Tincknell given start by Wharfedale

3:40pm Thursday 9th February 2012 in Wharfedale By Bill Marshall

After a blank week to recharge their batteries after playing the two best sides in SSE National League One, Wharfedale face another stiff test when they make the trip to Cinderford in the Forest of Dean.

The hosts are having a curate’s egg of a season, losing seven of their first eight matches (which included a 33-25 defeat at The Avenue) but have turned their season round with four wins from their last five games.

Their victims have included Ealing and Rosslyn Park, and their only defeat since early December was by 17-12 at Jersey. The win over Rosslyn Park saw them overtake the Greens into 13th position.

Having lost winger Scott Jordan to a dislocated shoulder against Jersey, the Wharfedale selectors welcome back James Tincknell to the starting line-up, and prefer Will Bell at fly half.

He is joined there by Holland and Barrett, with James Holland healthy again after illness, and Tom Barrett stepping down thanks to Bell’s inclusion.

Captain Rob Baldwin is available again and resumes at No 8.

Wharfedale (at Cinderford): L Gray; J Tincknell, D Hart, T Davidson, S Horsfall; W Bell, P Woodhead; T McGee, B Sowrey, N Dickinson, R Brown, J Quinn, A Myers, R Baldwin, D Solomi. Replacements: J Altham, S Graham, R Rhodes, J Holland, T Barrett.
