BLACKBURN Hawks are being touted as the play-off dark horses after a string of fine performances.
The Hawks 7-6 victory at Murrayfield Royals was the seventh in their last eight games - and now the Scottish outfit travel to the Arena on Saturday for the first in a series of round-robin ties.
The Northern League has been split into two mini-leagues with Paisley Pirates drawn in the Hawks' group. The top two of each group will meet each other with the eventual winners to play the winners of the Southern Premier League.
Player-coach Jim Pennycook is still doubtful with an ankle injury.
