Martin is added to Broncos' injury list

William Kings13 April 2012

London Broncos must overcome injury problems going into tonight's Tetley's Super League clash at St Helens.

Coach Tony Rea, already ithout captain Jason Hetherington (knee), Scott Cram (ankle), Greg Fleming (ankle) and Richie Barnett (ham-string), has now lost Tony Martin to a hamstring injury suffered in training.

Dominic Peters is named in the starting line-up, but there is also an injury doubt about him as Broncos prepare to face the Super League defending champions, world club champions and Challenge Cup winners at Knowlsey Road.

All the problems add up to another chance for young Peter Lupton, who was called up for last week's game when Barnett was injured in the warm-up.

Lupton said: "It's a great match for me, but I've got some great experience around me.

"I've learned a lot this season from players like Jimmy Dymock."

Dymock leads the side tonight in the absence of Hetherington and Barnett as Broncos try to maintain their push for a top five finish and a place in the Grand Finals at the end of the season.
