PREVIEW: GLASGOW v POOLE (Champ Grand Final)

GLASGOW and Poole are all set to fight out the first-ever Championship Grand Final to be staged in November.

The first leg takes place at Ashfield tonight (Tuesday) with the Wimborne Road return set for Thursday after the tie was previously hampered by the weather.

The Tigers name a full-strength side whilst Zach Cook has again been drafted in for the Pirates as their guest for the injured Stefan Nielsen.

Glasgow captain Ricky Wells said: “Poole are a tough team, but I believe Glasgow are also a strong team.

“I think the key to beating Poole will be a strong home leg. I don’t want to put a number on it, but everyone knows they need to be at their best.

“If we can have a solid showing at reserve and restrain some of the heat-leaders at home, I think we have more than a chance.”

Pirates skipper Danny King said: “Whichever club you race for, you obviously have the goal of winning titles, but even more so when you sign for Poole as they are a great club and have enjoyed a lot of success over the years.

“We did the job in the Cup last week but that is only half of it. We want to win the league title too, but we know how tough that is going to be.

“We have two very big meetings this week and so just need to push on like we have been doing all year.”

GLASGOW: Craig Cook, Broc Nicol, Sam Jensen, Tom Brennan, Ricky Wells, Marcin Nowak, Connor Bailey.
POOLE: Steve Worrall, Danyon Hume, Rory Schlein, Ben Cook, Danny King, Zach Cook, Benjamin Basso.
