Stones admits motivating a side to face an opponent they beat so comfortably the previous week isn’t ideal, but he wants his squad to be up for the challenge.

“It’s a difficult one,” he confessed.

“I’m hoping they bring a stronger side. We’ve sort of been limping along defensively, but we seem to be getting everyone back at the same time now.

“We don’t have a game the week after, so I’m hoping we can do well together this weekend and have something to build on.”

Elliot Andrew and Steve Brown will return from injury and suspension, while young Archie Offord will also be available for selection on Saturday (KO 2.30pm).
