The next match on our away tour takes us to Sheffield on Thursday evening and needless to say the Tigers have strengthened their team for our arrival.

Italian Nico Covatti, an eye catching performer in the recent World Cup, makes his debut for the Tigers and he is joined by David Bellego as a guest for the injured Leigh Lanham. They will also use rider replacement for Andre Compton and have James Sarjeant covering For Josh Bates at reserve.

Liam Carr will deputise for Aaron Fox for the Scotwaste Monarchs in an otherwise unchanged Monarchs line up.

Sheffield sit at the foot of the Premier League and we are now second but any league points secured tonight will take us back to the top.

There are heavy rain showers in the area so let's hope they all avoid Owlerton
