CH preview: Doncaster v York (Wed)

Doncaster hooker Kyle Kesik looks certain to miss Wednesday’s Kingstone Press Championship clash with York after breaking his nose.

Doncaster lost their last match 24-10 against Dewsbury, prompting coach Tony Miller to admit his side needs to make major improvements in the final week of the regular season.

Miller said: “Unless we dramatically improve we won’t make an impact on the play-offs.

“We need to hit a bit of form and take confidence into the play-offs.”

Under-pressure York travel without James Ford, but Jack Aldous and Kris Brining could return to Gary Thornton’s side.

Defeat for the Knights would confirm their relegation to Kingstone Press Championship One.

Thornton said: “It’s becoming pretty desperate for us now, there’s no doubting that.

“If we lose, then the trip to Batley (on Sunday) will be totally irrelevant.”
