QUEENSBURY will give exciting junior product Jack McMillan his home debut when they welcome Slaithwaite Saracens this weekend.

The 16-year-old three-quarter posted a try in a fine display against the odds as Bury served up their worst performance of the season at Selby last week.

Bury, who must get back to winning ways immediately if they are to remain in the hunt for the Pennine League Division Four title, also have another rousing local youngster coming to the fore in hooker Joel Charlton.

Italian International Angelo Ricci and centre Callum Murgatroyd, two of the mainstays, are back in top form after long lay-offs which should ensure business as usual on home soil.

Wyke’s woes increased following last week’s 60-point cup defeat at Brighouse with the announcement that head coach Warren Pitman is to stand down at the end of the season.

The former prop feels all his good work has been thwarted by a lack of numbers attending training sessions, which has led to a slide down the Division One table.

The black and whites have a chance to restore their flagging reputation and put a smile back on their coach's face when James Wain and Jonny Waddington return to the squad that travels to title favourites Ovenden.

Division One outfit Victoria Rangers, who are back to full strength, should have too much fire power for Division Two visitors Woodhouse Warriors in the opening round of the Andrew Bennett Trophy.

Clayton will be confident that home advantage will be telling when they welcome fellow Division Two colleagues Wakefield City.

Wyke A have a number of walking wounded and will select a team on the day to face visitors Silsden in the first round of the Pennine Supplementary Cup.

Brighouse Rangers' rise up the pecking order following the Toronto Wolfpack's decision to set up their training base at Russell Way is enhanced with a visit from Kingstone Press League One side Hemel Stags.

The Stags' request for a pre-season game gives the Rangers an opportunity to show off their new, exciting brand of amateur rugby on the big stage against professional opposition.

Utility back Richie McGlade misses out through work commitments, but the good news for Rangers fans is that their brilliant prop Ben Waud will make the 2pm kick-off despite a slight knock.
