Full-strength Manchester Phoenix in need of four-point weekend

Manchester Phoenix are looking to take four points out of four this weekend after narrowly missing out against the table-toppers, losing to Milton Keynes Lightning in overtime.

Phoenix are back to full strength as they travel to bottom-placed Hull Pirates who have won just two of their 14 games.

The Manchester side will experience a tougher encounter at home on Sunday when they face-off against sixth-place Telford Tigers who are looking for their fifth win on the bounce.

Despite a good start the season winning results for Tony Hand’s side have slipped away with just two wins out of nine last month as Phoenix currently sit in seventh place with just six wins out of 16 league appearances.

This year’s English Premier League is being closely fought and a four point weekend could see Phoenix rise to fourth place.

Manchester Phoenix face Hull Pirates on Saturday 7 and return to Deeside to face Telford Tigers on Sunday, 8.
