Berwick Bandits host near neighbours Newcastle Diamonds on Saturday and the Borders club defend an unbeaten home record against the Tyneside combine this season.
They drew 45-45 in March in the Tyne/Tweed Trophy and Bandits won 53-40 in the league in June.
Bandits are, of course, buoyed by their success on aggregate in The Border Trophy over Workington Comets last weekend. Tapes up 7pm
Meanwhile, in the West of Scotland Glasgow have a must-win clash with Championship pace-setters Sheffield Tigers on Saturday (tapes-up 7pm).
In-form Reserve Jack Smith told Tigers success-hungry fans: “We’ve not through in the towel.”
He made the comment after the Scots misfired 54-36 at pace-setting Sheffield Tigers on Thursday.
Smith sees no reason why the West of Scotland club can’t turn the tables at the Peugeot Ashfield Stadium.
