Strength in Depth
Saturday's team to take on Driffield at Kellythorpe could well be the strongest so far this season. Paul Rudd is available after his starring return against Sandal and Allan Milne may also make his long awaited return. For a change it's our opposition who have selection problems.

Like us Driffield have a young side but three of those fly half Karl Birch, scrum half Tom Foster and full back Tiff Hughes have a North of England U 18 squad training weekend. Experienced forwards Richard Mitchell-Williams [hooker] and Oliver Borman[lock] are unavailable due to work commitments.

For us Carl Miller should have recovered from a knock last week and the coaches have the same squad to choose from with the addition of "Garse" and, hopefully, Milne.

Driffield squad: R. Rowntree, R. Shepherdson, S. Havler, C. Yates, I. Carroll, L. Notley, K. Wood, Chapman, R. Jones, C. Rook, T. Wright, T. Plumridge, C. McClarron, R. Kitching, A. McClarron, N. Piercey, G. Stephenson
