SHEFFIELD’S eagerly anticipated scheduled home opener against Oxford has been postponed (Thursday, March 28).

Periods of rain throughout Wednesday along with a worsening raceday forecast have led club chiefs to make the early call to minimise inconvenience for all involved.

A restaging date will be announced in due course.

The Tru7 Group Tigers head to Belle Vue on Easter Monday (April 1, 12 noon) before hosting the Aces at Owlerton next Thursday (April 4, 7.30) as the two rivals meet in the Premiership Knockout Cup Quarter-Finals.
