Hoyle back on bench after long spell out

6:38pm Thursday 8th January 2009 in R Union

Basement club Baildon, with Carlos Hassan back in charge after a month's holiday in New Zealand, need to kick-start their Yorkshire Division Three season on Saturday with a victory at Aireborough, which would also bring the hosts back into the relegation scrap.

Second row Dave Hoyle returns to the bench for Baildon following knee ligament problems, and flanker Antony Perrow also returns.

Sam Robinson reverts to hooker in the absence of Danny Whiteley (work commitments), and Paul McNamara gets a start at flanker following his return from a year’s travelling.

Baildon (at Aireborough): JJ O’Connell; R Kingham, N Lister, C Smithies, H Lister; M Coultas, J Dawson; T Craven, S Robinson, P Lowth, G Price, S Kullar, P McNamara, A Beaumont, A Perrow. Replacements: N Murphy, A Bairstow, D Hoyle.
