TIGERS HEAD FOR BRUM

Tuesday May 15, 2007
SHEFFIELD will be at full strength for their Premier League trip to newcomers Birmingham on Wednesday (7.45pm).

James Birkinshaw returns after having x-rays which have given him the all-clear after a horrifying crash at Berwick over a fortnight ago.

Birmingham hand a debut to Jon Armstrong in a meeting which is to be screened live on Sky Sports.

Tigers fans are set to turn out in force at Perry Barr Stadium as club sponsors Sheffield Window Centre ahev subsidised coach travel to the second city - and Birmingham are also promoting a 'Kids for a Quid' scheme on the night.

Tigers owner Neil Machin said: "It's great exposure for our club on live TV but we must also focus on the fact that we're going to Birmingham to win the meeting.

"Hopefully our fans will play their part and show the rest of the country what great support we have."

Tigers face Redcar at Owlerton on Thursday night with Elite League star Magnus Karlsson in line to make a guest appearance for the visitors.

BIRMINGHAM: Ulrich Ostergaard, Aidan Collins, Jason Lyons, Jon Armstrong, Emiliano Sanchez, Lee Smart, Ben Powell.
SHEFFIELD: Ricky Ashworth, James Birkinshaw, Andre Compton, Ben Wilson, Joel Parsons, James Cockle, Paul Cooper.
