PREVIEW: OXFORD v BERWICK (NDL)

OXFORD look to make it eight matches unbeaten in the National Development League when they face Berwick at Cowley tonight (Wednesday).

Victory will also take the Chargers to the top of the NDL table ahead of their trip to rivals Leicester on Saturday.

The Bullets have injury issues to contend with, as they bring in Ben Trigger to guest for Greg Blair whilst rider replacement is in operation for Connor Coles. In addition, reserve Mason Watson is unwell with Sam Woolley coming in to guest.

Oxford boss Peter Schroeck said: “Berwick have had a difficult season, but I don’t believe their position in the table represents the team’s quality.

“They pushed us hard at Shielfield Park in June and we had to rely on a last-heat maximum to secure the points.

“Therefore, we can’t rest on our laurels and assume our form in recent weeks will cancel out any threat they pose. We’ve got to keep it professional, and we’ve got to ride to our full potential.

“Doing so should place us in a good position before visiting Leicester on Saturday which will be our biggest challenge of the season to date.”

OXFORD: Jordan Jenkins, Jacob Clouting, Ryan Kinsley, Jody Scott, Henry Atkins, Luke Killeen, Jason Garrad.
BERWICK: Connor Coles r/r, Jamie Halder, Ben Trigger, Danny Phillips, Steve Boxall, Kieran Douglas, Sam Woolley.
