WHILE hooker Andrew Dixon returns
to the Durham side for
their County Championship
Shield relegation decider against
Cumbria at Darlington tomorrow,
his brother Iain is unavailable.
The Mowden Park player is replaced
at centre by Gateshead's
David Tate, while Durham University
and Nottingham flanker
Phil Eggleshaw comes in for
Mowden's Aaron Myers, who is
playing in a sevens competition.
Andrew Dixon, a withdrawal
last week due to the birth of his
first child, comes back in despite
the availability of Moseley's former
Darlington hooker Dan Oselton,
who on the bench.

Durham: Simon Moore (Middlesbrough),
Gareth Foreman (Hartlepool Rovers), David Tate
(Gateshead), David Astle, Matthew Horrocks,

Northumberland hope that
home advantage will give them
the edge over North Midlands in
their promotion decider with
North Midlands at Tynedale.
The winners will secure promotion
to the Bill Beaumont Cup
and also go through to the Shield
final at Twickenham on June 1.
In the senior event the Roses
match at Harrogate is likely to
settle who goes through to the
final. Yorkshire welcome back fly
half Richard Wainwright, who
was away last weekend on his
club Manchester's end of season
tour to Barcelona.
Wharfedale's former Middlesbrough
player Andy Baggett covered
for Wainwright last week
and collected a broken nose, but
he is expected to take his place at
centre. Otley's former West
Hartlepool flanker Dan Hyde
made a big impact from the
bench in Yorkshire's 14-10 defeat
away to Warwickshire last week
and is a possible starter.
