HARRIS OUT TO BREAK POOLE HEARTS

CHRIS HARRIS is out to break Poole hearts once again in a Play-Off Grand Final. 

The Allied Vehicles Tigers’ No.1 beat the Pirates on their home patch to win the league for Coventry 13 years ago. 

Now he wants to do it again and help Glasgow defend a 14-point lead in the Championship Grand Final second leg on Wednesday night. 

Harris said: “This team has got a lot of fight. That showed against Oxford and then here tonight. 

“There’s a long way to go yet. We’ve got to defend 14 points and they are tough round their home track. But there’s no reason why we can’t go down there and win with the roll we are on at the minute. 

“We know what the track is going to be like, it will be slick, I’ve never known it to be anything different. If it’s grippy then perfect. 

“Whatever they throw at us, it’s the same for everyone, we’ll do all that we can do. 

“I redeemed myself when I won the league with Poole in 2018 after breaking their hearts in 2010. 

“I’ve got to try and do it again this year. I owe this one to Glasgow. Let’s break their hearts again.”

Former Poole rider and now Glasgow star Ben Basso says the side have belief to do the job. 

He added: “We just need to keep cool heads now. It is a tough match on Wednesday. 

“But we have to believe in ourselves and take it as every other meeting. We can’t get stressed out, keep cool and treat like any normal meeting. 

“We will treat it like we are starting from scratch with no lead and hopefully go there and do the business. 

“We were strong tonight, we made a good start and started smashing them. It was about keeping cool, we were the better team. We are strong and we have the right mentality. 

“It feels like this team can go down to Poole and do it.”
