Match Preview

A quarter of the way through the season and its another all-Yorkshire as Otley go to Dore Moor to play Sheffield Tigers. The two sides have played ten times before, with Otley 6-4 up which includes two away wins. Otley's last two defeats will have been frustrating, especially the first one against Macclesfield when the lads failed to convert the bonus point they got in the first half into the full five in the second half. The good news is that Freddie Watson returns to the starting line-out having come off injured in the opener against Fylde, as does Simon Willett (against Wharfedale), and the back row personnel are the same.

Having got off to a good start, the Tigers have found it tough going over the last two weeks with back to back defeats against Huddersfield and Sedgley Park. It is 364 days since these Otley and the Tigers last met at Dore Moor, and time for another away win.
