Congrats to Chocky and Lindz
Bridegroom
Chocky Davies marries Lindsay on Friday and, perhaps understandably, will miss the big game at Redcar on Saturday. Paul Rudd will also be missing from the second row after being unable to train because of the finger he dislocated last week so both Carl Miller and Phil Henderson are standing by.

Both Carl and Phil have been playing well this season but it has to be said that Garse and Chocky both returned to their peak form last week after some indifferent displays in recent weeks.

Garse's running was a major feature of the game, and his try after just two minutes set the tone of the first half.

Anth Carr is the other major doubt, having bust his nose in the disagreement which saw him and his opposite hooker sin-binned. Both Peter Hodgson and Martin Todd went to hospital for stitches after the win over Malton and Norton, although only Toddy required the needle. Both should be fit and the back line, which looked more balanced with Hauxwell having a promising debut at fly half, should be unchanged.

Redcar make three changes to the team that lost to Sandal last week. In the forwards, Glen Teeley comes in at open side, Ritchie Barker moves to No8 and Graeme Evans switches to blind side. Captain Neil Cook moves back to second row with Mark Poulsen on the bench. In the backs, Liam Turner is preferred at fly half, and Mathew Storey returns to the wing allowing Greg Unthank to revert outside centre. Steve Bryce moves to the bench.
