The return of 'Bev' Bevan and Hugh Kane to the front row tomorrow means that York first team are at full strength for the first time this season.

York must beat Clifton Park visitors West Park Bramhope if they are to begin to climb away from the threat of relegation.

Mark Roberts is retained at full back to allow Doyle, a try scorer against Malton and Norton last Saturday, to continue in the centre alongside Nick Pawson.

Jim Hawcutt comes into the back row after an impressive performance in the second team following his return from Australia.

Mark Randerson, Rob Allen and second-row forward Andy Wyatt, a newcomer, are named as substitutes.

Harrogate have recruited Rotherham's giant lock Dan Cook on loan. Former Yorkshire Under-21 player Cook has had first team experience with Rotherham, who have not been turning out a second team because of cost-cutting.

Cook, who stands 6ft 8in, has his roots in the East Riding, having played for Hull Ionians before moving to Otley and then on to Clifton Lane.

Despite last Saturday breaking their 11-match run without a win, Harrogate coach Simon Croft has no illusions about his side's tough task when they travel to sixth-placed Rosslyn Park in Jewsons National League One tomorrow (2.30pm).

Former Driffield hooker Richard Whyley is in France this weekend, so Ian Salkeld, who moved to Harrogate from Leeds last summer, is named as Whyley's deputy in the front row.

With Dave Wheat a father in waiting this weekend, Lee Woodhouse is named as deputy in the back row.

Kerry Morley, who went on for the last quarter of the game against Birmingham and Solihull last Saturday, retains his place on the wing. Alasdair McClarron is on the replacement's bench.

Pocklington retain the same squad that beat Wheatley Hills 21-7 in the league two weeks ago for tomorrow's trip to Roundhegians.Selby, who have opened a four-point lead over Hartlepool TDSOB at the top of North East Three, travel to third-placed Westoe tomorrow. The sides drew 16-16 when Westoe visited Sandhill Lane last October.

Selby make two changes up front, with Paul Gabel deputising for Sam Longthorpe, who damaged a shoulder last Saturday, and Steve Cruise is at hooker for Paul North.

John Webster is out with a groin strain so Andy Bennett moves to inside centre.

Malton and Norton are unchanged as they return to Yorkshire One action tomorrow at Huddersfield YMCA with renewed heart after their performance in the non-league game against York last Saturday.

YMCA lost their two-year unbeaten record to Bramley Phoenix two weeks ago.

Tetley's Bitter Vase quarter-finalists Scarborough travel to Dinnington to defend their unbeaten record in Yorkshire Two, although if the result of Scarborough's previous game against Dinnington is to be taken as a fair guide, they should have no problems against a side that they beat 39-0 last October.

Ken Proctor is rested this week as Doug Williamson continues his rehabilitation from injury, the Scarborough squad including Tom Fish and Mike Snell on the subs' bench.

Nestl Rowntree should find seventh-placed Hornsea more of a match at Mille Crux tomorrow after two hard games against the league leaders Old Rishworthians.

Neil Pearson is named at back row as former Harrogate skipper, Steve Fawcett attends a wedding.

After being unavailable last week, Oliver Turner takes over from Matt Forman at centre and Helperby farmer Jeff Sowray, back from taking part in last weekend's 'pig protest' in London, takes over at hooker from Ship Inn Marauder Phil Bainbridge.

York Under-Sevens won both their games against Ilkley. Thomas Brown and Oliver Palmer scored hat-tricks and Charlie Nicholson and Jack Maud a try each as York won the first match eight tries to five.

York scored a five tries to two victory in the second match despite fielding a less experienced side.
