Wibsey's problem on Saturday is not just one of waterlogging or snow.They already know that their Yorkshire Division Five match at home to Marist won't be going ahead at Northfield Road as Bradford Council will not have their replacement posts ready until next week, the originals having blown down in the gales.And there is no certainty that Beldon Lane will be fit as by this lunchtime the hole in the pitch there had not been repaired.Wibsey are hoping to give debuts to 17-year-olds Dan Frost (wing) and Harry Hall (full back).Keighley's David Pullen and Will Armitage do a job swap' in their re-arranged Yorkshire Division One match at Scarborough.
Pullen, originally a flanker, switches from hooker, while Armitage, who has been filling in at flanker, reverts back to the middle of the front row.
Evan Griffin returns alongside him after a long lay-off with a ligament injury, while Sam Long comes in for the unavailable Michael Feather in the second row.
Bradford Salem's only chance of a trophy this term comes in the Yorkshire Shield, and they are optimistic of progress in the second round at home to Goole, who are a division lower. Jonny Robinson is at centre for the unavailable Steve McManus.
