Phoenix seek double boost

MANCHESTER, UK - MANCHESTER Phoenix will look to regain some form when they take on two lower placed EPL teams this weekend.

They travel to bottom of the table Romford Raiders on Saturday (5.15pm) before hosting 'Grand Slam' champions Peterborough Phantoms a day later (5.30pm).

Although they have lost to them twice, Phoenix should have no trouble overcoming the Raiders who have only won five matches all season. Peterborough will put up a sterner test, but have failed to hit last season's heights and sacked coach Doug Irwin earlier in the season.

But, they are only 11 points behind the Phoenix in sixth placed and may fancy their chances of putting pressure on Tony Hand's side.

Phoenix have a doubt over Steven Wallace who picked up a knee strain during last week's 9-1 loss at Milton Keynes but otherwise should be at full strength.
