PIRATES BEWARE OF BOMBER!

POOLE promoter Dan Ford says his side must deal with the big-night record of Glasgow No.1 Chris Harris when the sides meet in the first leg of the BSN Series Final on Wednesday.

Harris has been responsible for numerous thrilling efforts in crucial meetings both for and against the Pirates down the years, and the Tigers will look to his inspiration when they visit Dorset.

Fors is determined to see his side build up a lead to take to Ashfield, with the second leg now set for July 21.

He said: “We know how difficult it will be against the Tigers who, like ourselves, have once again put together a strong outfit. They are solid enough with the likes of (Benjamin) Basso, Tom Brennan and Claus Vissing but they also have that secret weapon of Bomber.

“Nobody can fail to recognise the pure class of that guy and especially when he is on stage here at Poole strutting his stuff. He has been responsible for breaking us before, and equally been a home hero.

“It doesn’t matter with Bomber, he only has one setting and that is an out-and-out racer who so regularly produces the goods which always makes him a pleasure to watch.”
