Plymouth return to competitive action at the St Boniface Arena on Friday evening (7.30pm) when they face South Coast rivals Weymouth in the Conference Trophy.

The return match takes place at Weymouth the following evening with the overall winners meeting Boston or Buxton in the final.

The Devils retain the side that beat Boston 60-32 in the Conference League a fortnight ago and will be looking to repeat their early season Devon and Dorset Trophy double over the Wildcats.

Newman, a 16-year-old also from Poole, will be joined at reserve by former Plymouth rider Tim Webster.

Seemond Stephens, Kyle Hughes, Nicki Glanz, Ben Hopwood, Tom Brown. Reserves: Jaimie Pickard, Paul Starke.
