SCUNTHORPE head to the West Country this evening for their opening Cab Direct Championship fixture of the season against Plymouth (7pm).
Following qualification for the BSN Series semi-finals, the Scorpions will be looking to open their league campaign with victory against the Gladiators.
Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It was fantastic to have a winning start to the season in the BSN Series, with victory in our opening three meetings, while arguably it was the fourth meeting that was even more impressive – a battling performance at Redcar to take the aggregate bonus point to win the group and progress in the competition.
“We take that momentum into a busy week this week and that week starts with us launching our Cab Direct Championship campaign at Plymouth.
“The Gladiators are not to be under-estimated, especially around their own specialist circuit, but I feel we every chance to return from the long journey down there with a win.”
