LANCASHIRE Lynx Rugby League Club face a formidable task tomorrow if they are to progress through to the semi finals of the Silk Cut Plate.

The visitors to Deepdale will be last season's Second Division champions Hull KR who were by far the best team in the division.

In the Silk Cut Trophy they were unlucky not to beat Super League outfit Halifax, losing by just two points. Last weekend they demolished Doncaster 58-2 in the Silk Cut Plate.

They possess plenty of match-winning players with Stanley Gene and Mike Fletcher being the ones to watch out for.

Lynx will be hoping to perform as they did in the second half of last week's victory over Barrow, but their plans could be hit by an injury crisis which sees at least half of the squad on the treatment table. This could lead to some of the young players from the Alliance side being on the subs bench. Team from: Parsley, Wareing, Stewart, Finney, Walsh, Ruane, Emery, Taylor, Smith, Norton, Francis, Molineux, Gee, Westwood, Gleave, Briscoe, Barr, Allday, Fairhurst, McLoughlin.
