Wolves braced for Bridger threat

Outstanding teenagers Tai Woffinden and Lewis Bridger go head-to-head when Wolverhampton host Eastbourne in the Elite League on Monday night.

Wolves' Woffinden, 18, and Eagles' Bridger, 19, will be World Cup team-mates for Great Britain next week.

The home side will be looking to consolidate their position near the top of the Elite League table.

Adam Skornicki returns for Wolves after his Polish commitments kept him out of the defeat at Poole on Wednesday.

"We just have to keep it going and the boys know exactly what's needed," said Wolves boss Peter Adams.

"We're only just halfway through the season and anything can happen, but we're obviously quite happy with the way things are ticking over.

"Eastbourne can ride our track well and we will be treating them with great respect."

Adams men have taken 11 points from their last four meetings, three of which were away from home, but the Eagles have slipped to five successive defeats.
