Bradford Maroons return to action on Sunday against a visiting Middlesbrough Lions side who will be out for revenge.

The Lions lost to Bradford in their opening EBL Division Four North fixture but have since climbed to third in the table.

They also boast both the division’s second and fourth highest point scorers in their ranks.

The Maroons, hit hard by injuries at the end of last year, start the second half of the season eighth in the table.

They are among a cluster of teams in a tight division who still have an outside chance of a reaching the play-offs.

The game against Middlesbrough at Parkside Road Sports Centre tips off at 2.30pm.
