Match Preview

For a second time in two years, the team make the long trip to Pocklington (East of York). That was a good victory, and a similar performance is needed again this weekend, against the team sitting immediately below us in the table, just three points behind, so a good win for them could see us leapfroged, whilst a win for us could open up a gap.

They only have the one win, but it came a fortnight ago against their near neighbours Driffield, who at that time were unbeaten and topped the table. Last weekend they picked up a try scoring bonus point away at Morley. Their other games have been at home to Moortown and York, whilst they have played West Hartlepool and Durham City away.

TEAM : Four changes from the team who played so well against Huddersfield YMCA last weekend. Dane Blenkharn replaces Jack Lashley; Steven Newton returns in places of Joe Lashley who came in for him last week; Kris Bratton is back on the wing replacing Joe Cook, whilst Nathan Wooff makes a first start, after coming off the bench last weekend, he starts at fullback in place on Nick Carlton. Glen Chesher and Dan Shorrock are on the bench with the third player yet to be named.

WEATHER : Sun and showers

No live rugby at Mintbridge on Saturday – but there will be some BIG games on the BIG screen

It looks as if the only live rugby on Sunday is the U13s vs Fylde, (so pop down to see the stars of the future) with the Colts also away – but more BIG games on the BIG screen.
