Old Crocs Preview
Owen Bennett will skipper a much changed West side as we look to consolidate third place with a tricky trip to Old Crossleyans ..

Regular captain Dan Boatman starts a game for the first time since his injury, however he will be in the second row in place of the unavailable Michael Hogan.

That's the only change in the pack but there are a number of enforced changes in the backs.

Liam Bailey and Andrew Cheslin were injured during the victory over Pocklington last week and Ches is likely to be out for the rest of the season with a torn muscle in his arm. Peter Youll moves from the wing to take his shirt with the excperienced Peter Hodgson at inside centre.

Scott Butcher is also away so Kyle Jamieson comes onto one wing with Luke Mallinson on the other.

Davy Tighe provides back cover from the bench with Jack Angus covering the front row and Joe Myers the rest.

They'll take on an Old Crocs side which has also suffered a number of  injuries including a broken ankle for full back Joe Baker in a 10-10 draw with Alnwick.  They will feature veteran prop Andy Day who has just completed his 700th game for the club.

Old Crocs: 15 James Wainwright ,Billy Hammond, Jack Hammond, Chris Seymour, Gareth Sweeney, Neil Richardson, Will Travis, Mark Palmer, Navneet Sembi, Andy Day, Tony Oxley, Ollie Coyne, Raman Sembi, George Hammond,  Chris Jones. Reps: Richard Wheale, Kev McGill, Will Clayton.

West: Colin Cheslin, Kyle Jamieson, Peter Youll, Peter Hodgson, Luke Mallinson, Stu Waites, Ryan Painter, Ian Pinchen, Andrew Dixon, Adsam Coates, Owen Benett [c], Dan Boatman, Alex Barker, Jon Boatman, Sam Milller. Reps: Davy Tighe, Joe Myers, Jack Angus.
