Rylands form and stats
Let's have a look at how Rylands performed last season in the Non League Premier: Northern: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 17 victories, 9 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 64 and conceded {55 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 6 and lost 9 with 36/35 goals scored/conceded.
Rylands might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Radcliffe Borough proved too strong as Rylands slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans. Rylands lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Non League Premier: Northern trip to Atherton Collieries.
