CHEETAHS: NO COMPLACENCY

OXFORD boss Peter Schroeck insists there will be no complacency when the Cheetahs look to reach the Cab Direct Championship Grand Final this week.

The Cowley side won 46-44 at Scunthorpe last Friday, putting themselves in a strong position to go through on home territory in Wednesday’s return fixture, and set up a title decider against Poole.

Schroeck said: “It was a great result at Scunthorpe it and puts us in command of the tie.

“When I was speaking to Jamie (Courtney, Oxford promoter) in the lead-up to the meeting, we discussed how strong Scunthorpe are around their own track and that we could have ended the night 10 to 12 points down and needed to make that up at Oxford.

“To instead enter the home leg two points ahead is very pleasing. But there will be no complacency from us.

“We don’t think we’ve got in the bag, far from it, because there’s still 15 races to go and a job to be done at Oxford on Wednesday.”
