HOLDERS Wharfedale will be sending out their second string when they start their defence of the Yorkshire Cup on Saturday.

With opponents Morley having a National Three North fixture, it has been agreed that the tie will be a second team encounter.

The selectors are due to meet tonight to decide the composition of the Foresters side that will make the trip to Scatcherd Lane, but they will not pick any first teamers.

Coach Jon Feeley said: “Andy Hodgson has done a great job bringing a lot of players up from the colts to play in the Foresters this year and I know they will do a good job for the club.

“Playing the fixture as a second team game means that we can finally get this quarter-final out of the way because time is running out and we want to try and win the cup again.”
