LIONS STILL FIGHTING

LEICESTER star Ryan Douglas is adamant there will still be a big battle for the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership title when the second leg of the Grand Final takes place on Monday (September 30).

The Lions face an 18-point deficit against Belle Vue after going down 54-36 at the National Speedway Stadium this week, before Thursday’s scheduled second leg was postponed – but their home wins over the Aces this season have been by margins of 16 and 20 points.

Douglas said: “We’re still hungry and we still hope we can do something in the second leg, and we’ll see what happens.

“It’s definitely still do-able, everyone steps up in the play-offs but we’re going to have to be firing 100 per cent.”
