Cradley set to launch their home campaign

Cradley fans will be looking for a sign when the Heathens get their home National League campaign under way against Buxton at Monmore tonight.

Will Pottinger's men are looking to bounce back from the narrow defeat at Coventry last Monday when they face the Hitmen (7.30pm).

And every supporter will be presented with a free colour team print on entry to the stadium – they can then get it signed as there will be a rider autograph session from 6.30-7pm.

The club are also raising funds for former favourite Darryl Ritchings, their 2011 rider of the year, who is recovering from a horror crash at Swindon. All profits from the 50/50 draw will go to the Wiltshire rider.

Also, tickets for the Billy Hamill evening at the Copthorne Hotel on July 27 go on sale for the first time to fans in attendance on Tuesday at the track shop.

Team boss Pottinger said: "We are looking to bounce back against Buxton and, with all due respect to them, I expect us to do so.

"We didn't get too excited by our big wins against King's Lynn and Scunthorpe, so we're not too downhearted about a narrow defeat at Coventry."

Cradley: Paul Starke, Nathan Greaves, Tom Perry, Max Clegg, Steve Worrall, Matt Williamson, Danny Phillips.

Buxton: Tony Atkin, Sean Phillips, Ryan Blacklock, Tom Woolley, Liam Carr, Stefan Farnaby, Adam Extance.
