Berwick Bandits have re-shuffled their line-up after the release of the new rider averages and are keen to follow up last Saturday’s ten-point victory over the Peterborough Panthers. They welcome the Redcar Bears to Shielfield Park on Saturday (tapes-up 7pm).
Dany Gappmaier now rides at number two and Jye Etheridge takes his place at reserve but is sidelined for the match with shoulder injury.
Jack Parkinson-Blackburn deputises and other moves see captain Kevin Doolan at No five with Lewis Bridger at four and David Howe at three.
Ben Barker may be sidelined for Redcar after an accident at home and fans can also enjoy a junior match between the Border Raiders and the Redcar Bear Cubs which follows the main event.
Elsewhere, Glasgow Tigers have taken at least a point in their ten Championship matches so far this season but team manager Stewart Dickson was disappointed not to have taken more at Sheffield Tigers.
The Scots came within two points of winning in Yorkshire on Thursday and now prepare to entertain Peterborough Panthers on Saturday (tapes-up 7pm).
Dickson argued that when you get so close at 46-44 there is a touch of wanting a wee bit more however he was encouraged by the performance.
