KYLE Howarth’s Testimonial will now take place at Owlerton Stadium on Wednesday, June 12 (7.30 pm).

The Sheffield skipper has agreed the new date after the original event was washed out in March.

Said Howarth: “Firstly I’d like to thank the stadium and the people behind the scenes for working together to get this new date.

“We know Wednesday’s aren’t a regular Premiership racenight but we wanted to give the supporters just as strong a line-up as we’d first got and we felt this gave us the best chance possible of doing that.”

The Tru7 Group Tigers are set to return to home shale this Thursday (April 18, 7.30 pm) when they host King’s Lynn in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership.
