PREVIEW: WORKINGTON v OXFORD (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

WORKINGTON and Oxford are both chasing their second league wins of the season when they clash at the GT Tyres Arena today (Saturday, 3pm).

The Comets were successful at home to Scunthorpe last time out whilst the Cheetahs got off the mark in their home match against Edinburgh.

There is a riding order switch for the hosts with Vinnie Foord now in the top five and Niklas Holm Jakobsen at reserve, with rider replacement in operation for Craig Cook under their 28-day facility.

For the visitors, Edward Kennett makes his debut but Luke Killeen is not ready to return from rib damage and they also use rider replacement.

Workington boss James Denham said: “They have a couple of experienced riders in the reserve berths, both of whom have made guest appearances for the Comets this season.

“That said, I’m confident that if we perform as we can, we should claim our second league victory.”

Cheetahs manager Peter Schroeck said: “We’re looking to be competitive. It’s a great racetrack up there – and all the boys are looking forward to the meeting.

“We’ll give it our best shot and see if we can come away with some league points. With a little luck in our direction, I can’t see why we can’t do that.”

WORKINGTON: Jonas Jeppesen, Vinnie Foord, Craig Cook R/R, Tate Zischke, Troy Batchelor, Niklas Holm Jakobsen, Max Perry.

OXFORD: Sam Masters, Luke Killeen R/R, Anders Rowe, Edward Kennett, Mitch McDiarmid, Darryl Ritchings, Dayle Wood.
