NORTH Ribblesdale make a welcome return to Grove Park tomorrow when they entertain a Pocklington side desperate for points at the foot of Yorkshire One.

The season has not started well for the East Yorkshire club, who, despite the luxury of having played four home games, have only a single win over Beverley to their credit.

Of course the Grove Park men's season has not been all that successful to date, but in contrast to tomorrow's visitors, they have played four away games and only two at home.

The Dalesmen can also point to some decent form of late.

However, Ribblesdale will not need reminding that Pocklington completed the double over them last year and if the Settle men are to make anything of this season's campaign, they must take points from this clash.

The only change behind the scrum will be the return of John Walker for the unavailable Ian Cowperthwaite, while in the pack, Russell Howarth has work commitments and hands over to Michael Carr.

Settle (home to Pocklington): G Evans; S Devoy, R Ridgway, S Evans, J Hughes; J Walker, N Gemmell; J Thwaite, M Throup, S Heal, D Stacey, L Brown, W Garth, S Boatwright, M Carr. Replacements: A Bradley, P Pawson, S Kennedy.
