PREVIEW: PLYMOUTH v SCUNTHORPE (Cab Direct Champ)

PLYMOUTH and Scunthorpe get the Cab Direct Championship league campaign underway with tonight’s (Tuesday) clash at the Coliseum.

The Scorpions make the long trip in optimistic mood after a successful BSN Series group section saw them progress to the semi-finals.

The Gladiators are at full strength whilst Lee Complin, who had a spell with Plymouth last season, guests for the visitors in place of the injured Zaine Kennedy.

Scunthorpe boss Rob Godfrey said: “It was fantastic to have a winning start to the season in the BSN Series, with victory in our opening three meetings, while arguably it was the fourth meeting that was even more impressive – a battling performance at Redcar to take the aggregate bonus point to win the group and progress in the competition.

“We take that momentum into a busy week this week, and that week starts with us launching our Cab Direct Championship campaign at Plymouth.

“The Gladiators are not to be under-estimated, especially around their own specialist circuit, but I feel we every chance to return from the long journey down there with a win.”

PLYMOUTH: Kyle Howarth, Dan Gilkes, Paul Starke, Ben Barker, Richie Worrall, Jake Turner, Ben Trigger.
SCUNTHORPE: Ryan Douglas, Simon Lambert, Connor Mountain, Jake Allen, Michael Palm Toft, Lee Complin, Joe Thompson.
