Cleckheaton are hoping that experienced back row Geoff Jones can have a large influence on the outcome of their National League Three North home match against Stockport on Saturday.

“It isn’t just his decision-making that is important,” said spokesman Alan Bentley, “but the effect that he can have on the younger players.”

The hosts have Ross Hayden at full back, having swapped with Joe Massarella, who reverts to the wing.

Cleckheaton (home to Stockport): R Hayden; M Ashworth, Matt Piper, R Jackson, J Massarella; P Murphy, O Depledge; P Turner, S Worsley, C Mason, M Burrows, R Piper, G Jones, L Hamilton, R Piper. Replacements: D Castle, T Clough, A Piper.
