Otley’s director of rugby Tom Rock has been happy with their performances since the new year.
But he is conscious that it is time for his second-from-bottom SSE National League Two North side to turn those improved showings into results, starting with Saturday's visit to Kendal.
He said: “We know we have a vital couple of weeks coming up.
“We will be without Howard Parr for a fortnight as he has duties at Buckingham Palace but we should have one or two of the Leeds lads available that have Otley backgrounds, which will be a big help.”
