Wicket-keeper Mitchell Clarke is unavailable, so Matty Fowler will don the gloves. Paul Hilton misses this weekend’s fixtures as he is suffering from back spasms. Seventeen year old seamer Liam Grimes replaces Hilton in the attack. After last week’s excellent game at Barnsley, York head to Scunthorpe hoping to get a good result against a much-improved Appleby Frodingham team, and to keep in touch with leaders Harrogate. York make one change from last Saturday, with Duncan Snell returning in place of Andrew Tute who is at a wedding. Simon Lambert retains his position at the top of the order. |

A message from our new President
I was honoured to be asked to be President of the ECB Solly Sports Yorkshire Premier League, and I have accepted the invitation with great pride. I would like to thank the outgoing President, Nick Kay, for all his work during his time in office.
Having played in the League during my career, and currently being involved with Scarborough CC, I am aware of the high standard of cricket played in the League, and the high standing that the League holds in Yorkshire Cricket.
I feel that I can contribute to the hard work that is being done by the League Officials in all aspects of League business, and I am looking forward to representing the League in any way I can.
I look forward to meeting players, umpires, scorers, Club officials and spectators in the League during the course of the coming season.
