POSTPONED: POOLE v OXFORD (CAB DIRECT KO CUP FINAL)

POOLE have taken an early decision to put their home leg of the Cab Direct KO Cup Final back by a week due to an adverse weather forecast.

With rain expected for much of today (Wednesday) in Dorset, the Pirates’ clash with Oxford will now take place next Wednesday (October 23), although the two sides are still scheduled to meet tomorrow (Thursday) at Cowley in what will become the first leg.

Promoter Dan Ford said: “The weather forecasts are far from favourable and the chances of the track being even rideable is remote, and we certainly want this meeting to be the epic that it promises.

“So we have taken the decision to defer the meeting until next Wednesday, and with the early announcement hopefully any travel plans our colleagues from Oxford, and those Poole supporters who come from outside the region, may have made can be cancelled.”
