Match Preview

This week we see more changes to the squad as Aireborough travel to Wibsey.

Having yet to record a win so far this season, Aire will be keen to turn fortunes around against the Yorkshire 3 new boys.

Up front Rich Lister, Tim Baxter and Charlie Middleton are all unavailable due to social commitments however Lewis Eastwood continues at loose head and is partnered by regular hooker Harry Waugh. Martyn Booth makes his seasonal debut at tight head.

The row sees a continued partnership of Rich Holmes and Luke Exley.

The back row missing Jonny Mackey through injury and Chris Chapman who is awaiting the birth of his 1st child (good luck Jen) sees the impressive Will Girt at blindside, youthful Dan Marchbank at openside and this week's pack leader Adam 'the fridge' Jackson at number 8.

At half backs are this week's captain Stu Wilson at 9 and Jacob Waugh at 10.

Aire welcome back 2 key players into the midfield in Nick Holdsworth (12) and Harley Stevenson-Cocks (13) from holidaying and academia respectively.

On the edges Aire are without Kris Brook, Charlie Wilson and Jamie Sykes. Starting on the wings are Crusaders VC Marty Jones and Will Marchbank who comes back in having missed last week due to work commitments. The full back slot goes to the versatile Adam Bishop.

The bench sees 2 players set for their 1st XV debuts in Giovanni Guarino and Charlie Fall. Ed Brewer and Andy Plant complete the match day squad.

We look forward to this game and will hopefully see some of our supporters travel to Wibsey to cheers us on.

See you there,
