Rugby League Round-Up: Strong Line-Ups and Exciting Match-ups Ahead

Coach Kev Kyte is gearing up to field a strong line-up for the upcoming clash with the Warrington based side, and the Tigers are set to welcome back some key players to bolster their squad.

Goal-kicking veteran and try-scorer Grant Burns will make his return to the team, alongside the exciting young talent Rocco Scarpone. However, the team will be without the services of Jamie Lynn and Reece Craig for this match.

Meanwhile, the Roose Pioneers are looking to bounce back from their previous defeat as they travel to face Blackpool Scorpion. The squad will be boosted by the return of Euan James, Sam Johnson, Ethan Bowness, and Grant Roberts, who will be looking to make an impact on the field.

In other league news, Dalton and Ulverston will have a weekend off due to cup competitions, while Askam will take on Cockermouth Tigers in the Cumberland league. The team has named a 21-man squad with a late decision to be made on the final 17, with players like Rob Cockayne, Brad Kavanagh, and Marley Johnson back in contention.

Barrow Island and Millom will also be in action in the National Conference, facing Thornhill Trojans and Normanton Knights respectively. Both teams will see some changes to their line-ups, with key players returning and others unavailable for selection.

In the Barrow League, Barrow Island “A” secured a thrilling victory over Millom “A” with Oli Holmes leading the way with a hat-trick of tries. The match was a close affair with both teams putting on a strong performance, but it was Barrow Island who came out on top in the end.
