Glasgow Tigers V Scunthorpe Scorpions Pl Sun 12/5/13@3p.m.

[Paulco 7,080]

So assuming we emerged unscathed after our trip east to the Scotwaste Skip , we will welcome the reigning Premier League Champions to our humble little track of excitement this Sunday .

Been a bit of a stuttering start to the defence of their title with home draws against Ipswich and a Craig Cook inspired Workington ,in the TV match ,before a narrow win against Craig Cook's other team on Bank Holiday Monday .

Scunthorpe boast an all-English heat leader trio in the shape of veteran David Howe , the exciting Josh Auty and the emerging Ashley Birks . They are backed up by Scandanavians Thomas Jorgensen and Michael Palm Tree with rookie reserve Ryan Douglas and recent acquisition Lewis Blackbird making up the septet .

So it has all the makings of another classic .

Teams should be -

Glasgow

1 Joe Screen

2 Henning Bager

3 James Wright

4 Joey Ringwood

5 James Grieves

6 Harley Horwood

7 Joe Jacobs

Scunthorpe

1 Josh Auty

2 Thomas Jorgensen

3 Michael Palm Tree

4 Ashley Birks

5 David Howe

6 Ryan Douglas

7 Lewis Blackbird

Another close run thing looks on the cards , let's hope it's as entertaining as last week .

Can see the Score been something similar to last year.

The Scorps also won 47-43 at Ashfield during 2012 (in the League Cup)... a repeat of that scoreline will do very nicely.

 

All the best

Bit concerned about putting Ringwood at No4, particularly in ht14. Surely it would be better to put him to No3 and have James Wright at No4. Having Bager at No2 makes sense though No8 would have been better after last Sunday. The only way is up!

Hope this beats the weather.

 

The Premier League's No 1 team v Scotland's No 1 team - should be a cracker.

The rainfall radar on Met Office gives rain around Glasgow but doesn't hit until 7. Then blows over quickly to give a fair evening so it all depends if the track was prepared earlier for a shower but give it a chance & run it a bit late. Do you have a curfew & at what time?
