The Priorymen have have had a tremendous last few seasons having built up a big and effective pack and a slick back division. As a result they did go unbeaten at home in three years.
That was until Percy Park spoilt the party on the opening day by sneaking a win right at the end of the game.
Guizzy responded by following our tracks down to Beverley where they put 60 points on the struggling Beavers. We were over the line often enough to have done the same the previous week, but we are quite content with having won both our games scoring 12 tries and conceding none.
Both of our wins were against sides who expect to struggle this season so the trip along the Whitby road will be a much better indication of what we can expect.
Scott Butcher (pictured) and Eldon Myers return to the backs, with a svelte looking Michael Hogan returning on the bench where he will provide front row cover with Jack Angus starting for the unavailable Ross Wood.
The versatile Zac Southern will cover the backs, while Alex Barker replaces Aaron Myers who once again has work commitments.
The most pleasing aspect of the season so far is that we have been able to score tries right across with Liam Bailey leading the way with three. Against Guisborough it is likely to be a much tighter affair with the forward battle the key.
