Dinnington Preview

Dinnington Preview
Christmas frolics get in the way of team selection this week with all three West sides having to juggle because of various "unavailabilities."

Michael Hogan and Adam Coates are both injured so Jack Angus (pictured) starts at Dinnington after his try scoring heroics last week, with Anth Carr providing cover on the bench.

Owen Bennett returns from his own trip to see  Mickey Mouse last week, which is fortunate as Chris Atkins and Joe Rafferty both have social commitments. The latter part of a select back row and second row outing to Manchester - doubtless they're all going Xmas shopping.

John Bunter steps up from the bench to partner Owen after some impressive displays in the Stags. Liam Bailey is also away with Tom Shaw coming into to replace him

The backs are unchanged from last week but Rob Thorn returns to first team action. He'll be on the bench together with up and coming scrum half Matty Crowe.

They will take on a Dinnington side which is traditionally strong on their sloping pitch but which hasn't won in the last five games. As a result they've slipped to 8th in the league.

A win would provide us with the opportunity to close the gap on one of the two leaders. Morley travel to Doncaster Phoneix where their unbeaten record will come under serious threat.

Of course, Yorkshire never used to be  a happy hunting ground for us but so far this season wet have won three and lost only once - at Morley

West: Stu Waites, Scott Butcher, Greg Edwards, Peter Youll, Joe Willis, Gavin Painter, Ryan Painter, Jack Angus, Andrew Rollins, Ross Wood,  Owen Bennet, John Bunter, Tom Shaw, Dan Boatman (captain), Sam Miller. Reps: Matty Crowe, Anth Carr, Rob Thorn.
