BLACKBURN fans are in for a rare double header this weekend as the Hawks challenge for the Anglo-Welsh Cup.

Hawks tackle Flintshire at the Arena on Saturday night (face off 6pm) and travel to Wales for the return leg on Sunday.

Player-boss Bobby Haig will be without the aid of the under-19s players for Sunday's game. They play their own match the same day. Eddie Cooper is also a doubt.

Haig has also been unable to make any new additions to the squad ahead of the weekend's fixtures.

The Hawks boss was hoping to secure the services of at least one new face, but while negotiations are still in progress, nothing will be settled in time for the Flintshire clashes.
