SHEFFIELD aim to get back to winning ways when they host Eastbourne at Owlerton on Sunday (5.30).

Tigers suffered their first home league defeat of the season last weekend against Redcar - and know three points are a must to get back on track and pull further clear of their opponents.

Team boss Simon Stead is keen to see an instant reaction from his side in front of their home supporters.

“It goes without saying that losing at home last week was very disappointing,” Stead said.

“But we have to move on and we need to see a reaction from the boys.

“We have to put things right against Eastbourne and it’s important that we bounce back.”

Sheffield will run rider replacement for the injured Broc Nicol while Eastbourne include a powerful, experienced top three in Edward Kennett, Richard Lawson and Lewis Kerr.

Gates open at 4pm with the first heat at 5.30.

SHEFFIELD: Danny King, Drew Kemp, Ty Proctor, Broc Nicol R/R, Kyle Howarth, Zaine Kennedy, Josh MacDonald.
EASTBOURNE: Edward Kennett, Ben Morley, Kyle Newman, Lewis Kerr, Richard Lawson, Alfie Bowtell, Georgie Wood.
