Yeah, won't be many teams that beat York Valkyrie this year...think she might do well to have another week off

Did anyone go up by train for the 1895 Cup match earlier this season?

Is it just a number 9 Park&Ride bus from outside the station to Monks Cross?

Yeah we got the train, park and ride very easy to use. There's a few stops as well along the way to the ground that you can catch it from, if you fancy a wonder round town.

Parked in the Vanguard shopping centre car park right next to the ground. Bought a coffee and some cake from Costa, free parking for 4 hours.

Can we pay at the gate on the day

Interestingly enough we parked in the main car park for free - the car park restrictions only really apply on football match days at which point there are large signs put up - we went into super bowl and were about to buy something when one of the home fans told us this was the case.



So if there are no signs up parking is free

It says on the York RFLC site, that there are 400 free parking spaces available.

Some big misses with Hood and Atoni from a very dominant pack.



Some players need to ramp up this week to compensate but they’ve all been very good as a forward unit so not too concerned.



As few changes as possible for me.



Croft in for Pratt.

Doyle to start at 9 with Smith on bench.

Rodwell to start for Atoni.



Atoni, Pratt, McGillvray, Bain, Boothroyd, Pitts - missing for us.





Dagger, keinhorst, Harris, Richie Myler, Brenden Santi, James Cunningham, Bailey Antrobus, Levi Edwards, Nikau Williams all unavailable.



Seems both teams missing a few but I’m confident in our depth and it’s an opportunity for a few players for us to get a start in the team. I’m sure we will maintain a strong professional approach and I’m really looking forward to this.



For me:



Jowitt

Walmsley

Croft

Thornley

Olpherts

Gale

Lino

Bowden

Doyle

Rodwell

Ashurst

Griffin

Cozza



Smith

Uele

Vagana

Kay

Be interesting to see how we go without Atoni who has been outstanding this year. That follow up of Gale's kick and one handed pull in and quick offload was one of many top class pieces of work he did last week.

Looks like coach travel has dropped from £15 to £10 on Trinity facebook page.

That’s Batley.
