Bradford & Bingley go into Saturday's National League Three North home match against Leicester Lions in confident mood and with a score to settle.

Having gone down 26-21 at Darlington Mowden Park and won 21-19 at Preston Grasshoppers, the Bees are hoping they can pull further away from the relegation places with a third decent display.

"I was chuffed with how we played last week," said Bees' player-coach Neil Spence. "The forwards played well to put us into a 21-0 lead at half-time, but it was disappointing that we couldn't have got the bonus point, either at the end of the first half or at the beginning of the second half, but at least survival is in our own hands."

The Lions won in the 11th minute of injury time earlier in the season.

Roger Raper starts at prop for the Bees as Peter Hall has a rib injury.
