PIRATES SET SEMI-FINAL DATES

POOLE have agreed home dates for two major semi-finals as they look to remain in contention for a trophy treble this season.

The Pirates will host Scunthorpe in the last four of the Cab Direct KO Cup on July 24, whilst Workington will visit Wimborne Road in the BSN Series on August 21.

Promoter Dan Ford said: “We have been working hard behind the scenes to sort out dates for these two competitions and I am pleased that we have now been able to secure our home legs.

“At the present time we cannot give any insight as to when the prospective away legs will be diarised for, but I would like to assure all our supporters that we are determined to get this resolved as soon as possible, not least because we are determined to progress into the finals of both competitions, the same ambition we have, of course, in the league title race.”
