There is no rest for the Edinburgh Wolves as the BAFANL fixtures keep the big hits coming. After the disappointing events of last weekend Head Coach, Don Edmonston and his team have had little time to prepare for the visit of Tamworth Phoenix Saturday.
The game against East Kilbride, which was lost in the 4th quarter, will have no doubt sapped some of the early season confidence from the Wolves camp. But with hosting last year’s Premiership North champions, the Wolves can seek solace in the fact that they are massive underdogs with nothing to lose.
Tamworth opened their campaign last weekend with a resounding defeat of the Lancashire Wolverines, 52-0, and will look to continue their dominance of the Premiership North with their trip to Edinburgh.
The real question for the game is if we will see the Wolves return to the high-flying, high scoring offense that they have become synonymous with or the more conservative game they played against East Kilbride last weekend. The Edinburgh Wolves, returning to Meggetland this week, after playing at Peffermill during the playoffs and last weekend.
This weekend should prove to be an interesting trial for the Wolves and a great opportunity for the team and staff to gauge themselves against the bets team in the North and, based on last year’s ranking, the 3rd best team in the country.
The game kicks off at 14:30, tomorrow the 13th of May, and the gates open 13:30. Tickets are £6 or £15 for a season ticket that will include this game and the remaining three home games.
