Hunslet v Leigh preview.

4th of August 2012
Hunslet v Leigh preview.

Match Preview and Squad announcement


One out, two in for Hawks

Hunslet Hawks coach Barry Eaton has lost David March through suspension, but hopes to offset that blow with the return of Tommy Haughey and Anthony Henderson for the Co-operative Championship clash agianst Leigh.

Danny Grimshaw has also returned to training and came through Tuesday's session unscathed, but he will not be risked in Sunday's Co-operative Championship fixture with Leigh.

Meanwhile, the Centurions have doubts over Jonny Pownall (shoulder) and Tommy Gallagher (twisted ankle).

Leigh coach Paul Rowley said: "This fixture is like when we played York. Hunslet can be good on their day, and they're probably where they are due to inconsistency rather than a lack of talent.

"We need to be switched on and focused, because they're pretty unpredictable."

Rowley added: "There won't be a tremendous atmosphere, the crowd is far away from the pitch, and if there's a light breeze in Leigh there'll be a gale force wind in Hunslet. It's a good mental challenge for us."
