Haven will be looking for much better performance than the last two weeks when they complete their pre-season programme tomorrow (Saturday) ko 2pm.

Coach Gary Charlton had been hoping for a big step up against Workington Town on Sunday after a disappointing defeat at Newcastle Thunder a week earlier.

Charlton said: “It was a win, and it’s nice to regain the Ike Southward Memorial Trophy, but I wanted to see a bit more than what I saw. There was an improvement on the Newcastle performance but we wanted more, so will be looking for a convincing display against the Crusaders.”

Haven used 19 members of their 25-strong squad but injuries to Glenn Riley (displaced knee-cap) and Brett Carter (hamstring) mean that they won’t be involved on Saturday and will be sidelined for three weeks .

Haven will go with a 21 man squad as follows

Dion Aiye, Jake Bradley, Andrew Bulman, Kris Coward, Karl Dixon, Sam Dowsett, Sam Forrester, Ellis Gillam, Ethan Kelly, Jake Moore, Jason Mossop, James Newton, Jessie Joe Parker, Brett Phillips, Callum Phillips, Marc Shackley, Chris Taylor, Jamie Thackray, Dave Thompson, Tom Walker, Tom Wilkinson
