SELBY RUFC head coach Richard Nicholson has told his players they must not let their Yorkshire One season fade away.

The Sandhill Lane chief believes a four-win flurry to end the campaign will see his side finish in fifth and it’s a target he is keen to achieve.

Selby’s inconsistency this season struck again as they followed up their excellent win over second-placed Malton & Norton with defeat against Middlesbrough last time out.

He said: “I thought they (Middlesbrough) played really well and deserved the win.

“I was disappointed with our performance. We didn’t play and that was the disappointment - particularly after the win the previous week.

“We have got four games and if we win then we can break into the top five.

“That’s as good an incentive as anything and we have got to get that across to the players.

“One of our targets was to finish in the top five. We would consider that a really good season.

We are not far away and it is still in our hands.”

James Blaymire is back for Selby along with Dom Bosher, who returns to the squad following a few weeks out with injury.

Pocklington entertain Percy Park for the first time in a North One East fixture.

The hosts are without their first-choice half-backs so pair up- and-coming Yorkshire Under-20s scrum-half James Thompson with the veteran Chris Hill, who previously played in the Premiership with Leeds Tykes.

Dan Pickard deputises for Tim Nixon on the wing. When the sides met on Tyneside in November, second-in- the-table Percy Park won 21-11.

Their promotion push has faltered somewhat since then and they now lie fourth.

York RI are without a game in Yorkshire Four.
