After four weeks of training, sprinter Dwain Chambers makes sure he wears his gumshield as he makes his debut for Castleford's reserves
Chambers, trying at his hand at a new sport after returning from a drugs ban in athletics, draws a crowd of more than 3,000 people
Chambers takes a full part in the pre-match warm-up as Cas get ready to take on York City Knights in a specially arranged match
Chambers takes his seat on the bench after Cas decide to ease him into the match as a replacement at The Jungle
The wait is almost over as Chambers gets some last-minute instructions from the coach before making his bow
Chambers gets a few opportunities to show his pace, but the York defence does a good job of keeping him under wraps on this occasion
Chambers gets stuck in during his 39 minutes on the pitch, doing his fair share of work in defence

And Chambers, who had four separate stints of action in the 30-16 win, hurts his shoulder in a tackle on Mark Applegarth late on
