PREVIEW: OXFORD v BERWICK (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

OXFORD look to climb into the top three of the Cab Direct Championship by taking that place away from Berwick when they host the Bandits tonight (Wednesday).

The Cheetahs are looking to recover from two home defeats, with a recent win at Scunthorpe assisting their cause, whilst the Bandits hold a play-off position at present thanks to their 100 per cent home record.

The home side bring in Zach Cook to guest for Jordan Jenkins, who is out with knee ligament damage.

Meanwhile the Bandits have Craig Cook back from illness and they operate rider replacement for Danyon Hume after he was injured at the weekend.

Oxford boss Peter Schroeck said: “We won’t be taking anything for granted against Berwick. We are seeking a victory, and beyond that, building up a lead for the aggregate point ready for when we travel up there next month.

 “It’s the first time that Cheetahs have been in action as a team for a few weeks. We showed what we can do as a team at Scunthorpe. We had almost our whole team that day.

“We were just missing Jordan and now sadly he will be out of action for a while longer. Knees are complicated things – we already know that with Dan Gilkes. Jordan is awaiting the results from some further tests and then we’ll go from there.”

OXFORD: Sam Masters, Jonas Knudsen, Zach Cook, Mitch McDiarmid, Cameron Heeps, Francis Gusts, Luke Killeen.

BERWICK: Craig Cook, Sam Hagon, Danyon Hume r/r, Drew Kemp, Peter Kildemand, Dayle Wood, Jack Smith.

SCB Referee: Chris Durno
