Season over for Carter

Workington Town ace Brett Carter is set to miss the end of the regular Co-operative Championship One season.

Town coach Gary Charlton said: “It looks like he’s got a bit of a hamstring pull and he’ll probably be out for a couple of weeks.”

However, Andrew Beattie is set to return along with Matthew Johnson for Sunday’s crucial clash with Swinton.

Charlton added: “All year we’ve been very competitive and we’ve been getting better as the games have gone on.

“We’ve got to try to get in the play-offs, but Swinton will be a hard team to play against. We’ve had two tough games against them this year.

“But, if we defend how we did against Hunslet and get our attack right, then I’d like to think that we’ll have a good chance.”

Swinton Lions will be without Carl Sneyd, who is set for an operation on a troublesome knee problem.

But Bruce Johnson made his return last week and is likely to feature again in the trip to Cumbria.
