SHEFFIELD are looking for a big lead from the home leg of their Premier League Grand Final with Rye House on Thursday (7.45).

The Sheffield Window Centre-backed Tigers are the only team to beat the Rockets on aggregate this season. The second leg is at Hoddesdon on Saturday.

Sheffield co-promoter Neil Machin said: "We will look to take a big lead to their place on Saturday - and the bigger the lead the more pressure will be heaped on them."

Sheffield last won the league title in 2002 when they swept the board but were runners-up to King's Lynn last year.

Rye House were winners in 2005 and will probably start the final as slight favourites - the signing of Stefan Ekberg as a replacement for the injured Robbie Kessler proved to be a masterstroke.

Meanwhile plans are in place for coach travel to the second leg, subject to sufficient interest, bookings can be made at Owlerton on Thursday.

TIGERS: Ricky Ashworth, Ben Wilson, Andre Compton, Paul Cooper, Joel Parsons, Jordan Frampton, James Cockle.

RYE HOUSE: Stefan Ekberg, Chris Neath, Tai Woffinden, Tommy Allen, Steve Boxall, Luke Bowen, Adam Roynon.
