PREVIEW: LEICESTER v MILDENHALL (NDL)

LEICESTER face Mildenhall in the National Development League tonight (Saturday) in what has become the first league match of the season for the visitors.

The defending champions were frustrated by the weather at West Row last week when they were on course for an opening win over Plymouth.

The Lion Cubs have recalled Kai Ward as an injury replacement for Max Perry, whilst James Shanes makes his Fen Tigers debut as he covers for Ryan Kinsley, with rider replacement operating for Sam Bebee.

Cubs boss Dave Howard said: “Last Saturday was strong start to the season at home, and then at Kent despite Max’s injury the team battled for every place.

“Mildenhall will be another challenging meeting with Jason Edwards leading the Fen Tigers, and Kai returns to our line-up whilst Max is sidelined.

“With the support of the Leicester fans we will be looking for those league points once again.”

LEICESTER: Dan Thompson, Mickie Simpson, Connor Coles, Tom Spencer, Joe Thompson, Kai Ward, Vinnie Foord.
MILDENHALL: Jason Edwards, Sam Bebee, Jack Kingston, Alex Spooner, James Shanes, Josh Warren, Luke Muff.
