Wetherby travel to Roundhegians this weekend, hoping to finally beat their North Leeds rivals.

Twice the Red's lose against Roundhegians last year, in games that, they feel they should have won. However, mistakes and lack of discipline cost them the games that they lost 16-14 and 24-15.

Roundhegians, like Wetherby, lost their opening fixture of the season last weekend as they fell 38-15 down to Old Crossleyens. Both teams will be looking to kick start their season with a victory this week.

Wetherby are still missing a couple of players, but welcome back Alex Dus to the first team after getting 80 minutes under his belt last week in the Crusaders. Alex kicked three out of three conversions as the Crusaders lost against Nestle Rowntree. Graham Bulmer also makes his return to competitive action after missing out the majority of last year with an injury.

The Red's will hand a debut to 17-year-old Rhys Thomson who has impressed throughout the preseason.

Kick off at the Memorial Ground is at 3:00 pm.

Wetherby from:

C Atkinson, M Bartle, T Bottomley, G Bulmer, M Chappell, J Day, A Dus, AJ Hills, S Hoather, H Kaye, J Kaye, B Mason, P Minns, M Oates, T Spence, R Thomson, S Wallis, D Warden (c).
