Tees Valley Mohawks visit Westminster Warriors before entertaining EBL National League Division One champions Reading Rockets
Jonny Foulds returns to action after a back injury for Tees Valley Mohawks’ double dose of weekend action.
Tomorrow they visit Westminster Warriors before entertaining EBL National League Division One champions Reading Rockets at Middlesbrough College on Sunday (3pm).
Westminster have struggled this season but, while Mohawks battle to keep their play-off bid alive, coach Steve Butler expects the London side to show a fighting spirit as they strive to avoid relegation.
He’s also mindful of Warriors’ shock win on Teesside last season.
“Westminster always play better on their home court and they are tough to beat,” he said. “The team has been together for a few years now and they are battling to get enough wins to avoid relegation so everything is to play for.”
It’s the Mohawks who will be looking to cause an upset on Sunday, when the mighty Rockets - who ended their National Trophy run this term - are the visitors.
“Playing Reading is very tough and they have deserved all their success this season,” said Butler.
“But I hope we can get the victory we need to put ourselves back in a good play-off position.”
Mohawks are hoping for a bumper crowd and are asking for spectators to arrive by 2.30pm to get a good seat.
The Mini Mohawks will be running a coaching session before the game from 12-2pm. Anyone aged between six and 16 is welcome to attend the session (price £5 including entry to the game).
