Thornton is out with shingles

4:14pm Thursday 4th December 2008

Keighley’s chances of playing at Glossop on Saturday in Yorkshire Division One seem remote, but they have more than adequate cover at hooker for Nathan Thornton, who has gone down with shingles.

Either Dave Pullen or Will Armitage could be promoted from the bench ffrom the original squad, which also marks the return of Andy Bennett to the back row.

Keighley (at Glossop): M Beckett; N Jordan, M Langstaff, C Spencer, D Lester; A Brown, A Marklew; R Leach, N Thornton, M Hagyard, R Clarke, M Feather, A Bennett, S Inman, L Sugden. Replacements: D Pullen, W Armitage, A Balderstone.
