Twickenham beckons for Keighley Rugby Union Club as they take on Darlington in the fourth round of the NPI Cup at Utley tomorrow (Saturday).

They beat Newcastle side North Shields 36-3 in the last round and go into the match full of confidence following last week's narrow league victory over Old Brodleians.

Darlington are a division below them in the Thwaites League pecking order, but the Keighlians know they will face a tough test.

"Darlington are an ambitious club and have been recruiting heavily to strengthen their squad. They are unbeaten in NE Division 2 this season and we will have to be on top form," said a club spokesman.

Robert Riley comes into the Keighley side at Prop for Neil Marklew who is unavailable and Simon Atkins moves from the back row to the second row, making way for Michael Feather. Peter Southgate moves from the second row to the bench.

"It will certainly be a tough game and we hope to see a big crowd to give the team all the support they can," he said.

The match kicks off at 2.15.

n Keighley face one of the toughest ties of the Yorkshire Cup second round -- if they beat Driffield in the opening round of the competition.

They will face a home tie against either Huddersfield YMCA, where former Cougar coach Phil Larder cut his Rugby Union, or Wharfedale.
