PREVIEW: LEICESTER v PLYMOUTH (NDT)

LEICESTER Fox Cubs will have two new signings in place for today’s (Sunday) National Development Trophy clash with Plymouth.

They have brought in Freddy Hodder and Jordy Loftus to replace retired duo Sonny Springer and Caydin Martin.

And they face a Centurions side with several Leicester connections including current Lion Cubs riders Ben Trigger, Ryan Ingram and Eli Meadows.

Fox Cubs manager Jen Crossland said: “We’re really pleased to bring the two riders in. Freddy was available with an average lower than Sonny and he wanted the extra meetings so that was a no-brainer really.

“I did give a bit of a clue away about Jordy last Sunday, but to say he had never seen the track before he rode amazingly, and we’re looking forward to them both being with us.

“We have two great sets of lads to work with, and Stewart (Dickson) supports me a lot. Seeing the young kids develop is what it’s all about.”

LEICESTER: Will Cairns, Mason Watson, Ace Pijper, Stene Pijper, Freddy Hodder, Max Broadhurst, Jordy Loftus.
PLYMOUTH: Joe Thompson, Sam Woods, Ryan Ingram, Eli Meadows, Ben Trigger, Harley Driscoll-Freeman, Kai Ward.

SCB Referee: Simon Humphrey-Kennett
