We won the first encounter on the opening day of the season 29-14. According to the Driffield website both sides looked like relegation candidates - but both have gone on to achieve top half comfort.

That is despite both teams being hit by injuries and absences. Driff blame their poor string of results on a long injury list after looking like slugging it out with Tigers for second spot.At the same time we have crept up on the rails, despite fielding the youngest ever West league side, and missing players of the calibre of Darren Thomas, Tim Sawyer, Chocky Davies, Brett Cullinane, Peter Hodgson and Henry Tones - all with national league experience.

The bonus is that the likes of Aaron Myers, Gavin Painter, Jon Norris and Tom Dixon have gained valuable league experience which will stand them in good stead for years to come.

They will all figure in teh side which travels to Driffield - a place where we have not distinguished ourselves, had the best of luck with injuries, or players being able to find the ground. This time we're taking no chances and going by charabanc [Toddy we meet at the club at 11.00}.

There's a couple of injury concerns so the coaches name a squad which includes former Colts scrum half Tom Dougherty, who has been knocking on the door for a few weeks, and the enigmatic Colin Cheslin.

Aaron Myers returns to the back row with Danny Boatman stepping down to the bench.

West squad: Andrew Hare, Martin Todd, Greg Edwards, Neil Howe, Gavin Painter, Paul Moss, Davy Tighe [capt], Anth Carr, Andy Dixon, Jon Norris, Tom Dixon, Paul Rudd, Carl Miller, Aaron Myers, Jon Boatman, Colin Cheslin, Tom Dougherty, Carl Robinson, Dan Boatman, James Masshedar.
