COACH Mick Ramsden is hoping to keep a winning side when his York City Knights reserves team host Whitehaven at Huntington Stadium tomorrow (2.30pm).

Ramsden’s young charges thrashed Keighley 58-8 on Thursday night and the same 17 will be on view for the next Reserve Championship clash tomorrow – assuming all are fit.

Dan Wilson, Ben Dent, Davey Burns and Joe Hemmings, the biggest doubt, all picked up dead legs and Dennis Tuffour tweaked a hamstring.

Ramsden said: “Whitehaven beat us quite heavily at their place but we’re much stronger now and I’m expecting a win. We need to cut out the mistakes, though. We won by quite a lot on Thursday but we made some errors and we won’t get away with them tomorrow.”

Tries on Thursday came from hooker Kris Brining, scrum-half Paul Stamp (2), Burns, who was playing in the second row, fellow back-rower Ed Smith (2), his second being a long-range effort, winger Tuffour, centre Dent, winger Tom Lineham, after a fine break by Burns, and loose-forward Hemmings, with the try of the match set up by man-of-the-match Stamp, who added nine of ten conversions.

Knights reserves: from Wilson, Tuffour, Hyde, Dent, Lineham, Woods, Stamp, Howard, Brining, Mitchell, Smith, Rice, Hemmings, Mole, Gray, Mortimer, Burns, An Other.
