Darlington Mowden Park have named their 20 man squad for tomorrow’s National One fixture against Leicester Lions. The DMP starting lineup includes 3 changes to the side who started in the win over Bishop’s Stortford last time out.

Two of those changes come in the backs, with a welcome return to the fold for Chris McTurk who starts on the right wing. Callum Mackenzie also comes back into the side for his 249th league appearance, joining Ben Frankland in the centres. Josh Ree reverts to fullback, with Henry Hadfield continuing on the wing. The half back pairing remains unchanged as Callum Pascoe and Garry Law start at 9 and 10 respectively.

The only personnel change in the DMP pack sees Ollie Hodgson promoted to start at number 8. Yaree Fantini shifts to the openside flank, with Charlie Smith on the blindside. Joe Craggs reverts to the second row alongside Oscar Usher, while the front row remains unchanged as Alfie Barron, Sam Kyle-Clay and Eoin Harrison all continue.

There’s a 3-2 split on the bench, with Max Fraine, Carl Guest and Talite Vaioleti covering the forwards. Harry Rickard and Nathan Greenwood offer options across the back line to complete the matchday 20.
