Scarborough RUFC keen to home in on Morley win

Angus Frend, pictured tackling a Driffield player last weekend in the derby loss, will be eager to help his side to a home win against Morley on Saturday

Scarborough fell to a disappointing 43-7 defeat at Driffield last weekend with winger Jonty Holloway bagging his side's only try.

With Durham City picking up losing bonus points, the Silver Royd outfit have been dragged into a relegation scrap with the gap being six points from the team currently in the third relegation spot.

Saturday’s visitors were edged out by promotion-chasing Cleckheaton 18-17 at Scatcherd Lane and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Morley are on a run of five straight away defeats with their recent loss on the road at Bradford & Bingley where they lost 47-24.

Both sides met back in November, where Morley won 15-9 in a game that saw Simon Smith’s side defend superbly but fall short.

Since then, Scarborough have slipped down the table but a win on Saturday would take them above their opponents and into fifth place.

Simon has made a few changes from Saturday’s defeat, Henry Hocking replaces Tom Harrison at full-back due to him picking up concussion in the derby last weekend.

Jordan Holloway comes in to play at hooker as Matty Jones moves to tight head prop and Phil Watson returns in the second row.

Scarborough RUFC team: Nino Cutino, Jordan Holloway, Matty Jones, Luke Brown, Phil Watson, Will Leah, Euan Govier, Drew Govier (captain), Jordan Wakeham, Tom Ratcliffe, Angus Frend, Billy Parker, Komiti Tuilagi, Jonty Holloway, Henry Hocking
