NORTH Ribb are the only senior side in league rugby action this weekend and they face a tough tie at home to promotion-chasing Old Brodleians.

But, boosted by their good win at the weekend, they could start their march up the table as they clear a backlog of matches postponed by the winter's downpours.

Jonathan Richards comes in at centre, John Walker switches to the wing to rest young Stephen Cowperthwaite, who surely has many games ahead of him.

With McGeoch carrying a knock, he steps down to the bench and Shaun Kennedy gets the starting stand off spot. Kelly is suspended so Steven Heal steps up for duty on the bench.

Wharfedale's first teamers have a day off but Skipton have a pool match away to an Otley XV with the early kick off of 1pm. They have brought 16-year-old three quarter James Hutchinson into the squad after some rave reviews in the second team.

He cannot play league rugby until he is 18 but Skipton want to give him an early taste of first team duty.
