Cheetahs to tame Wolf pack?

The Oxford Cheetahs travel to the Monmore Green, Wolverhampton, home of the Parry's International Wolves tonight (Monday) in search of Elite League points from a match that gets underway at 7.30 p.m.

Cheetahs skipper David Howe and Polish star Adam Skornicki are particularly looking forward to returning to their former home track and that has led to current Wolf pack skipper Swede Peter Karlsson issuing a warning to his own team.

"Of course both Adam and David will have a point to prove," he said, "they'll want to score some big points and we'll have to stop them. I believe it could be a good match."

On Wednesday of this week, it's THE local derby everyone is looking forward to when the Swindon Robins come to Cowley aiming to avenge their defeat of 2005 that saw Oxford not only take the league points but, in so doing, become the inaugural winners of the Oxford Harley-Davidson Trophy.

Once again Oxford Harley-Davidson, who are based at Wooton near Abingdon, are sponsoring Wednesday's clash of the Titans and giving all adults attending the match the chance of winning the draw that that will see one lucky winner have the use of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle for a weekend absolutely free of charge.

Looking forward to the match, Oxford boss Aaron Lanney said, "Beating Swindon is always what Oxford people look forward to and Wednesday will be no different.

"I'm told that their team manager Alun Rossiter has been telling all and sundry that his side will win easily.

"The Cheetahs will do our talking where it matters - on the track!"
