Captain: Imran Abid. Professional: Chris Cook-Martin (England). Last year: 6.

Imran Abid: We surprised a few teams last year and did especially well given the bad weather.

"We had seven or eight games rained off and obviously we would like to get some better weather this year.

"It is going to be a tight league this time around and I don’t think Baxenden will have it all their own way and Barnoldswick could push them hard.

"I also think there are a lot of teams really challenging for the top five or six and we want to be in that mix."

Matt Donlan’s prediction: 9th.
