Heworth travel to Bradford tomorrow to take on West Bowling with the prospect of a fine and suspensions hanging over their heads.

The Villagers and Leigh East face a National Conference League disciplinary hearing on November 6 after their division one encounter last week was abandoned because of fighting.

Both clubs could be dealt heavy fines for their part in the brawl while six players who were sent off - three from each team - could be suspended and fined.

Heworth spokesman Ken Sykes said he was unaware any precedent had been set for a match being abandoned under such circumstances. However, he expects they will be fined for the brawl.

As the match was not abandoned until the 66th minute the result - a 22-15 win for Leigh East - stands, leaving Heworth five places off the bottom of division one.

They are only a couple of points behind West Bowling who were beaten 20-10 at Siddal last week.

Led by player-coach Glen Barraclough, the former Bradford hooker, they will be a tough nut to crack. Heworth coach Harold Box has no new injury worries so is likely to field a similar side to last week.

Simon Harrison (shoulder), Will Neary (knee), Nicky Wilson (back) and Jason Gatus (gashed leg) remain on the casualty list.

Injuries continue to deplete New Earswick All Blacks but at least they will have 17 players available for their home clash with Castleford Panthers.

They took just 15 to Blackbrook last week and performed above expectations, only to lose 18-15.

This week the 'A' team have no game so they will be able to call on the second string to stand in.

Half-back Mick Harrison (groin) and forward John Leach (broken fingers) both missed the Blackbrook game and face fitness tests. Mick Storey and Dan Wellard picked up ankle injuries but are expected to be fit. However, forward Paul Booth will be out for the season after having an operation on his knee to repair cruciate ligaments.

Good news for All Blacks is that coach Mick McTigue is staying with the club. Earlier in the season it was feared he would have to resign to take up a job in Lancashire but he has now secured employment in York.

York Acorn face a severe test of character when they travel to Milford Marlins, hoping to right the wrongs from last week's poor performance against Sheffield Hillsborough Hawks.

The 25-4 home defeat ended the Blue and Golds' four-match winning streak but they still hung onto fourth spot in the second division.

Several players face late fitness tests with the most likely omission being influential captain Lee Frank who is suffering from a troublesome back.

Others to have late fitness tests include Rich Warren (twisted ankle), centre/scrum-half Andy Lee (back) and loose forward Michael Embleton (shoulder).

An impressive performance for the 'A' team last week could see prop Leigh Marshall drafted into the first team pool.

This week's NCL have been switched to Sunday to accommodate the World Cup. Kick-offs have been brought forward to 2pm to coincide with the clocks going back.
