PREVIEW: BERWICK v OXFORD (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

BERWICK and Oxford both bid to bounce back from Friday disappointment when they meet in the Cab Direct Championship at Shielfield Park tonight (Saturday).

The Bandits suffered a heavy BSN Series semi-final defeat at Redcar, whilst the Cheetahs went down by 20 points at Glasgow.

The visitors do welcome back Mitch McDiramid, who missed the Ashfield match due to Polish commitments, whilst the home side have Reid Battye back at home for the first time since his early-season injury.

Oxford manager Peter Schroeck said: “I told the boys to forget about the (Glasgow) meeting and now focus on Berwick. We’ve got Mitch back, and we’re back to our usual line-up.

“We’ve travelled a long way north this weekend, and the meeting at Berwick is a chance for us to go home with something to show for our efforts.”

BERWICK: Peter Kildemand, Jye Etheridge, Victor Palovaara, Jordan Jenkins, Nick Morris, Jack Smith, Reid Battye.

OXFORD: Sam Masters, Luke Killeen, Edward Kennett, Mitch McDiarmid, Anders Rowe, Darryl Ritchings, Dayle Wood.

SCB Referee: Chris Durno
