Scott Butcher will be in the back row at Brinkburn alongside Chris Atkins and Alex Barker - the latter recovering from his epic fundraising trek in the Lakes last week.
Adam Brown also successfully navigated the Great North Run last weekend and starts in the front row alongside Adam Coates, who is also back after missing last week, and Aidan Jackson-Smith who did play last week and was on excellent form.
Ollie Connolly also return to the backs with Liam Rutherford coming into the centre to allow Will Hilditch to return to the wing.
Stu Waites makes a very welcome return to action with the Stags who will also see Kyle Jamieson return to action after a long lay-off.
Aspatria arrive for their first away game after volunteering to move across to Durham and Northumberland One. They scored eight tries against fellow new boys Sunderland in the first game but went down 24-12 to the much fancied Percy Park last week.
