during an impressive career to date.

Capable of playing fly-half, centre or in the back three, he is Park’s second top-points scorer this term with 39 to his name.

Rhys Henderson – Prolific wing is the league’s joint leading scorer with Max Hayman, having dotted down nine times so far including six in his past three games and a hat-trick versus Blackheath last time out.

His efforts this term already surpass his tally of eight last season – joint-second for Sedge – but his overall record since joining ahead of the 2021/22 campaign is eye-catching with 62 tries in 78 games.
