THE absences of star men Jamie Hardman and Andy Duncan will not prevent Windermere fielding arguably their strongest side of the season as they head to Carlisle Crusaders in Cumbria League Two tomorrow.

Up front, Dan Harrison, Shaun Stafford and Luke Todd are the team’s driving force.

Phil Murphy and Paul Mahler are in the second row, with a strong back-row filled by Adam Hague, Greg Meschino and Johny Benson.

Bertie Hodgson and Liam McKinnon combine in the halves, with Tom Atkinson and Bobby Davis as the wing men.

Neil Pingit and Moses Dawson are at centre, and Alister McKinnel plays at full-back.

On the bench, Josh Dawson, Luke Robinson and Brad Askam will all be itching to get a piece of the action.
