Wetherby travel to Leodiensian's this weekend, hoping to get back to winning ways after a lucklaster display against Goole last time out.

The Red's will play Leo's twice in the next two weeks, once in the league and then in the Yorkshire Silver Trophy back at Grange Park.

One of Wetherby's players of the season so far, Stephen Hoather, is unavialable due to a holiday. The Red's are fortunately without the services of Jack Kaye who was implanted in one of the advertising boards last weekend after being put into touch by his opposite number for the 12th time this season. Jonny Day is rested so Chris Atkinson will continue at scrum half, Scott Wallis returns to the starting line up for the injured Paul Minns.

Captain Danny Warden returns to the starting line up after shaking off an illness that kept him out of last weekends game, but not the night out, and Sean Lally returns to the bench after a devastating eye injury made him call off hours before the match.

Wetherby have the upper hand against Leo's in the recent head to head after picking up two wins last season. The red's will not be expecting an easy game however after they have struggled at the beginning of this season.

The team from Alwoodly have picked up losing bonus points against promotion hunting Pontefract and drawn with West Park, whilst also running Crossleyans and Grovians close in their opening five games.

Kick off is at Crag Lane is at 3:00pm.

Wetherby from:

R Adair, C Atkinson, M Bartle, T Bottomley. G Bulmer, M Chappell, H Freeman, G Gilbert, H Kaye, R Lacey, S Lally, B Mason, M Oates, G Plant, R Thomson, A Trotman, S Wallis, D Warden (c)
