Championship preview: Dewsbury Rams heading to Cumbria ‘full of confidence’
Dewsbury Rams will be heading to Workington Town this weekend “full of confidence” says head coach Paul March.
The Rams make the long trip to Cumbria on Sunday (March 22, kick off 3pm) on the back of two consecutive Championship losses after winning their opening three league games.
Workington, meanwhile, having lost their opening four rounds of fixtures, have gained a positive draw at Keighley Cougars and a morale-boosting 52-10 victory over Salford in their last two games.
March, who led the Rams to two victories at Derwent Park in 2025, told the Reporter Series:
“We have competed in every game this year and we could have easily been five wins from five so we will be going up there full of confidence.
“We went up there twice last year and won both times away from home which is a tough task in itself. We will be full of confidence going up there. Hopefully we can bring two points back.
“Teams are going to have momentum at certain points and they (Workington) have turned a bit of a corner. They are going to be tough at home. They have got some very good players in their ranks and some experience.
“I wasn’t surprised with the Salford score as you don’t know what team is going to be playing for them, so I wasn’t surprised with that, but certainly the Keighley one they had a decent dig and went there and got the draw.”
He added: “The lads trained hard last week like it was a game week and now we have been building to Workington.
“We want to deliver those standards that we have done in pre-season and make sure we are continuing to train hard and doing the right things.”
