Bees hope to continue good run at Lymm

5:20pm Thursday 7th March 2013 in Sport By Bill Marshall, T&A Sports Reporter

Bradford & Bingley are at Lymm on Saturday, where they have a good record in SSE National League Three North but they must cope without full back Steve Brimacombe and Matt Robinson, who has dislocated a hip and fractured a femur skiing.

The Bees are 12 points above the third and highest relegation place, and first-team manager Benji Pickin says: "Birkenhead Park's defeat at Kendal was a massive result for us, and Park still have to come to us and play Harrogate." 

Keighley may still be without long-term casualties Danny McGee, Lucas Uren and Ian Buckley but have a stronger than normal side out at Malton & Norton in SSE North One East, including prop Paul Sinfield. 

Play-off chasing Cleckheaton are giving Ben Thrower a start at home to Durham City.

The hooker was awarded his first-team tie last weekend for 20 appearances but Cleckheaton also hope that No 8 Richard Piper can add to his 22 tries so far this season.

Craig Blackburn replaces Lee Queeley in the centtre as the latter is needed by the RAF for their Tetley's Challenge Cup rugby league tie against East Leeds at RAF Cranwell. Jarrod Toulson is promoted to the bench.

Bradford Salem are without prop Simon Davies (fractured ribs), so Jordan Ashworth gets a start in ther front row in SSE Yorkshire Division Two at Leodiensian.

Keighley (at Malton & Norton) from: H Titley; S Walker, B Blackwell, M Ferrazzano, A Sutcliffe, A Horsfall; A Brown, L McGee; C Spencer, W Armi-tage, P Sinfield, C Morris, R Clarke, D Iliff, A Wali-gura, S Inman, S Dyson, L Sugden, S Minikin, J Hannah.

Bradford Salem (at Leodiensian): D Belcher; D Thomas, S Gardner, T Williams, S Savage; A Robinson, I Woodwiss; J Ashworth, S Markey, J Bradbury, J Morrell, J Cunliffe, R Green, D Pearson, D Hutton. Replacements: D Luxton, C Walker, A N Other.
