Injury-hit Wharfedale face their biggest tests of the season when they take on SSE National League One leaders Rosslyn Park at The Avenue on Saturday.

After narrowly losing the first match at pre-season favourites Ealing Trailfinders, Rosslyn Park’s only slip-up to date has been a draw at Cinderford.

Nine successive victories have taken them to the top of the table.

The famous London club recruited well in the close season and are now reaping the benefits, with some fine wins against the league’s fancied sides.

Wharfedale’s selection reflects the growing list of injuries, but is subject to late fitness tests on a couple of players.

Wharfedale (home to Rosslyn Park): C Georgiou; L Davies, A Hodgson, M Clark, N Taylor; L Gray, J Gough; J Altham, S Graham, A Howard, R Brown, R Rhodes, J Tyson, A Allen, D Solomi. Replacements: A Mason, T McGee, D Barrow, W Bell, J Donkin.
