Ilkley coach Rhys Morgan was delighted with his side’s winning start to the new season.

Now he wants them to build on it in Saturday’s tricky away match against Wath-upon-Dearne.

“It is good to get that first win under our belts. I know from previous experience that of you go a few games without a victory it can create a bit of pressure.

“In a league that is going to be as competitive as Yorkshire Division One wins are import ant.”

Morgan will be forced to make changes at Wath with forwards Pete Small and Iain McKenzie unavailable.

On the plus side he is boosted by the return of versatile three-quarter JH Johnson who will deputise for Paul Petchey.
