That also gives our lads the opportunity to take on the famous Ilkley pub run under the guise of an important team building exercise.
Chris Webb will be in charge alongside Antony Cameron with Jamie Connolly back at base celebrating Ollie's 21st birthday - congratulations Ollie.
Two players who won't be figuring at all this season are Adam Brown and Owen Westhorp. Browny has taken the opportunity to try his hand a higher level with Billingham, while Owen is at university in Newcastle and has joined Northern to cut down on his travelling. Good luck to both.
However, numbers at Brinkburn have been boosted by the return to action of powerful forwards Sam Miller and Jay Corbett. Both have recovered from long term injuries and have been regular trainers as has Alex Johnson on his return from Rovers.
The squad travelling to West Leeds is: Ryan Painter, Jake Linighan, Alex Barker, Jack Angus, Will Corbett, Matt Tyers, Ollie Webster, Liam Liston, Glynn Pickering, Chris Atkins, Ryan Godfrey, Matt Siddle, Zac Southern, Tim Blades, Andy Turner, Adam Hutchinson, Aidan Jackson-Smith, Jay Corbett, Jordan Painter, Cameron Allison.
