CHORLEY Lynx go in search of a record equalling fifth successive victory tomorrow when they travel to Craven Park to take on Barrow Raiders.
The last time the club enjoyed such a run was back in the days of Lancashire Lynx in their championship winning season, but they are likely to find Barrow a different proposition than last weekend's opposition London Skolars, when Lynx enjoyed an 11 try romp.
Full back Mark McCully weighed in with 24 points and new loan signing Anthony Blackwood also impressed on his debut.
Coach Darren Abram will have a full strength squad to chose from as John Braddish returns after missing last weekend's game, while long term injury victim Mike Briggs is also fit to return after missing the last six games, along with Andy Parker, who was unavailable last weekend.
The club had more good news this week with the call up of Ian Hodson and Eric Andrews for the National League's under 21 team to play against their Super League rivals.
Barrow currently stand fifth in the league on the same points as Lynx but with an inferior points difference to Lynx. Last weekend they had a comfortable 42-20 victory over Swinton Lions with star man Tane Manihera contributing 18 points and also having a hand in several other touchdowns.
Like Lynx, Barrow have been with injury problems all season, but against Swinton they welcomed back full back Paul Salmon but they are still likely to be without Craig Bower and the influential Dave Clark who has caused Lynx problems in the past.
Lynx will select from: McCully, Ingram, Garcia, Stenhouse, Andrews, Coates, Dean, Street, McDonnell, Whittle, Blackwood, Newall, Hodson, Roden, Rowley, Redford, Gambles, Braddish, Briggs, Parker, Smith, Kilgannon.
