Kingstone Press League 1 Preview: Swinton Lions v York City Knights

Correspondent

Swinton Lions picked up their first league win at University of Gloucestershire All Golds last week, which was much needed according to coach John Duffy.

“We got a good result in the end, it was good to get two points,” he said.

Looking ahead to Sunday’s game he said: “York are playing some really good rugby. They’ve got some real decent half-backs who get them around the park and a good set of forwards who can play as well as run hard.

“We’re really looking forward to the game and testing ourselves against a team that play some decent rugby.”

Swinton are likely to be without centre Chris Rothwell who picked up a head injury in last week’s game.
