The selected team has a few changes from the starting XV against Wharfedale.

Dan White, our new backrow from Barrow, injured his shoulder last Saturday and will not be available. Versatile Chris Park switches place with Simon Mulholland onto the wing. 

We have a completely new back row, with Garry Holmes returning from a strained back, Joe Mallinson from a virus and Nathan Bland is definitely available from his police duties, for his first game in Kendal colours for over ten years. 

Richard Harryman is on holiday.

                               Wharfedale 42 Kendal 6 (Half time 10-6)

Kendal, turning out a mixture of young inexperienced players, and frisky veterans, were eventually overwhelmed by the smooth running and powerful "Green machine" from the National 1st Division. 

For fifty minutes the Black & Ambers tackled like fury, against overwhelming possession from the Yorkshire lads, restricting them to one burrowing try from their powerful back row Dan Solomi from five metres, but after seven minutes of the second half, the floodgates opened, allowing Wharfedale to score 4 unanswered tries in fifteen minutes. The game was all over bar the shouting!
