York Groves boss Simon Moat is confident their home form will bring a return to winning ways in division five at home to West Craven Warriors.

Moat said the silver lining of the Terriers' narrow defeat at Siddal last week is the fact there is a renewed determination in training to iron out the little lapses that cost the York club.

The Warriors will prove a stiff test as they lie one place above Groves in the table in fourth. But Moat said: "It's always a tight game against West Craven, but we have a 100 per cent home record against them and, if we stick to our game-plan, I'm confident the record will stay intact.

"The lads are training really well and showing a great deal of enthusiasm.

"West Craven have added some new faces to their squad but on our home park it's a game we've targeted to win."

Groves are strengthened by the return of forwards Neil Gulliver, Rob Latham, Rich Needham and Chris Nuttall, though they must contend with the loss of captain Danny Buy and forward Paul Fowler, who are speaking at the Communist Party of Britain congress in London.

Selby Warriors will look to continue their excellent start to the division three campaign as they host lowly Elland A', while York Acorn A', beaten by a single point by Selby last week, face another difficult test at high-flying Littleborough.

Heworth A' will look to continue winning ways in Yorkshire League division three at home to Castleford Lock Lane A'.
