PREVIEW: EDINBURGH v REDCAR (PO QF)

EDINBURGH make a third attempt to stage their play-off quarter-final with Redcar at Armadale tonight (Tuesday).

The Monarchs lead by 12 points going into the meeting, with a semi-final against Glasgow awaiting the winners.

The Bears will operate rider-replacement for James Sarjeant who crashed out last Friday and have Ben Barker on stand-by to guest for Michael Palm Toft should the Dane be ruled out.

Edinburgh boss Alex Harkess said: “We haven’t completed the quarter-final yet, so we want to get that out of the way before thinking ahead.

“If we are heading for Glasgow again in the play-offs, I am sure we will do better than we did last Sunday in the Knockout Cup.”

Redcar youngster Jordan Jenkins said: “We can go up there with the pressure on them as we have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

“Edinburgh are a good side, especially at home but they have lost at home this season so pulling it back is definitely achievable for us.”

EDINBURGH: Sam Masters, Anders Rowe, Kye Thomson, Josh Pickering, Richie Worrall, Drew Kemp, Jason Edwards.
REDCAR: Charles Wright, James Sarjeant R/R, Jake Allen, Michael Palm Toft/Ben Barker, Lewis Kerr, Ryan Kinsley, Jordan Jenkins.
