Heworth have a handful of injury clouds with coach Chris Smith suffering from hamstring problems and Jon Coulson also expected to be sidelined for the visit of Millom on Saturday, with Phil Musby unavailable for several weeks.

But head coach Jimmy Rothwell will be looking at the positives going into the six-pointer with Millom having lost four on the bounce and Heworth winning their last four.

Rothwell said: "It's an important game for us - every league game for us is important now.

"We had a good win before Christmas against Saddleworth with a bit of a makeshift side so if we play with the same enthusiasm as we did then, we should get a result."
