We have two games to get those points although there's no doubt that even a 3-0 victory against Cleckheaton in our last home game [kick off 3.00] would be just the ticket.
Brother Dan leads the team against one of the form sides in the division. Adam Larkin returns on the wing, after recovering from tonsilitis, with new goalkicker Stuart Waites dropping into the full back berth. Darren Thomas is on the bench alongside Peter Hodgson and Carl Miller.
Otherwise it is the same team which should have been well in front by half time at Wheatley Hills last week. In the end we came back strongly to score three tries in the last quarter and set up a great finale to the season.
Cleck arrive on the back of four good wins in the league plus a hard fought Yorkshire cup game at Hull RUFC on Wednesday. The visitors were apparently the stronger side in normal time which ended 20-20. However, former West second row Chris Murphy came on to stabilise things for the home side who then scored a couple of tries in the gathering gloom. They eventually ran out 40-20 winners.
Cleck have nothing left to play for but have already beaten our arch rivals Percy Park twice, and will want to avenge the defeat at their place on the first day of the season.
Whatever happens it promises to be a colourful day. Darren Thomas has arranged for nine bricklaying students from Lille in France, who are guests of the College of FE, to come along - they were offered a football game but prefer rugby.
It's also the annual Points West bunfight before the game and our friends in the Cleckheaton Committee always provide their own entertainment thanks to their rather obvious blazers.
The Bucks will be returning from their Cup Final at the Friarage - so let's hope both teams will have something tio celebrate come Saturday night.
