Sawyer in the front row
Captain Tim
Skipper Tim Sawyer will be at hooker as we take on Bridlington on what promises to be a wild and wet afternoon. Tim played half a game in his old position last week as we prepared for the loss of Carlo Robinson who is working. One other change is a run out for Dash at 15 with Toddy on the bench.

But he may yet be at scrum half with a doubt over Phil Wallis who is unwell.

Stu Bennett will start in the back row, alongside Messrs Rudd and Tones, as the management have the rare luxury of being able to rotate players and keep them all keen and eager.

Brid have a strong pack and a decent home record despatching Redcar last weekend. The previous game they travelled to Middlesbrough and conceded 30 points.

The weather could be a big factor. Heavy rain tonight will be followed by more of the same tomorrow with strong winds. Could be down to the side which makes the fewest mistakes wins.

There are still a couple fo doubts because of illness but thsi is the squad: West Thomas, Black, Hodgson, Milne, Hare, Wallis, Tighe,Carr, Sawyer [capt], Cullinane, Miller, Davies, Rudd, Tones, Bennett, Geritz, Todd, Gilbraith.
