PREVIEW: LEICESTER v BUXTON (WSRA NDL)

LEICESTER race their second WSRA National Development League fixture of the season when they host Buxton at the Hydroscand Arena, Beaumont Park today (Sunday).

The Lion Cubs are unbeaten in all competitions so far this season including home and away wins over the Bulls in previous challenge matches.

They go into the meeting without Max Perry who was on SGP2 duty yesterday, whilst the visitors name their full one-to-seven including recent signing Jack Roberts at reserve.

Leicester manager Jen Crossland said: “The team has been working together exactly as we hoped it would, and there’s been some great improvement from several riders which is what it’s all about at this level.

“But I do think it’s safe to say this will be a tougher match than the last time Buxton were here, especially with them having brought in Jack Roberts at reserve.”

Bulls boss Laurence Rogers said: “We are going with the intentions of putting in a strong performance and hopefully we can keep things tight.

“We are stronger than we were earlier in the season and look forward to putting on a better display for our supporters.”

LEICESTER: Ben Morley, Tom Spencer, Max Perry R/R, Ryan Ingram, Freddy Hodder, Eli Meadows, Seth Norman.

BUXTON: Alfie Bowtell, Jack Shimelt, Luke Harris, Arran Butcher, Jack Smith, Ryan Ashcroft, Jack Roberts.

SCB Referee: Paul Carrington
