Bees Preview

Bees Preview
We need one more point from two away games to guarantee our place in next season's North One East. First up are Bradford and Bingley who would very much like 10 points from their last two home games to ensure the same outcome.

It's going to be a dramatic end to the season with any one of four clubs joining already relegated Horden and Old Crocs.

We travel on the back of five consecutive victories, and having finally started to run in some tries - 12 in the last two games.

However, there are a number of enforced changes this week with Ryan Painter away ski-ing, Eldon Myers doing his bit for Queen and Country, Michael Hogan also working and Luke Mallinson on a stag do in Prague. It's also likely that Hartlepool Council want Adam Coates to do his bit to help shore up the sea defences at Skinningrove - the mind does indeed boggle.

Stu Waites will wear the 9 shirt, proving he can play anywhere in the back line, with Zac back at fly half. Greg Edwards is fit to return in  the centre with Callum Johnston on one wing and Butch on the other allowing Kyle Jamieson to slot in at full back.

They'll face a Bees side desperate to get ten points from their last two home games with Dinnington the visitors on the final day.

The game at Brinbkburn between the two sides ended in a 32-32 score after the visitors fought their way back witn three tries in the last quarter when we were down to 13 men. Sam Miller pictured scoring one of our tries .Sam Miller B&B try

 As things stand we are nine points clear of this week's hosts and Northern. We are also  six clear of Driffield who face the day's most difficult task with  the arrival of llkley who are looking to pip Sheffield for the automatic promotion place. We, of course, travel to Sheffield for the final game next week.

It's all set up very nicely for drama at both ends of the table. But come 4.30 this Saturday afternoon we would very much like to be out of it all, thank you very much.

West squad: Kyle Jamieson, Scott Butcher, Greg Edwards, Peter Youll, Callum Johnston, Zac Southern, Stu Waites, Ian Pinchen, Andrew Rollins,  Ross Wood, Owen Bennett, Chris Atkins, Liam Bailey, Dan Boatman (c), Sam Miller, Dan Quinn, Alex Barker, Jack Angus..

Quite agree. Let's keep up the work rate of recent weeks and continue our good form. I'm sure the players coming in can do a great job for the club.

Good luck all.

Good luck to WEST today. They are likely to be hell for leather at the start of the game and we should counteract with the same. If we keep up the activity levels, concentration and skill levels of the last weeks we should do o.k. and win again, however one point is a MUST!!!

Queen and Country I can understand, work commitments just about, but skiing holidays and stag does at this time and so vital time too I can't get my head around. "Baggsie" would have them put down!!!
