PREVIEW: BUXTON v KING’S LYNN (WSRA NDL)
BUXTON bid for a second successive home win in the WSRA National Development League when they face King’s Lynn at Hi-Edge today (Sunday).
The Bulls overcame Oxford last week and now track a revised riding order with Jack Roberts moving into the main body of the team whilst Nathan Ablitt guests for the injured Jack Smith at No.1.
The visitors are looking to complete a home and away double, and they welcome back Ollie Binnns after a wrist injury, whilst Stene Pijper is in for Sam Woods once again, and Jack Kingston and Kyran Lyden are also sidelined.
Buxton manager Laurence Rogers said: “It will be a tough meeting and one we are capable of winning. We are in good form and boosted by the win over Oxford last weekend.
“We have had to shuffle the pack a little with the new green sheet averages, but we have riders that are quite capable of scoring well and I’m hopeful that we can get the win and the aggregate point.”
King’s Lynn boss Jason Pipe said: “If we can win at Buxton, we’d also take the aggregate point and that would take us up to second place in the league table.
“Ollie has been like a bear with a sore head over these past few weeks he’s not been able to ride and is very much looking forward to getting back to racing again. I’ll do my best to try and not give him seven rides in his first meeting back!”
BUXTON: Nathan Ablitt, Arran Butcher, Luke Harris, Jack Roberts, Alfie Bowtell, Will Boraston, Jack Shimelt.
KING’S LYNN: Simon Lambert, Jack Kingston r/r, Dylan Huthwaite, Mickie Simpson, Jake Mulford, Stene Pijper, Ollie Binns, Owen Booth (no.8).
SCB Referee: Michael Breckon
