PREVIEW: BERWICK v EDINBURGH (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

BERWICK will be chasing Edinburgh’s top four place when the sides meet in the Cab Direct Championship at Shielfield Park tonight (Saturday).

The Monarchs currently occupy a play-off position despite recent postponements at home, whilst the Bandits are only one point behind after winning both home matches so far.

Friday’s derby clash at Armadale was called off but there is a better forecast in the Borders for a meeting which was recently brought forward in the schedule.

Both sides have named full-strength line-ups, and Berwick will be hoping Drew Kemp and Sam Hagon can bring their midweek Premiership form to bear as the Bandits bid to maintain their 100 per cent home league record.

Kemp scored 10+2 in Leicester’s win over King’s Lynn, whilst Hagon notched a best-yet 8+1 for Birmingham at Sheffield.

Berwick won an early-season BSN Series clash with Edinburgh by four points, but the Monarchs were missing big-scoring Swede Victor Palovaara, captain Paco Castagna and Jonatan Grahn on that occasion.

BERWICK: Craig Cook, Sam Hagon, Danyon Hume, Drew Kemp, Peter Kildemand, Dayle Wood, Jack Smith.
EDINBURGH: Victor Palovaara, Kye Thomson, Justin Sedgmen, Paco Castagna, Michael Palm Toft, Jonatan Grahn, Jordy Loftus.

SCB Referee: Chris Gay
