LEICESTER have two senior representatives chasing a place in the British Final on a big afternoon of action at the Hydroscand Arena, Beaumont Park on Sunday (2pm).
Lions regulars Drew Kemp and Joe Thompson take their place in the line-up for the British Semi-Final, which carries six qualifying places for the national showpiece at Belle Vue next month.
The meeting was also supposed to feature Kyle Howarth; however, he aggravated his recent ankle injury when racing for Glasgow on Friday and was signed out after the meeting having been advised to rest for three days, and Glasgow and Lion Cubs racer Freddy Hodder will replace him.
There are three further changes to the originally declared line-up as Jody Scott replaces Ben Barker, who has yet to return from injury. Meanwhile Will Cairns takes the place of Connor Mountain, who is out with illness, and Vinnie Foord replaces Simon Lambert who crashed out for Redcar on Friday.
LINE-UP: Jake Mulford, Jordan Jenkins, Freddy Hodder, Dan Gilkes, Jason Edwards, Jody Scott, Sam Hagon, Ace Pijper, Luke Harrison, Joe Thompson, Craig Cook, Vinnie Foord, Anders Rowe, Will Cairns, Luke Killeen, Drew Kemp. Reserves: Ryan Ingram, Eli Meadows.
