CHORLEY Lynx travel to West Yorkshire tomorrow looking for their fourth league win of the season when they take on mid-table Dewsbury at the Rams Stadium (3pm).
Lynx coach Graeme West has been left to count the cost of a stormy encounter with Doncaster Dragons two weeks ago when two players were sent off and four more sin-binned.
Chorley second row forward Lance Hamilton has picked up a six match ban for his part in a mass brawl, while the Doncaster pair Dale Cardoza and St John Ellis picked up six and four games respectively.
Lynx captain Liam Jones is struggling with a shoulder injury and will have a fitness test, while Graham Close and Wayne Bloor should both be fit after picking up knocks in the same game.
On the plus side West will welcome back utility back Chris Ramsdale after recovering from a broken foot and Sarfraz Patel is available again after serving a four-match ban. The squad has also been strengthened by t he signing of Sean Braddish on a month's loan from Warrington Wolves and he will go straight into the squad.
Dewsbury currently lie 10th in the league having won nine of their 17 games so far. Last weekend they were comfortably defeated at in-form Featherstone Rovers which left their coach Andy Fisher frustrated at their lack of professionalism after taking an early eight point advantage. The Rams could be boosted by t he return of the experienced duo of Carl Briggs and Brad Hepi but player-coach Fisher is still not fit to return and full-back Jamie Benn is doubtful and will need a f itness test.
CHORLEY LYNX (from): Watts, Yates, Jones, Wilcock, Close, Gambles, Street, Roden, Grundy, Braddish, Speed, Bloor, Hill, STewart, Kilgannon, Prescott, Parry, Ramsdale, Patel.
