Morley have five former Cleckheaton players on their books but only three of them are likely to figure in their National League Three North derby at Moorend tomorrow.

Former England scrum half Scott Benton is sidelined with a hamstring injury and flanker Lance Hamilton is also out injured. However, backs Neil Murray and Glenn Boyd and second row Craig Rika are due to play for the Maroons.

Cleckheaton started their league campaign with a superb 13-3 victory at Darlington last Saturday.

And Moorend official Alan Bentley said: "Conditions suited Darlington's rolling maul and they have recruited well during the close season, but we stuck magnificently to our game-plan and everybody tackled their hearts out.

"If we can get in Morley's faces tomorrow and show the same kind of spirit then we will win again, but Morley are used to winning. They were promoted last season and won at Twickenham."

New signing Stuart Davies epitomised Cleckheaton's spirit but Bentley said that Chris Quinn was their man of the match.

"He played a leader's role at fly half in very difficult conditions and put the ball in the right place against the wind, and when we had it he turned their wingers around and allowed Joe South and John Bentley to pressurise them."

Cleckheaton have moved prop Carl Mason into the second row to provide their pack with more beef, dropping Ryan Piercy to the Kestrels.

The home replacements will be decided after the second-team match at Morley tonight (7.30).
