HAWCOAT Park fly the flag for South Cumbria tomorrow as they face a daunting challenge against North Lancs/Cumbria League front-runners De La Salle (3pm kick-off).

Park’s relegation fight continues as they look to spring a surprise against the high-flying Salford side.

Victory for Park would give their battle against the drop a mighty boost as they lie third from bottom in the division, and suffered a 40-5 hammering last time out at fourth-placed Oldham.

Ryan Brown keeps his shirt in the front row after some fine performances. He joins Adam Grainger and hopefully Paul Woodburn, who is looking to finish work in time to make the kick-off.

Matt Robson steps up from the A-team to partner Ashley Mowat in the engine room, with skipper Brad Morrow leading from the back row.

Morrow has Callum Ramsey and Alfie White to keep him company in what will be a key battleground against the leaders.

Another A-teamer performing well of late is Scott Garnett, who continues in his scrum half role and could link up with stand-off George Smith, who is hopeful of being available.

It looks like Lewis Sayle will be partnering A-team stalwart Dave Wynne in the centres. The wings and full-back roles are still to be confirmed, with Robert Shepherd, A-team back Jake Vial and Blain Marwood all looking to get the nod. The bench is to be finalised, but it will be strong in what will be a real test for the home side.

Hawcoat Park A’s scheduled match against Fylde has been called off and Furness, Millom and Windermere have a blank weekend in the Cumbria League.
