Workington Town in hunt for fourth successive victory

Workington Town make only one change for their trip to Hunslet tomorrow in search of a fourth successive victory.

Ciaran Walker comes back into the squad in place of Jason Mossop as coach Anthony Murray is able to go with virtually the same 21 who were named for the game at Cornwall last week.

Town had been third bottom but wins over Newcastle Thunder, Rochdale and Cornwall have pushed them back into the last play-off place.

Hunslet’s head coach Dean Muir has named his 21 man squad for the game in which both George Flanagan Jnr and Matty Fletcher will return.

The club also prepares to celebrate former coach Paul Daley, whilst guests from Yorkshire County Cricket Club will be doing activities on the field from 1pm.

With hospitality sold out at the South Leeds Stadium Hunslet are looking for a good crowd and revenge for an early season 18-30 defeat to the Cumbrians.

“We lost the game at home to Workington, which could cost us, but here’s a chance to redeem ourselves” said Muir.

“They have two of the best middles in the League in Jordan Thomson and Stevie Scholey who bullied us a bit, even in the game we won up at Workington.

“It’s a big task for our pack this time to prove we can handle this test. They also have Jordan Burns, who is currently playing at half-back and is a real running threat.

“We played some good stuff to win at North Wales Crusaders last week, but we must back up that result. We must make sure we have that willingness to win.

“I feel we can still step up a few gears, which is scary. We used the ball well and our attacking structure was good, but I was especially happy we ran the shape well. Our attitude and shape application really came off.”

Hunslet take Joe Law on dual registration from Wakefield Trinity again, but not Noah Booth.

Law has really been impressing Hunslet fans lately and his coach backed that up.

“Joe’s played eight games for us now and has been really good. He is a great bloke who works hard and wants to learn.

“We have a good working relationship with Wakefield and having Joe for the season has been brilliant for us. It’s a shame we can’t have Noah this week as again he impressed at North Wales.”

Town squad: Billy Southward, Brad Brennan, Carl Forber, Chris Taylor, Ciaran Walker, Connor Saunders, Ellis Archer, Grant Reid, Henry Hadfield, Jack Stephenson, Jake Bradley, JJ Key, Jordan Burns, Jordan Thomson, Liam McNicholas, Luke Charlton, Matty Henson, Pone Tongia, Tommy Brierley, Tyler Walton, Zarrin Galea.

Hunslet squad: Jimmy Watson, Jude Ferreira, Alfie Goddard, Mattie Beharrell, Harvey Hallas, Toby Everett, Josh Jordan-Roberts, Aaron Levy, Michael Knowles, Ross Whitmore, Jordan Syme, Cam Berry, Liam Carr, Ethan O’Hanlon, Jack Coventry, Jack Render, Matty Fletcher, Keenan Tomlinson, George Flanagan jnr, Jordan Paga, Joe Law.
