24-20 The former Canterbury, West, Worcester and L'Aquila centre will be joined by Ian Wilson and Antony Camero. They will be working with a first team squad which already features a number of the lads the trio have worked with in the West Academy.
They attended their first training session last night with one of their first tasks to help rearrange a back division to travel to Pocklington. One which will be without Peter Youll who has moved to Billingham this week.
Wit Stu Waites forced to do his coaching from the sidelines, after dislocation a shoulder against Driffield, there's a league start for Connolly Jnr at stand-off with Zac Siouthern taking on the 12 shirt.
Matt Siddle - one of the few players to stand-out against Rovers - has delayed his return to Essex and will be at full back.
Liam Bailey, who scored twice as we beat Pock in the first game of the season, is also back to add his experience and flair to the back line with the hard working Chrissy Atkins moving up to partner Jake Linighan in the second row.
On the bench centre James Pearson - known to all as "JP" - will make his first team debut and in doing so will become the 42nd player to have featured so far. He, of course, is also a member of the Newcaastle Falcons Junior Academy.
West: Matt Siddle, Lewis Scott, Will Hilditch, Zac Southern, Max Tennant, Ollie Connolly, Ryan Painter (captain), Liam Penningtobn, Andrew Rollins, Adsasm Coates, Jake Linighan, Chris Atkins, Ben Aermstrong, Liam Bailey, Adsam Brown.
Changes: James Borthwick, Aidan Jackson-Smith, James Pearson.
