Cumbria aim to make up for the disappointment of a narrow defeat last week when they resume their County Championship campaign tomorrow.
They entertain Northumberland at Carlisle after suffering the heartache of a 26-25 defeat to Staffordshire at Kendal.
They had the chance to win it at the death but Rob Coward’s conversion attempt seven yards off the touchline and into the breeze drifted wide.
The problem was that Cumbria gave away 28 penalties and discipline will have to improve tomorrow.
They subsequently were well behind at half-time and although they did much better in the second-half, out-scoring their visitors, it wasn’t enough to earn them a fight-back victory.
Unavailabilities, and a desire to rotate, sees changes to last week’s team with experienced former team-mates Reece Tomlinson and Glen Weightman back in the squad.
Tomlinson goes straight into the second-row while Weightman, who helped Keswick to Papa John’s glory last week, is on the bench.
Mark Watson of Aspatria is also brought in on the bench while Devin Coyle of Kendal will start at scrum-half.
Northumberland were well beaten 60-24 by group favourites Cheshire last week.
Cumbrian complete their group programme with a trip to Chester next week to take on Cheshire.
Team for tomorrow at Warwick Road, Carlisle is – Charlie Lomas (Kirkby Lonsdale), Rob Coward (Penrith), Ben Dixon (Kendal), Luke Atkinson (Kendal), Dan Shorrock (Kendal), Aaron Stephens (Kendal), Devin Coyle (Kendal), Glenn Chesher (Kendal), Tom Graham (Carlisle), Joe Anderson (Kendal), Alex Ryder (Kendal), Reece Tomlinson (Kendal), Tom McCullough (Northern), Matt Houghton (Kendal, capt), Sam Wilson (Penrith).
Replacements: Aaron Sullivan (Aspatria), Tom Mooney (Upper Eden), Barney Coxon (Kendal), Ant Davies (Cockermouth), Glenn Weightman (Keswick), Mark Watson (Aspatria), Alfie Bradshaw (Kirkby Lonsdale).
The referee will be Simon Williams from Durham backed by a team from Cumbria of Martin Maughan, Jim Donald and Ciaran Trainor with the performance reviewer Norman Laycock.
On Sunday the Cumbria Ladies start their County Championship programme at home to Staffordshire (ko 2pm) which will also be played at Carlisle.
The officials are all from the Cumbria Society and are referee Martin Maughan, supported by George Tresidder and Phil Denvir with Alan Jenkinson as the fourth official. Referee advisor is Alasdair Boyle.
