Linighan Return
The First team head off to Consett this week hoping that last week’s rest will have helped to get things back on track after two successive defeats. The Stags are having a better run of form and welcome Tynedale Raiders for a CaNDY One game while the Bucks head off to Billingham 3TM for a friendly. All 2.00 kick offs …

The Regional 2 North game at Amethyst Park will feature two closely matched sides with both clubs having played seven games with three victories and 18 league points each.

West will go into the game without fly-half Jobe Roxby who injured a knee in training this week. Matt Siddle makes his return to the 10 shirt with Matty Baggs at scrum half.

Both Will Hilditch and Chino Rocha are on their travels,  so Aidan Jackson-Smith will be looking to continue his run of Man of the Match awards from the back row,  with Lewis Scott fit again to take his place on the wing.

Up front Jake  Linighan makes a welcome  return to action after coming through the Stags win over Middlesbrough unscathed. The second row has only managed two first team games so far this season following his minor foot operation. He will pack down alongside leading try scorer Nick Bennions.

It’s powerful looking front row with Liam Pennick and Adam Hutchinson propping alongside Andrew Rollins.

There’s an attractive game at Brinkburn where the Stags look to continue their excellent run. Last week they overcame a strong Middlesbrough Wasps side by 51 points to 39. Some great running rugby from both sides - the winning margin would have been larger if the Stags had bneen able to convert more of their tries. Fortunately, Zac Southern is back this week.

Elliott Reed also makes a return from injury and he’ll be at No 8 alongside Louis Ward and Jay Anderson.

Imran  Mehdi is also making a return to action for the Bucks who are still putting their full squad together for the short trip to Billingham
