Panthers bosses have snapped up in-form Berwick man Dany Gappmaier to deputise for the injured Simon Lambert. Gappmaier scored 13+1 against them last night for his regular club in a meeting which saw Simon Lambert break his left hand.

Robert Branford, of Sheffield, steps in at reserve for Bradley Wilson-Dean while the R/R facility will cover the absence of Kenneth Hansen.

“We’ll go to Newcastle in a positive frame of mind, and try to be as competitive as we possibly can,” said Panthers boss Carl Johnson.
