PREVIEW: WOLVERHAMPTON v BRUMMIES PAST & PRESENT (Ch)

WOLVERHAMPTON race their first home meeting of the season as they host a Birmingham Past & Present side at Monmore tonight (Monday).

Former Brummies Chris Harris and Ben Barker are added to the visitors’ line-up, whilst Steve Worrall and Drew Kemp make their first appearances for the hosts.

Wolves promoter Chris Van Straaten said: “I was really pleased to see Birmingham survive and we are delighted to welcome them to Monmore Green for the opening night of our 2022 campaign.

“It’s also a special meeting to get us started because it’s in memory of a 90-year-old who was not only a team manager once upon a time for Birmingham, but was also a regular here at Monmore.

“So for our 2022 side to get out on track for the first time against Birmingham competing for the George Wallett Trophy is a great way to get the season up and running.”

WOLVERHAMPTON: Sam Masters, Luke Becker, Nick Morris, Ryan Douglas, Steve Worrall, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint, Joe Thompson (No.8).
BIRMINGHAM: Chris Harris, Ashley Morris, Claus Vissing, Josh Auty, Ben Barker, James Shanes, James Pearson
