After facing one of the leagues leading lights last week, it is the team that many consider to be the favourites who will descend on Ashfield this Sunday. The Workington Comets are many people’s tips to take the crown off the champions, and they call upon the services of a Glasgow old boy to suppleent their squad with youngster Kyle Howarth missing due to injury. Robert Ksiezak will come in at reserve and will be keen to get one over his former charges.
The “Western Commercial” Tigers will be keen to get some points on the board in the wake of the draw with Newcastle but come into this fixture knowing that they were well beat by the Comets earlier in the season. Co-Promoter Stewart Dickson knows his troops will need to up their game in order to upset the odds:
“I know that if we are to win this meeting we are going to have to produce something very special but I still believe we are capable of that. To me the Comets look like the best team in the league and are going to take some stopping but I believe there is enough about us to take a win. We are racing pretty well at home in patches but perhaps not consistent enough throughout a meeting, with a few crucial points being squandered and that we have to sort out and quick.
I am glad we are at full strength for this one as we all need to work as Pairs when we are racing in order to get heat advantages rather than just the occasional heat win, so that is our rallying cry for this week, make sure we win the battles for the minor places in the races too.
I see that the Comets have cleverly chosen Robert Ksiezak as a guest and he will certainly be keen to show us a thing or two so that adds to the excitement for me, but I have faith in Jayden and Mason and feel that they can take care of the points at reserve.”
TEAMS:
Glasgow – Joe Screen, Chris Mills, Josh Grajczonek, Filip Sitera, James Grieves, Jayden Omalley, Mason Campton
Workington – Richard Lawson, Kenny Ingalls, Rene Bach, Adam Roynon, Rusty Harrison, Gary Irving, Robert Ksiezak.
