PREVIEW: PLYMOUTH v BIRMINGHAM (CJL)

PLYMOUTH stage the first meeting of the new Championship Jubilee League competition when they face Birmingham at the Coliseum tonight (Tuesday).

The Gladiators have declared Kyle Howarth as a guest for the injured Edward Kennett, and they await fitness news on Michael Palm Toft.

Birmingham track former Brummies Ulrich Ostergaard and Paco Castagna for Josh Auty (injured) and Claus Vissing (withholding services), and Jason Edwards steps in for James Shanes who is on FIM Long Track duty.

Brummies boss Laurence Rogers said: “With everything going on at the moment we’re definitely depleted and we’re almost like a Brummies Select for the time being.

“Nevertheless, it is what it is, this Jubilee mini-league is a chance to press reset for us if you like a little bit and there’s group points up for grabs.”

PLYMOUTH: Ben Barker, Alfie Bowtell, Kyle Howarth, Michael Palm Toft (if fit), Hans Andersen, Harry McGurk, Ben Morley.
BIRMINGHAM: Ulrich Ostergaard, Stefan Nielsen, Paco Castagna, Ashley Morris, Justin Sedgmen, Jason Edwards, James Pearson.
