Castleford coach Daryl Powell is calling for a positive response from his players as they look to avoid a fourth successive defeat when they kick off the Easter programme against Leeds on Thursday night. The Tigers suffered a humiliating 56-12 defeat to Warrington on Friday after which Powell apologised to fans.But hes hoping the intense rivalry of a derby with the reigning Super League champions will help stop the rot. Weve got a lot to do after last week to get some pride back, Powell said. Weve had a pretty honest week and Im confident after watching the players train today.Its a local derby, were at home and the place is going to be packed. Its a key game for us. Its against the team that all Castleford fans want us to beat more than any other.Castlefords stand-in captain Luke Gale knows about the rivalry with his home-town club as much as anyone.It would be good to bounce back against your local rivals, said Gale, a product of the Headingley academy who played for Doncaster, London Broncos and Bradford before joining the Tigers at the start of last season.Its not been a happy place this week but its a real good chance to bounce back. Highlights of Castlefords crushing defeat to Warrington I played for Leeds, I grew up in Leeds and Im a Leeds lad. I just think everyone gets up for a Leeds game and weve done well in the past against them.Im good friends with Danny McGuire and it would be good to get one over on him. I think hell be back to give them some guidance.McGuire, who was a late withdrawal from last Fridays win over St Helens, is finally expected to return from a knee injury sustained in the Rhinos opening game of the season, while Gale could have his half-back partner Ben Roberts alongside him after missing the last two games with a foot injury.It would be massive if we got him back, Gale said. If any team loses a half-back, they struggle. We were just getting a good combination going. He started the season off really well. Leeds Rhinos Danny McGuire will make a welcome return from injury Already without Michael Shenton, Oliver Holmes, Junior Moors and Luke Dorn, Castleford have lost Frankie Mariano and Matt Cook for this game but Powell is not looking for excuses.Were a little bit low on personnel but Leeds have been too and they found it tough, although theyve named a pretty strong squad for this one, Powell said. Castlefords Nathan Massey (left) has stepped into the 13 position for the last two games Weve still got a very good squad that will take the field. Obviously we need to respond from what we did last week, that goes without saying. Its crucial for us.Leeds look sure to be without winger Ryan Hall but should have fellow England international Tom Briscoe back from a six-week injury lay-off to help plug the gap.Im really exited to get back out there and do what I can to help the team, said Briscoe, who sustained a leg injury in the second round at Widnes. Brian Carney previews the Easter weekend fixtures in Super League Its been really tough. I went through it last year when we were winning games, and its on the flip side this year, weve not been doing so well.Youd like to think you could improve the team but you never know until youre out there and the main thing is to get out there.Castleford Tigers: Ryan Boyle, Ben Crooks, Luke Gale, Ryan Hampshire, Jy Hitchcox, Lee Jewitt, Andy Lynch, Will Maher, Nathan Massey, Mike McMeeken, Paul McShane, Grant Millington, Adam Milner, Greg Minikin, Joel Monaghan, Ben Roberts, Denny Solomona, Gadwin Springer, Jake WebsterLeeds Rhinos: Zak Hardaker, Tom Briscoe, Kallum Watkins Joel Moon, Ryan Hall, Danny McGuire (c), Rob Burrow, Keith Galloway, Beau Falloon, Adam Cuthbertson, Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Carl Ablett, Liam Sutcliffe, Brett Delaney, Jimmy Keinhorst, Anthony Mullally, Josh Walters, Ash Handley, Brett FerresWatch Castleford v Leeds live on Sky Sports 2 HD on Thursday from 7.30pm.

DeGrom outpitched Jake Peavy in a tantalizing hitless duel that carried into the seventh inning Saturday night before the New York Mets broke loose and beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2.FRANKFURT, Germany -- Bayern Munich set a Bundesliga record and opened up a four-point lead by beating Augsburg 3-0 on Saturday as Borussia Dortmund lost 2-1 in Wolfsburg. Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches. "This record is incredible," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. Elsewhere, Son Heung-min scored a hat trick against his former team for Bayer Leverkusen to beat Hamburger SV 5-3 and level on points with Dortmund. Schalke got two goals from Kevin-Prince Boateng in a come-from-behind 3-1 victory over Werder Bremen. Adrian Ramos scored twice to secure Hertha Berlins 3-2 victory in Hoffenheim, after the visitors squandered a two-goal lead. Bayerns victory broke Hamburgs 36-match unbeaten run from January 1982 to January 1983. Bayern last lost on Oct. 28, 2012, 2-1 against Leverkusen in Munich. With 32 points from 12 matches, Guardiola has the best start of all-time of a coach in the Bundesliga. Bayern is four points clear of Dortmund and Leverkusen, while Wolfsburg is fourth, seven points behind the duo. Dortmund hosts Bayern in the next round, after the international break. Bayern eased past Augsburg after taking an early lead through a goal by Boateng -- the half-brother of Kevin-Prince -- in the fifth minute. Dantes glancing header off a corner landed in front of Boateng at the far post and he turned and drilled a left-foot shot into the opposite corner. Ribery fired a free kick into the upper corner in first-half injury time and Mueller converted a penalty in stoppage time to complete the victory. Dortmund went ahead in Wolfsburg but then fell to its second defeat this week, after losing at home to Arsenal 1-0 in the Champions League. It also lost central defender Neven Subotic to a knee injury shortly before halftime and Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said the Serbia international may have damaged a ligament. Subotic was taken to a hospital for tests. Marco Reus curled a free kick over the wall in injury time of the first half. But Ricardo Rodriguez replied with another free kick goal, swingiing the ball into the area where it took a bounce to fool goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller, who just got his first call-up for Germany at age 33.dddddddddddd Ivica Olic sealed Wolfsburgs fourth straight victory with another long-range shot inside the far post, while Reus hit the post with another free kick. Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski had two penalty calls denied in injury time and Klopp had a heated exchange with officials after the match. Wolfsburg won despite playing without the injured playmaker Diego. "We made it easy for them (Wolfsburg)," Klopp said. The most entertaining game was in Leverkusen, where the home side saw Hamburg come back to level at 2-2 before pulling away again, with Son also setting up one goal and producing a key loss of possession that led to Hamburgs third goal. The South Korea forward scored twice inside the first 16 minutes, both times with his left foot and both times after shaking off Hamburg defender Heiko Westermann. Hamburg fought back with goals from Maximilian Beister and Pierre-Michel Lasogga, before Son completed his hat trick, this time with his right foot, on a deflected pass from Stefan Kiessling. Son then set up Kiessling for Leverkusens fourth goal, before Lasogga got his brace and raised his season total to eight goals. Gonzalo Castro secured Leverkusens victory in the 89th by lobbing the ball over Hamburgs goalkeeper Rene Adler. In Gelsenkirchen, Schalke fell behind on a goal from Felix Kroos, the brother of Bayerns Toni, before Boateng turned the match around with two headers. Substitute Jefferson Farfan put the issue beyond doubt in injury time, knocking in pass from Julian Draxler. Hoffenheim overcame a two-goal deficit, only to see Ramos knock in his second goal with a header in the 84th. Anis Ben-Hatira scored early after being put through by Ramos and the Colombia forward doubled the lead by converting a penalty. Hoffenheim pulled level after Sejad Salihovic first scored from the spot and then fired a free kick into the roof of the net. Ramos was unstoppable, however, rising to score with a header. ' ' '
