Match Preview

Both team’s last games were big wins away at Wirral, but this will be a totally different challenge for the team. Wirral were in poor form, but Hull have just the one loss (vs Preston Grasshoppers) in the League since late October, although that run does include two draws. Few teams (incluidng Hoppers) come away with anything from Kirkby, but Hull had a big win their last month.

TEAM : With Matt Charters injured at Wirral, Alistair Thompson comes in to the back row, for his first start since the away game at Hull in December. Chris Downham moving to No.8.

Danny Barker returns in the centre, with Kris Bratton returning to the wing. Chris Park and Nathan Wooff swap places again, with Chris starting.

WEATHER : Dry after a wet morning
