The Weymouth Doonan Wildcats welcome the Somerset Giants to the Wessex Stadium this Saturday, 3rd May in their last challenge match before they commence their assault on this seasons Conference League.  After last weeks convincing victory over a strong Newport Mavericks Select side, the team will be hoping they can continue in the same vein.
 
Phil Bartlett Wildcats Chairman said “Last week we saw the lads starting to gel as a team.   Although I don’t want to single out any one performance, Tim Webster has so far exceeded our expectations and Brendan Johnson has been doing well in the awkward number 2 slot.  Luke is riding as if he has never been away and Jon Armstrong and Jay Herne have both done exactly what I knew they would.  Karl Mason has had multiple mechanical problems and has sent his engines for a re-build, I know he has the ability he just needs to get rid of the gremlins.”
 
The Wildcats hit the road on Bank Holiday Monday when they face the long trek to Scunthorpe where they take on the Saints in their first league meeting.
 
Jem Dicken Wildcats team manager is confident about the Wildcats chances, “We need the whole team firing up there and speaking to the lads after last weeks meeting they were quietly confident.  I think we are in with a strong chance”.
 
The provisional line-ups for this weeks home meeting with the Somerset Giants are:
