With the York friendly coming up and the game against Rovers being on the next day, what players do you think will feature and for how long. I should imagine the squad will mainly consist of players from the 20's with some of the new players having short spells. I've heard Ellis is playing 40 mins against York and Rovers. Any other of the 1st team squad taking part? Any ideas roughly what the squad will be?

Danny Nicklas doing 40 mins at york

Would think Cunnighams, Green, Pearce, Kent, Crooks, Brown, Bowden and Briscoe will all feature. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of the experienced players to play such as Burnett (If fit), Ellis, Lyne, Whiting, O'Carroll. Would like to even see a few of the younger 18's given a shot. Some played well in the nines. Can't remember names though.

I have a couple of places left on my coach going down for the game from three tuns, as the rugby team from there are playing the rugby league all stars as the curtain raiser for the charity life for a kid, we are setting off at 2 and the ticket and coach is £16 message me if interested.

Wow, now that is inexperienced!

Glad in a way. Gives the youngsters a go against what looks like a near full strength York side. Hopefully Gentle will throw a few in when we play in the CC against lower opposition and even in a couple of SL games. Cant wait for this season. Everything is looking positive!

Good to see the club have obviously been scouting our local Conference sides with Jamie Shaul getting a game. Really good young player. Was only saying a couple of months back after watching him play a blinder against Myton Warriors that i thought Rovers should give him a chance in our 20s.

For any one taking children, they [url=http://www.yorkcityknights.co.uk/c/york-city-knights-newscan get in free if you print a ticket here.[/url

Interesting Pearce isn't there, perhaps he'll get some game time against Rovers.

Still can't believe its £14 to go.

Pearce is Injured

good luck to matty kingdom especially[mates with his dad c,mon you hulla

According to HDM he's injured, nothing serious though

Burnett's out, too, but I think that him and Pearce are the only injuries we have at the moment.

I'm interested to see how Green, Kent and Cunningham go today because I see those as the 3 most likely to get a chance in the first team side if we get any injuries.

What time does it kick off and is anyone able to do score updates?

Well done to Radford for useing all the youngsters....its his team and he would like to see how they go in a competitive match....looks as though the 1st team will interchange a lot sunday against the Dobbins and maybe use the Bulls match as a fine tuneing game with less interchanges and most of the 1st 17 having a big hit out.

Anyone got any updates on the score?.

First try of the gentle era to Tom lineham 0 _ 6

Is any radio station covering it?

Briscoe in on the left, kick unsuccessful. 0 - 10

Great start by the young kids.

No
