PREVIEW: MIDDLESBROUGH v OXFORD (WSRA NDL)

MIDDLESBROUGH host Oxford in the WSRA NDL at Redcar tonight (Friday) with the defending champions forced into three changes.

Jody Scott and Ashton Vale are both ruled out by injury whilst Jason Garrad is on Championship duty with Glasgow. Max Perry, Matt Marson and flying youngster William Cairns come in as guests.

The Tigers are at full strength and No.1 Jake Mulford is expecting the visitors to pose a real threat.

Mulford said: “I think the Chargers will be our toughest test so far, especially with Oxford tracking William Cairns as a guest. However, I’m sure if we stick together as a team then we will be okay.

“The later heats of Tigers meetings haven’t really been going to plan recently as we haven’t scored as many points as we would have liked to score.

“If we can start becoming more consistent in the later heats then that can be the difference maker for the side.”

MIDDLESBROUGH: Jake Mulford, Kai Ward, Danny Phillips, Jamie Halder, Ben Trigger, Ben Rathbone, William Hocaniuk.
OXFORD: Luke Killeen, Alex Spooner, Matt Marson, William Cairns, Max Perry, Jacob Clouting, Senna Summers.
SCB Referee: Graeme Hunter
