Certainly the West coaches will be looking for something to build on ahead of next week's important league trip to fellow strugglers West Park.

The issue at the moment is turning possession into points and the Cup gives everyone the chance to relax and play the patterns rehearsed in training.

Jonny Boatman and Peter Hodgson return, after being unvailable for last week's trip to Stockport, while Colin Cheslin is fit again and replaces brother Andrew who picked up a knock last week.

Luke Watson's experience is preferred at scrum half with John Greenwell continuing in the front row alongside Andrew Dixon and Anth Carr. Tim Sawyer limped off with a knee injury last week and is waiting for keyhole surgery to establish the extent of the problem.

The pressure is off Rovers after last week's big win against Durham City halted a series of diappointing results. They'll be keen to continue that form with a win against the old enemy.

Sadly Brett Cullinane will not be in the Rovers line up buit the Sheriff will be giving himself a run out at No 8 and James Masshedar will be at full back. There'll be a trio of Foremans and a powerful second row in the shape of Power and Thubron - so it looks like being an interesting encounter.

The Stags also have a big game with Blaydon IIs visiting in the cup. The influential Antony Cameron returns ,after an excellent display for the firsts last week, with Mark Cholmondeley stepping up from the Bucks to start in the front row.
