PREVIEW: POOLE v GLASGOW (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)

POOLE promoter Dan Ford expects a response from Glasgow and Chris Harris when the sides meet at Wimborne Road tonight (Wednesday).

The Pirates won the reverse Cab Direct Championship clash at Ashfield last Friday in a last-heat decider to move four points clear at the top of the table.

Their unbeaten run at Wimborne Road stretches way back to June 2022, a total of 40 matches, and another win over the Tigers would take them closer to confirming a play-off place.

Pirates are hopeful that Tobias Thomsen will be fit to race after crashing out last week, whilst the Tigers bring in Ben Barker to guest for unwell former Poole star Steve Worrall.

Ford said: “I think we could be in for an exciting meeting on Wednesday night. You always know that when Bomber is in turn then there will be some drama.

“He is one of those riders who is simply loved wherever he rides and his battles on Friday at Glasgow with Richard (Lawson), Ben (Cook) and Tom (Brennan) in particular was something to behold.

“He enjoys racing at Poole as much as anywhere, and so we could be in for a real feast on Wednesday night.”

POOLE: Richard Lawson, Tobias Thomsen, Ben Cook, Zach Cook, Tom Brennan, Sam Hagon, Vinnie Foord.
GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Jack Smith, Leon Flint, Matic Ivacic, Ben Barker, James Pearson, Jason Garrad.
SCB Referee: Chris Gay
