BLACKBURN Hawks hope to have number one netminder Barry Hollyhead back between the sticks for potentially their toughest English Premier League weekend of the ice hockey season.

Hollyhead, struggling with a trapped nerve in his neck, missed last weekend's action including the drubbing at Solihull but has a 50-50 chance of returning for the trip to Milton Keynes (Saturday) and the home date with Wightlink (Sunday).

Hawks again have experienced Solway Sharks netminder Gordon Langford on standby and they will also check the progress of knee ligament absentee Matt Jones. Hawks have been toppled from their lofty perch and now stand third in the table as the title race enters its final few weeks.
