Wins against Darlington and Cleckheaton will set us up comfortably in the league and give us a boost for the big cup battle at Hartpury College on February 28th.
Unfortunately, Thursday's training session was a victim of the weather but Tuesday's was one of the best for some time - according to the Cheslins and Dan Boatman. The coaches have named a squad to travel which will be without skipper Anth Carr, who is working, but will include the Robinsons. Iain has recovered from a groin strain while Carlo has been able to begin training again after his own work commitments - his presence will be a major bonus in the coming weeks.
Darlington will have their own influential prop available. Skipper Jo Oselton is expected to be fit to lead a team which sees all three Richardson brothers available.
West Squad - Meet club 12.00 [or at Darlington 12.45]: Coates, C Robinson, Sawyer, A Dixon, Stewart, I Robinson, T Dixon, D Boatman, Myers, Vinnicombe, Williamson, Moss, A Cheslin, Connolly, Hodgson, Kerr, C Cheslin, I Dixon.
