Sheffield will need to bounce back to winning ways when they renew their rivalry with Belle Vue at Owlerton on Thursday.

Co-promoter Peter Mole was left disappointed by the performance in Monday’s 54-36 defeat at Peterborough and the Aces are strongly fancied for the Premiership title.

It’s the first time Belle Vue have visited Owlerton in league racing since 1996 and the restricted crowd numbers mean a sellout is expected with plenty of fans expected to support the visitors.

Said Mole: “I left Peterborough very disappointed with our result.

“On all our previous away trips so far I have been able to draw some positives, either by improved performances or anticipating the return to a full side.

“To be honest at Peterborough I found it very difficult to see any positives. Jack Holder and Adam Ellis continued their fine form of late with some superb riding and we all need to be much sharper to overcome the strong Belle Vue Aces side.”

Ellis, who carded 10+1, said immediately after the 54-36 defeat: “We didn’t really get going from the off which was frustrating but we fought hard and what can we say, they’re strong around here.
