Otley probably though they had their first ever away victory against Macclesfield last Saturday, and this Saturday they play another side they have yet to beat away. Fortunately, their home form against Leicester Lions is slightly better although their encounter at Cross Green during 2016-17 saw the fourth highest number of points conceded.

Whilst Otley fell to their first defeat in three matches last week, the Lions win against Sedgley Tigers halted a 12-match losing streak. Otley win be looking to maintain their unbeaten home record this season, and bring in James Dyson from Scunthorpe into the pack. James had an initial game with the Saracens on Saturday, and Will Burns is at No 8 having played a varsity match last week. In the backs, Stephen Nolson is back on the left wing and another speedster Nazir Karim makes his season debut on the right, things are looking good to maintain that record.
