COVENTRY Buildbase Bees round off the month of July with a re-scheduled trip to Lakeside - the strongest 'home' team in the Elite League.

The fixture was only confirmed last week as this was the date set aside for the 'A' fixture which was brought forward for television coverage in June, and Bees were not necessarily expecting the 'B' match at the end of August to automatically come forward in its place.

The Hammers are the only side not to drop points around their own circuit so far this season and Bees will look to score much better than last month when a totally depleted team went down 29-63.

Their line-up on this occasion is much stronger, and unchanged from Monday's win over Peterborough with Ben Barker continuing at reserve for the injured Stan Burza.

New signing Filip Sitera does not become eligible until the month of August and will therefore make his debut in the next meeting, away at Peterborough next Thursday.

Lakeside will be the Bees' opponents in the Craven Shield Final later this season, and both teams are also into the semi-finals of the Knockout Cup.

The Hammers have a slight doubt over Leigh Lanham as he is still struggling after his crash with Andreas Messing in the reverse fixture at Brandon last week. Lanham will have a fitness test on Wednesday morning, and the Hammers will use rider-replacement if he cannot race.

LAKESIDE: Andreas Jonsson, Leigh Lanham, Adam Shields, Jonas Davidsson, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Ricky Kling, Lubos Tomicek.

BUILDBASE BEES: Chris Harris, Olly Allen, Simon Stead, Billy Janniro, Rory Schlein, Ben Barker, Andreas Messing.
