PREVIEW: GLASGOW v BERWICK (CAB DIRECT CHAMP)
GLASGOW and Berwick are set to meet twice in the space of 24 hours this weekend, starting at Ashfield tonight (Friday).
The Tigers are defending Cab Direct Championship holders but are yet to hit top form in 2024, albeit they have only raced three league matches so far.
Meanwhile the Bandits are fifth in the table but have to compensate for two home defeats if they are to make the top four, and they are without three of their regular septet.
Injured duo Rory Schlein and Bastian Borke are replaced by Erik Riss and Sam Hagon, whilst Jason Garrad guests for Freddy Hodder who is on European U19 duty with Great Britain.
Bandits boss Stewart Dickson said: “Our first goal is to keep things close with one eye on the aggregate point.
“Glasgow ran us close at Shielfield earlier in the season despite only having six riders while we did reasonably well at Ashfield despite missing a track specialist in Lewis Kerr.
“We let Scunthorpe beat us at home, a meeting we should never have lost, so we have to get the season back on track. There are still 20 points available to us this season. We have to start picking them up.”
GLASGOW: Chris Harris, Paul Starke, Leon Flint, James Pearson, Steve Worrall, Jack Smith, Ace Pijper.
BERWICK: Lewis Kerr, Danyon Hume, Erik Riss, Drew Kemp, Jye Etheridge, Jason Garrad, Sam Hagon.
SCB Referee: Jim McGregor
