PAIRS SWITCHED TO LEICESTER

LEICESTER have stepped in to stage Round 5 of the Premiership Pairs next week.

The meeting will take place at the Paul Chapman & Sons Arena on Tuesday October 25, replacing the scheduled event at Sheffield on Monday.

The Tigers are now using that date to stage their final Premiership league match of the season against Ipswich, and stadium unavailability at Owlerton means the Pairs has been switched.

Ipswich currently lead the series with a 12-point advantage after winning each of the last three rounds.

The Premiership Pairs finale takes place as scheduled at Belle Vue on Thursday October 27.
