The Bees will be looking to give fitness test before finalising their side to face Orrell at Sharmans Cross Road this Saturday (2pm)

The Bees will not be underestimating current bottom place Orrell this weekend and are waiting on fitness tests to try and select a strong team.

Former Tonga Hese Fakatou has been sidelined since the victory over Henley back on January. Fakatou suffered bruised ribs but it looks as though he's well on his way to recovering. His absence last weekend allowed Ben Hughes to start the game before coming off and giving youngster Luke Narraway a chance to prove himself in the second half.

Mike Davies injury allowed room for Scott Williams to make the starting line up last weekend as he missed the victory over London Welsh due to a knee injury sustained against Penzance Newlyn.

O'Keefe is also hoping that the hit to the knee, which forced him to leave the pitch during the second half of last weeks win, wont keep him out of selection this weekend.

After coming off the replacements bench for the second half against Welsh, Paul Knight is looking likely to start again against Orrell. The first choice scrum half had been out since the Powergen Cup game against Leeds Tykes when he damaged ankle ligaments.

Matt Miles is also looking to return at hooker after Rob Merritt was given his first start of the season. Miles, who his looking to move to Birmingham to cut down travelling, played the entire second half last week and looks to make the starting line up once more.
