Bradford and Bingley are one of the form sides in the league - having lost just once in the last seven - and are looking forward to a home clash with Rossendale in a couple of weeks time to make their bid for glory.

The Lancashire side currently have two games in hand and no doubt Chester, who visit Brinkburn next week, will have a say.

We face the prospect of no less than six home games in the last third of the season but would very much like to pick up more away points to reach the goal of at least a top six finish.

In the last two away games we could have won at Rossendale, and should have won at Lymm spurning several penalty chances in the final minutes.

Kicker Stu Waites  was injured in the first half at Lymm but returns at fly half at the Bingley. Gareth Foreman has a swollen knee while brother Andrew has family commitments so the half back pairing will be Stu and the talented Ryan Painter. Colin Cheslin takes over the full back shirt once again.

Tom Dixon is still recovering from his recent op but is  back in training. Big Ben Lloyd steps in alongside Chocky who received two yellow cards in the victory over the Bees at Brinkburn.

Michael Taylor is back at No 8 alongside the Brothers Boatman and Anth Carr is free of work duties to resume in the front row alongside Bailey and Coates.

West: C Cheslin, Edwards, A Cheslin, Watson, Butcher, Waites, Painter, Car, Bailey, Coates, Lloyd, Davies, D Boatman [capt], J Boatman, Taylor. Reps: Wood, Hogan, Moss.
