As a result there are some changes to the side from the one which would have stepped out at Alnwick last week, but, fortunately, the likes of Ian Pinchen have been able to change their plans. Wing Commander Coates has also changed a flying lesson in an effort to guarantee further stash sponsorship for next season, while property magnate Michael Hogan has changed an important business meeting.
Skipper Danny Boatman is still out with his damaged shoulder so Alex Barker [pictured] comes into the back row with Andy Robson partnering Hogie in the second row. In the backs Kyle Jamieson comes in on the wing for the weekending Scott Butcher.
Joe Myers is back in the first team squad and will be on the bench alongside the experienced Andrew Dixon and Davy Tighe.
West: Luke Mallinson, Kyle Jamieson, Andrew Cheslin, Liam Bailey, Peter Youll, Stu Waites, Ryan Painter, Ian Pinchen, Andrew Rollins, Adam Coates, Michael Hogan, Andy Robson, Alex Barker, Jon Boatman [captain], Sam Miller.
Changes: Davy Tighe, Joe Myers, Andrew Dixon.
