Lewis Bridger and David Howe should return on Saturday to give Berwick Bandits a cutting edge as they entertain Newcastle Diamonds.

Gary Havelock, the club’s team manager, warned the Tyneside that his men were anxious to claim their third win in the SGB Championship.

Havelock said: “Lewis says he should be back on Saturday and David is due back too.

“Newcastle need to look out as we are hungry for more wins now we have a couple under our belts.” Tapes up 7pm.

Meanwhile, Glasgow Tigers travel to Workington Comets on Saturday looking for a road win to boost their bid to keep the pressure on Championship pace-setters Edinburgh Monarchs.

Captain Aaron Summers is relishing the chance to go head-to-head with former Monarchs captain Craig Cook who is the opposition No 1 and the top man in the current averages.
