But with close to a full team to chose from, third-from-bottom Farsley are hoping the wind is back in their sails, and are eyeing back-to-back victories for the first time this season tomorrow at the expense of Heaton, who have lost all eight matches in a horror start to the campaign.

And with a trip to high-fliers East Bierley to come on Sunday, not to mention a league and Priestley Cup double-header with Pudsey Congs next weekend, Farsley don't need telling twice the pivotal importance of victory against Alan Mynett's strugglers.

Farsley skipper Syers said: "There's no point beating Woodlands away and then losing to Hanging Heaton the week after, who are bottom of the table.

"It would be a case of one step forwards, two steps back.

"But if we get a good result, it could give us a bit more freedom for our games with East Bierley and Pudsey Congs – who are two of the powerhouse sides."
