Gladiators take on the Pirates

This Saturday night (26th April) promises fireworks at The Coliseum, when The Plymouth Gladiators return to track action against the Poole Pirates in the BSN Series (South).

Having gone down to a 58-32 defeat in the reverse fixture at Wimborne Road, the Gladiators will be looking for revenge and to pick up their first points in the BSN Series.

Plymouth captain Ben Barker is leaving no room for doubt when it comes to the importance of this fixture. “IT’S SIMPLE, IT’S A MUST WIN,” he declared. “The rivalry doesn’t get any bigger than Plymouth vs Poole.  The Gladiators bring in Zaine Kennedy for reserve Lasse Fredriksen who is representing Norway in the European Pairs in Krsko, Slovenia.

The Gladiators will be counting on a passionate home crowd, to create a fortress atmosphere as they aim to turn the tables on the Pirates.
