KURTZ: BRING ON THE GRAND FINAL!

BELLE Vue captain Brady Kurtz says his side would love to clinch the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership title at home.

Kurtz leads the table-topping Aces into the Grand Final against fierce rivals Sheffield, with the tie getting underway at Owlerton this Thursday.

The return is in Manchester next Monday (October 12) with Belle Vue’s previous two title wins having seen them secure the prize with the second leg away from home – including in 2022 at the expense of Sheffield.

Kurtz said: “Obviously it was cool the first year that we did it, and in ’24 (at Leicester), but we’ve never done it at home.

“That would be a much better deal and I’m super excited to bring the Grand Final here, and I’d love it to be a good one.

“It would be something pretty special but we’re pretty far away from it at the moment, and we need to focus.”
