THE unholy trinity at York RUFC are tasked with guiding a Clifton Park revival against Dinnington.

Coach Ken Higgins’ strongest back row of Andy Kay, Stu Davies and skipper Jon Sharpe have not appeared on the pitch at the same time at any point during an injury cluttered Yorkshire One season.

But they all start tomorrow as York try to get their sagging campaign back on track.

Victory against Yarnbury last month has been the only two points secured by York since mid-November and it is a slide which has rocked them to eighth in the table after last weekend’s loss to Heath.

Darren Rutherford takes over in the front row in place of Simon Humphries and Ben Johnson is at scrum-half with Matt Hargreaves dropping to the replacements.

On the wing, Billy Cakaunitabua resumes for Dave Routledge and Kay’s return is at the expense of Rich Roberts.

Selby, who entertain Bradford Salem at Sandhill Lane, keep most of the squad who almost erased any lingering fears of relegation when beating Skipton.

Eighteen-year-old county player Alex Webster will make his debut in the centre in place of the unavailable Nathan Spencer. Alex Arthur starts the game and in-form Ben Lunt rotates to the bench to ease a niggling injury.

The pack remains unchanged with evergreen prop Ian Copperwheat on the bench in the continued absence of Andrew Pocklington. Sam Weller remains on the bench as a step to full fitness after long-term injury.

There is life in Malton and Norton yet.

Attacking from the outset, they put in their best performance of the season to beat Dinnington 20-14 and narrow the gap on third bottom Skipton to just four points.

Keighley, in fifth place, are likely to pose a much sterner test tomorrow at The Gannock.

Pocklington travel to Leeds to meet Leodiensian in Yorkshire Two. They are without young back five forward Karl Durkin who sprung a shoulder at Ripon, but his absence paves the way for Scott Littlefair to come in for the first time this season.

Pocklington had a comfortable 36-3 victory over Leos at Percy Road back in October, but the Leeds side are notoriously tougher to crack at home and have dominated Pocklington at the Crag Lane ground in recent years.

York Railway Institute’s Yorkshire Four title challenge is in danger of coming apart at the seams.

They went down 27-20 to Leeds Medics and Dentists and, although they still top the table, their slender lead over Rotherham Phoenix has dwindled to a single point – having played two games more.

Harrogate Pythons, three adrift, have three games in hand on RI.

An Adrian Horwell try after ten minutes gave RI the perfect start but Medics hit back strongly to take a 17-5 lead.

Tim Nash and Robert Collins led the fight-back with tries to level the scores at 17-17 and the two sides exchanged penalties but Leeds took the points with a try at the death.

The New Laners try to pick up the pieces when they entertain Burley tomorrow.
