Match Preview

It does not get any easier this weekend – if anything a lot harder.

Hull are in third, but are just three points behind Lymm, and as they play Harrogate this weekend, a win could put Hull into second. Only Lymm have a better scoring record or defensive record this season. Hull’s only defeats have come against Lymm and Billingham, and are the only team to have not lost to Preston Grasshoppers, holding them to a 10v10 draw.

They have won their last four games with maximum points, including a 42v7 win over Wirral a month ago.

TEAM : The only change to last weekend’s squad, is late withdrawal Kris Bratton being named again, but there are plenty of positional changes

Duncan Green moves back into the front row, being the only change in the pack.

In the back division, Alistair Thompson retains his place, with Dini Noyo moving to scrum half and Matty Kaye to the bench. Glenn Weightman moves to outside half with Nathan Wooff at full back.

WEATHER : After rough weather forecast for Hull today (Thursday) the next two days look warmer, so hopefully the game is not in any danger.
