ICE HOCKEY: Hawks player-boss Bobby Haig has no new injury worries ahead of Sunday night's Arena clash with Altrincham.

Apart from long-term absentee Colin Downie, Haig has a full complement of players as his side look to overturn the Cheshire side in a friendly challenge match.

Utility man Paul Mahon is set to return to the side after a lengthy lay-off with a shoulder injury, while Wayne Whitby and Ian Hough return after missing last weekend's fixtures due to personal commitments.

Haig this week called on his players to step up their promotion bid.

"We have four league games left," said Haig, "by the end of the season we need to have made up four points to reach the playoffs.

"That is going to take some effort on our part but if we carry on playing the way we did last weekend against Flintshire we must be in with a shout."
