York RI, who made light work of Thornensians, face a much tougher test this time out as they travel to Baildon in Yorkshire Three.

Six tries and power up front put Thornensians to the sword 50-5, but Baildon have lost only twice all season and are firmly in the promotion hunt.

Blind side Garrett Mallon and full back Tom Heslop will be missing, but RI hope to welcome back Nathan Ashman.

Nigel Lowery, club spokesman, said despite Baildon's lofty position there was no reason to think a second victory on the trot could not be achieved.

"We played extremely well against Thornensians," he said.

"Forwards and backs combined superbly. This will be a tougher challenge but there's no reason to think we can't win."

Selby need to bounce back from a dispiriting loss to Yarnbury by taking maximum points in a Yorkshire One match-up with Dinnington at Sandhill Lane.

There's little to choose between the two sides who both have four victories apiece this season. However, Selby have never lost to Dinnington in five encounters in league and cup.

Selby are forced into making five changes as flanker Duncan Phillips, no 8 Wright Phillips and scrum half Mathew Smith are all unavailable.

In the backs, Chris McDonald returns at full back and Mike Cawthorn, a utility three-quarter player, makes his debut at scrum half.

In the forwards, Mathew Mills returns to the second row in place of Mark Rollinson who drops to the second XV.

Jamie Pocklington starts at no 8 with Paul Randell recalled to the first XV at flanker.
