STOKE host the Plymouth Gladiators in the National League at Loomer Road on Saturday night, 7pm.

The A.R. Richards Potters will look to go one better than last week when they drew the Isle of Wight and take all three points on offer for the Chesterton based club. The Potters will use rider replacement to cover for Conor Coles who is on Championship duty for Edinburgh at Berwick.

The Potters have already beaten the Gladiators in the KO Cup 50-39 at home and will be looking to do similar on Saturday with Luke Priest saying “We have had a few meetings against Plymouth twice down there and although we have lost we’ve run them close and we have beaten them here earlier in the season and feel we are capable of doing so once again as we look to finish the season on a high.”

Plymouth will be using rider replacement also after Adam Sheppard was injured in a crash at the Coliseum last Friday.
