Westoe Preview

Westoe Preview
The short trip up the A19 to take on Westoe marks the start of the second half of the season. Back in September we would probably have settled for third place at the turning point specially as we still have one of the youngest sides in the league ...

So far we have used 33 players and that could have become 34 this weekend if John  Painter had been called from building the new club bar to provide front row cover.

Michael Hogan is still injured but Adam Coates has declared himself fit so he will be on the bench instead of John.

Liam Bailey,  Chris Atkins and Joe Rafferty all return with Liam on the bench and Joe and Chris starting. Eldon Myers is back in town after his tour of duty with the Royal Navy, and he'll provide backs cover.

Westoe - officially now South Shields Westoe - are rebuilding after big changes  across the club which will culminate in a move to a new ground. They lost players after their relegation last season but have strengthened in recent weeks including bringing back some of their former players in James Walker and Tom King.

They currently lie second from bottom with two wins to their name. However, recent results have greatly improved including losing by just five points to a strong Pocklington team last time out.

West: Stu Waites, Scott Butcher, Greg Edwards, Peter Youll, Joe Willis, Gavin Painter, Ryan Painter, Jack Angus, Andrew Rollins, Ross Wood, Owen Bennett, Joe Rafferty,  Chris Atkins, Dan Boatman (captain), Sam Miller. Reps: Liam Bailey, Eldon Myers, Adam Coates.
