EASTER SUNDAY PREVIEW

NEWCASTLE have booked Chris Harris to stand in at No.1 in today’s (Sunday) KO Cup clash with Edinburgh at Brough Park.

Harris comes in for the injured Bradley Wilson-Dean as the Diamonds look to bounce back from a heavy away defeat in the league at Glasgow on Friday.

The Monarchs are awaiting news on the fitness of Paco Castagna after a Heat 15 incident at Berwick where he was stuck by the bike of team-mate Josh Pickering.

Meanwhile Mildenhall race their first team meeting of the season when they face a Poultec Select side at West Row.

The Fen Tigers operate rider replacement as they seek a new signing to replace Elliot Kelly, whilst the Select side include two sets of brothers – twins Dan and Joe Thompson, and McGurk duo Harry and Sam.

And Kent stage the first home meeting of their new era at Iwade with the Royals taking on a Thurrock Hammers Select – as efforts continue to seek a venue for the former Lakeside club.

Championship regulars Jordan Jenkins and Nathan Ablitt are included for the visitors, as well as a speedway return for former Kent rider Jack Kingston.
