This weekend sees Aireborough welcome Castleford to Nunroyd.

Aireborough come into the game having secured their 1st win of the season away at Sheffield Medics and Dentists last week. On the flip side, Castleford come into the game having only lost on 1 occasion.

Due to unavailability, Aire again make a number of changes with Jonny Hiles returning to the boiler room after a lengthy lay off to partner Sy Hill who moves up from Number 8. Andy Fuller, having successfully completing his return to 1st XV rugby last week, comes into the starting lineup at blindside flanker, while Vice Captain and resident socialite Chris Chapman returns to his usual openside position.

In the backs, the only changes come on the wings as Jamie Sykes and Kris Brook both return following injuries sustained in recent weeks. Aire also welcome skipper Ollie Catherall back on to the bench after recovering from a torn calf.

The Wolf Pack know this will be a tough encounter and having been on the end of 2 defeats to the hands of the men from Willowbridge Lane last season, will look to overturn that run of form.

As always, your support is welcome.
