OTLEY, Cleckheaton and Bradford & Bingley are hoping to back up excellent home displays with away victories tomorrow.

The fifth-placed Cross Greeners, who defeated Hull Ionians 12-6 in SSE National League Two North, won 23-5 at home to Chester, and will therefore be seeking a double against their sixth-placed hosts.

OTLEY are unchanged but only hooker Ben Steele remains of the five on the bench as Harry Wales, Tom O'Donnell, Kristian Sharples and Declan Dunn are promoted.

The BEES are also trying to field the same starting XV for their North One East trip to Driffield, with player-coach Stuart Dixon set to step down from the bench in favour of fellow centre Richard Tafa, who has returned from Tonga.

"It wasn't so much the fact that I was pleased with the performance," said Dixon about the 47-0 triumph over Northern, "it was the fact that we didn't concede any points in the second half."

Driffield are seven points and three places lower than the confident Bees but the latter haven't won any of their eight away matches this season, although they have drawn two.

CLECKHEATON will be keeping an eye on the weather ahead of their National League Three North visit to Rossendale in south Lancashire.

"We want to play as we want to keep our momentum going," said Cleckheaton president Alan Bentley on the back of their 20-17 home victory over second-placed Sale.

The visitors recall Matt Piper in the centre, his physicality winning the verdict over the skilful but slighter Cameron Burnhill, while Lee Queeley reverts to the wing.

Bentley added: "We are hoping to get anything from 40 to 60 minutes from Carl Mason in the second row before bringing on a fresh par of legs in Alex Dawson."

Yorkshire Division Two leaders BRADFORD SALEM are without both Rhys Green and Jamie Booth at Moortown, while prop Simon Davies also rests his bruised ribs.

Joe Fawcett takes over at No 8, with Marc Gibbons reverting to hooker and Ali Veitch switching to flanker. John Bradbury makes a timely return to the front row after calf trouble to replace Davies.

OLD GROVIANS' director of rugby Martin Whitcombe is worried that their walkover last Saturday against Hemsworth might give visitors Northallerton an advantage against the Yorkshire Division Three leaders. However, the home side are at strength.

BAILDON could do the Apperley Bridge side a favour by defeating second-placed Castleford at Jenny Lane.
