Pocklington Preview
There's a minimum of changes to the team which travels down the A19 to face Pocklington this week.

The players who ran in seven unanswered tries against Wheatley Hills are all available with the exception of Scott Butcher.

Fortunately, Stu Waites is fit again so he starts at full back with Luke Mallinson moving to the wing in place of Butch.

The squad will be further bolstered by the return of prop Ross Wood, who was unavailable last week, and he will be on the bench.

Sam Miller has started training again after his ankle injury, and he will also be in the Stags line up together with Zac Southern and Anth Carr. They travel to Blaydon while the Bucks host Horden IIIS’s in the County Cup.

The first team will have one of the more difficult games against a Pocklington side who are always strong at Feathers Field.

They have lost only once on their turf this season, and that was to high flying Doncaster Phoenix. Last week they lost 11-6 at Morpeth a week after we went down 22-6 at Mitford Road.

West: Stu Waites, Luke Mallinson, Greg Edwards, Peter Youll, Joe Willis, Gavin Painter, Ryan Painter, Michael Hogan, Andrew Rollins Adam Coates, Owen Bennett, Joe Rafferty, Chris Atkins, Aaron Myers, Dan Boatman (captain.)

 

Reps: Callum Johnston, Liam Bailey, Ross Wood.
