Skipton get a chance to throw open the challenge for promotion in Yorkshire Division Two and put themselves back into contention in the process when they entertain table-topping West Leeds at Sandylands tomorrow.

The Blue Hill Lane men are unbeaten in four starts and last weekend brought the winning run of West Park Bramhope to an end with a 34-12 home win against their North Leeds rivals.

Skipton are smiling again after their win at Northallerton last weekend, but the sense of relief that came from that success has not tempted the selectors into blindly keeping faith with the same line-up.

Indeed, tomorrow's side shows one notable change, with the decision to move last season's record try-scorer Paul Lacy to the replacement bench, with Anthony Hill taking his place.

A front-row adjustment is needed because hooker Neil King is at a wedding, his place going to Robbie King, who is fit again after a back injury.

While Skipton are tackling the top team in their division, North Ribblesdale also face a stern test when they visit Old Brodleians, who are currently third in Yorkshire One with three wins from four matches.

The Grove Park men are still looking for their first points of the season and will need to summon all their spirit and character to break their duck at Hipperholme.

Old Brods are clearly in good nick at the moment on the evidence of their 52-22 win at Pontefract last weekend and the Dalesmen could have done without the handicap of having Philip Pawson, Michael Carr, Russell Howarth and Mark Mortimer all absent tomorrow.

The impressive Jonny Mills comes in at lock, with Lister Brown, Willie Garth and second-team captain Chris Wallbank forming a new back-row combination.

Skipton: M Richards; M Beech, H Burns, I Sneddon, A Hill; D Howson, A Oldfield; G Reid-Hughes, R King, P Jenkinson, A Winthrop, J Morgan, M Boatwright, I Scrivin, M Davison. Replacements: P Lacy, P Crossman, A N Other.
