Skipton have the perfect opportunity to put more daylight between themselves and the relegation zone at Sandylands on Saturday.

The visitors are Baildon, four points behind them, and while Skipton at this stage are not in serious danger, they could be sucked into the equation if they are not careful. Stretching that gap to six points will allow them to breathe a lot easier.

The Reds were narrowly beaten in the return fixture and so revenge is another spur towards victory.

Skipton have lost full back Chris Wilkinson, who requires an operation on his elbow and Sean Kennedy deputises and there is a full debut for Richard Curtin, a recruit from rugby league who has had experience with Keighley Cougars. An impressive display in the 'A' team has earned him a call. Adam Oldfield is tried at scrum half.

Despite the narrow defeat at Dinnington a couple of weeks ago, North Ribb are still very much in the promotion race in Yorkshire Two and they can advance their prospects when they entertain second-placed West Park Leeds on Saturday.

Skipton: S Kennedy, R Dillon, R Curtin, D Howsen, M Beech; A Naylor, A Oldfield; N Fitzsimmonds, C Sheehan, P Jenkinson, R Hill, M Wilshire, A Murphy, M Boatwright, S Boatwright. Reps: A Webb, M Wilson, C Wibberley.
