Who's available from the U20's pack? I thought their were a host of injuries including George Tyson, who deserves a call up before the end of the season.

From the club's website re the U20sThere will be a far more familiar and experienced look about the City Reds on this occasion, however, with the return from injury of skipper,Chris Hankinson, Edwin Okanga-Ajwang, Will Hope, and Aiden Hema. They will also be joined by the likes of Niall Evalds, Gareth Owen, Alex Davidson, George Tyson, and Dan Brotherton.[/i

Interesting now that the under performing, out of favour antipodean I had in mind is now leaving! Maybe McGoldrick will play prop? He's probably carrying enough weight and it's probably the only position he hasn't played at SCR yet!!

LEIGH 16-42 REDS (25-7-13)
Another convincing victory well done.....and still top of the league !

Hat trick for Jon Ford today who is on dual reg at Oldham in 1st vs 2nd clash vs Crusaders.

Also a hat trick for ex Salford Richard Lepori for Italy in a world cup warm up game.

So it appears, that I may have been wrong! Possibly through having few alternatives, Nobby may field some of the younger lads.

Evalds who was 18th man for a number of weeks and therefore didn't get to play any rugby, but has had a few 20s matches recently, Jordan Walne recalled from Workington, Davies recalled from Barrow, Hope, who has been a first team member since the beginning of the season, Owen, another first teamer who has played one or two matches and Davidson, who made his SL debut about 2 and a half years ago, but is still on an Academy contract.

In all, there are 10 lads who played together in last year's U20s team who are likely to play on Sunday. They've all moved on and with the experience of the established players, we may still be able to make a game of it. Who knows? We may be pleasantly surprised!
