ALLEN Martindale turns from prop to hooker for Kendal in their National League 3 North home match against Blaydon on Saturday (2pm kick-off).

Squad member Martindale has been on the bench recently, but comes in for Duncan Green, who is sitting out the RFU's obligatory three-week concussion period following a head injury.

Kendal have chosen their most experienced National League player Paul Dodds to play in the centre as a replacement for Phil Graham, who suffered a broken leg in the last game before the festive period.
