BRADFORD Salem first-team manager Neil Klenk admits his side are in buoyant mood ahead of Saturday's Yorkshire Division One home clash with Heath (2.15pm kick-off).

Salem reduced Selby to absolute rubble last weekend in a resounding 67-0 away victory and now go in search of a third straight win.

Klenk said: "Selby had never been a happy hunting ground for Salem, so it was surprisingly comfortable win for us.

"It was actually a sorry sight to see Selby capitulate the way they did in the second half because it was only 15-0 at half-time.

"We scored a couple of early tries in the second half and they completely fell apart.

"But you've got to make your superiority count and we did by running in eight second-half with some nice rugby which put them to the sword."

Looking ahead to the visit of Heath, Klenk added: "We're expecting a tough game because we get reports back of what their strengths are.

"We know they gave Bradford & Bingley a game and they have a big pack. We sit very close to each other in the table and we're both looking for a win to push into the top half of the table.

"Our players have got their tails up right now and we know we're a match for any side in the division."

Salem are missing vice-captain Jamie Booth due to business commitments in Las Vegas and James Cunliffe is also absent as he is moving house, but the squad is otherwise at full strength.

Klenk said: "We've drafted Ben Scarborough into the squad. He's 40 now but he's a big, 6ft 7in second row and will do a good job for us."

Leaders Bradford & Bingley, meanwhile, are aiming to extend their 100% start to the season at Hullensians.

Club secretary Nick Patterson is expecting a stern test and said: "We've played five at home and three away, but this will be our toughest game so far.

"We're not setting off any balloons yet because we know it will be tough but we're obviously pleased with how results have gone.

"There have been parts of our performances which could have been better. For example, we went 19-0 down after thirteen minutes, which was probably the worst opening quarter anyone had seen from the Bees for a long time.

"Aside from lapses like that, we've been pretty good. Hull will be tough and it must be something in the water over there because it's always a difficult place to put your boots on."

The Bees could use their 40th player this weekend with Adam Sutcliffe and an unnamed rugby league convert, signed from Stanningley, both in contention to feature.
