SWINTON Lions are on the prowl again this weekend when they travel to rivals Leigh Centurions in Rugby League Division One.

Les Holliday's side are sitting pretty in fifth place in the table, which would be enough for a play-off spot come the end of the season, but must strive for more consistency if they want to keep their Grand Final dream alive.

They go into the game on the back of a last-minute 16-10 defeat at Hull KR at the weekend.

Leigh, meanwhile, are having a miserable season, lying next to bottom of the table with just four wins from 18 games.

Coach Keith Latham quit his job only two weeks ago and the Lions could not wish for a better opportunity to notch a league double.

They beat the Centurions 32-22 at Gigg Lane earlier this season and will be hoping for a repeat at Hilton Park on Sunday (June 14), 3pm kick-off.

The only injury worry is Tongan prop George Mann who has damaged ribs.
