Ilkley Preview

Ilkley Preview
The starting line up will be unchanged as we take on an Ilkley side which is unbeaten in the last two dozen game at Stack's Field. Snow and ice is forecast overnight and we'll know at 9.30 a.m.  if the game is on ...

Danny Quinn (pictured) is the only new face. He's played in most positions in the backs for the Stags this season and will be looking to make his first team debut from the bench.

Both Stu Waites and Sam Miller will again be missing as they continue to recover from their respective shoulder injuries. Skipper Danny Boatman will remain at No. 8 in young Sam's absence with Luke Mallinson continuing at full back.

Against a side with a realistic chance of at least a play off place the coaches will be looking for a more focused performance than last week's lack lustre win over Old Crocs.

Several players were making their first appeareance for some time in that game -  Owen Bennett is already asking to play for the Stags next week as he looks to het his match fitness back after recovering from a broken hand.

Ilkley come into the game off the back of a good win at Rochdale and, of course, they won the Brinkburn encounter 25-15 where we went down to 13 men for a time before staging a fightback.

We could have got something out of the game if we hadn't fluffed a penalty ten metres from the line to the extent that Ilkley were eventually awarded a clearing kick of their own.

West: Luke Mallinson, Callum Johnston, Scott Butcher, Peter Youll, Kyle Jamieson, Zac Southern, Ryan Painter, Ross Wood, Adam Rollins, Ian Pinchen, Joe Rafferty, Owen Bennett, Liam Bailey, Chris Atkins, Dan Boatman. Reps: Dan Quinn, Michael Hogan, Adam Coates.
