IN-FORM Weymouth rider Anders Rowe is expecting a tough task for Poole Pirates as they travel to Edinburgh and Berwick for back-to-back meetings this weekend.
The Pirates take on the Scottish side on Friday night before a trip to just south of the border on Saturday.
The Dorset club began their Championship defence on Wednesday night with a 55-35 victory over Scunthorpe Scorpions at home, while both sides they face this weekend begin their league campaigns against the defending champions.
After picking up a perfect maximum from five rides on Wednesday night, Rowe was confident that if Pirates perform to the best of their ability, they can return south with two wins on the board.
Previewing the two meetings, he told the Daily Echo: “[They’re] not easy meetings, that's for sure.
“They're very good teams, especially around their home track, so we can't take anything for granted.
“We've got to go there, give it our all from one to seven, go and do what we know we can do.
“That's what we're employed to do. So, yeah, we can go out there and win and bring it back to the sunny seaside coast, we should be all right.”
Poole Pirates face Edinburgh Monarchs at 7.30pm on Friday, May 16 at Armadale, before meeting Berwick Bandits at 7pm on Saturday, May 17 at Shielfield Park.
