Fifth-placed Bradford & Bingley are facing a vital three weeks in their National League Three North season.

Player-coach Neil Spence says: "We are facing three sides towards the bottom end of the table - West Park St Helens, Macclesfield and Morley - and I want us to get 12 points, if not 15, from these games."

It has taken Spence a few days to get over last Saturday's 20-17 defeat at second-placed Leicester Lions.

He said: "We were winning 17-3 with five minutes of normal time remaining and lost 20-17 to the last play of the match in the 11th minute of injury time.

"It was very frustrating because I don't know where the referee got the 11 minutes from.

"There were some injuries but not 11 minutes' worth. We might have taken a bonus point beforehand but it could so easily have been four points."

The Bees are without prop Ian Judson on Saturday at home to West Park so Paul McCumiskey is on the bench.

Bradford & Bingley (home to West Park St Helens): B Greaves; M Simpson, R Tafa, S Dixon, M Kirkby; T Rhodes, J Bartlett; R Raper, I Clunis, R Wilson, R Hughes, B Grange, J Warren, S Onesi, N Spence. Replacements: P McCumiskey, R Padgett, C Fisher, J Hewitt.
