Aireborough travel to Skipton this weekend in which is always a highly contested fixture.

With both sides in need of a lift in form, this could be a tense afternoon at Sandylands.

Aire go into the game having only won 1 of their league fixtures so far however as injuries ease and availability gets better, they hope that their fortunes will take an upturn.

The pack see the return of Jonny Hiles into the boiler room (from the wing) to partner young Freddie Armstrong, in the back row, Phil Shopland-Reed comes into the starting line up at openside with Jonny Mackey moving to 6 and pack leader Chris Chapman in at 8.

In the backs, the half backs remain the same. Lewis Myers and Joe White will continue their midfield partnership after 10 minutes together against Thorne (we wish the Thorne winger all the best in his recovery). Jamie Sykes moves back out to the left wing with Kris Brook and Harley Stevenson-Cocks completing the back 3.

As always, support is always appreciated, and with the added bonus of both the 1st XV and Crusaders playing at Skipton, you will get to see a whole host of Aire players on the day. We will also enjoy a beer or 2 in the club afterwards.
