Otley were disappointed to see their home game with Moseley called off at the last minute on Saturday.

Otley coach Peter Clegg was keen to get the National Division One clash underway at Cross Green but the referee was not so sure.

Despite the frost coming out of the ground the thaw did not really come soon enough and the referee decided to call the game off an hour before kick-off with Moseley already at the ground.

Otley are hoping to be back in action on Saturday when they visit Manchester with a strong squad. Duncan Sayers, who would have missed last week's game due to the wedding of Ilkley captain Ben McDonald, is back in the side at hooker.

Ian Shuttleworth takes the full-back berth with Simon Smith and Mark Kirkby on the wings and Robert Whatmuff and Phil Greaves in the centre.

The half-back roles will be taken by Simon Binns and Andy Brown while the pack lines up with Adam Pogson, Duncan Sayers, David Hall, Ian Carroll, Paul Williams, Jon Burke, Phil Griffin and James Tiffany.

A big replacement bench will house the likes of Ronnie Kelly, Hapafila Liu, Andy Boyle, Nathan Bland, Peter Wright, J Davis and Ryan Duckett.

The Saracens also play Manchester but at Cross Green and their line-up just seems to look stronger by the week.

Their threequarters include Matt Walker and Will Darby on the wings and Mark Billington and Sam Gardner in the centre.

Veteran Steve Rice is in the pack which also includes young prospect Andrew Tindall.

The match at Cross Green will kick-off at 2.15 pm.
