THURSDAY PREVIEW: TIGER CUBS v BELLE VUE COLTS

Wednesday September 11, 2024
SHEFFIELD’s Tiger Cubs race their final home fixture of the WSRA NDL season on Thursday (September 12, 7.30pm) when they host Belle Vue Colts at Owlerton.

The sides are currently level in the third tier table, both sitting on seven league points from seven outings.

In the Steel City so far, the Autocraft Tiger Cubs have recorded a six point win over Middlesbrough and were narrowly beaten 46-44 by eventual champions Leicester last time out.

And joint team manager Paul Tatam is expecting another close contest against the Colts this time around.

“We've still got a couple of away fixtures to come after this one, but it would be nice if we could go out with a win at Sheffield,” he said.

“Belle Vue have got a solid team though and as we know ourselves from when we used him as a guest at Oxford not so long back, having young William Cairns at reserve in this league is a real trump card.

“So we're expecting another exciting and entertaining meeting and good luck to all of the lads!”

In addition, ahead of next week’s ROWE Motor Oil Premiership play-off semi-final, Tru7 Group Tigers’ favourite Josh Pickering will be available for photographs alongside the Knockout Cup trophy inside the stadium between 6.15pm and 7.15pm.

Admission is just £15 for all adults and concessions whilst all juniors aged 16 and under are admitted absolutely FREE!

A reminder that Season Tickets are NOT valid for NDL fixtures but supporters can still show them at the programme stand to receive a free 16-page programme. Gates open at 6pm.

Supporters should also note that the Carvery Restaurant and the Panorama Room will NOT be open for NDL fixtures, but seating is available in the Lower Bar and Snack Bar which will be open.
