LUKE Ladell makes his debut appearance for Kendal RUFC in their National League 2 match at Penzance and Newlyn on Saturday.

Ladell, who joined the club from Kirkby Lonsdale in the close season, comes in on the right wing for Jason Balmer, who injured a hamstring in Saturday's 35-17 victory over Fylde.

Dave Preston starts in the second row in place of Keith Robinson as he switches to loose forward for Mark Bowman, who is unavailable to travel.

Three of the replace-ments are players making comebacks from injury with Dan Bowman (shoulder), Mike Capstick (concussion) and James Hadwin (leg), with second-team forward Alan Holmes also included.

Team: D. Stephens, L. Ladell,

S. Healey, I. Voortman, M. Armstrong, M. Scott, D. Jijana, B. Coxon, I. Gowing, I. Thompson, D. Preston, A. Hudson, C. Wolstenholme, K. Robinson, A. Bateson (capt).

Replacements: A. Holmes, M. Capstick, D. Bowman, J. Hadwin.

The Kendal party have arranged to travel by train from Kendal straight

to Penzance, leaving Oxenholme station early on Friday afternoon and staying for two nights at the Queens Hotel in Penzance before setting off back on Sunday morning an estimated round trip of almost 1,000 miles.

n Kendal are calling an extraordinary meeting of members of January 23 to vote on a proposal to turn the club into a limited company.

The move is aimed at preventing officers of the club from becoming liable to any litigation, and there are other implications such as fund-raising by the issuing of bonds, which will follow.
