Workington Comets face a double header with Berwick Bullets – home and away – this weekend.
The Bullets will stage the first clash on Saturday night before the two teams square-up at Northside on Sunday (3pm).
Berwick are bottom of the National Development League table with just one win in five matches.
On Sunday they were at Kent who took all three points as the aggregate point was decided in a Super Heat.
The Royals collected their first win of the season and the 54-34 result meant the overall scores were tied, with Ben Morley and Nathan Ablitt going on to defeat Connor Coles and Greg Blair for the additional point.
Morley had raced to a 15-point maximum for the home side whilst skipper Tom Woolley added 11, whilst Coles scored 10 for the Bullets.
Home reserve Connor King was ruled out with concussion after a Heat 2 crash with Berwick guest Jason Garrad, who then suffered a suspected broken collarbone in a later incident.
Bullets boss Jamie Courtney said: “Everyone is hugely disappointed not to have taken the aggregate point, but we had little or no luck on the afternoon.
“I said to the boys in the closing stages that shared heats were enough, but it was not to be.”
Meanwhile Mildenhall are the early League leaders after producing a big finish to edge out Oxford 45-43 in a thrilling NDL contest at West Row.
The Fen Tigers’ top two of Alfie Bowtell and Lee Complin took 5-1s in both of Heats 13 and 15 to see their side to victory, leading to wild celebrations for home skipper Complin.
Both he and Bowtell suffered a non-finish during the meeting with Bowtell also on the wrong end of a 5-1 to Chargers duo Henry Atkins and Jody Scott in Heat 10.
But Bowtell won three races to finish on 10 points, a total matched by Atkins and Ryan Kinsley for the visitors. Complin said: “We never gave up, and when our backs were against the wall we clubbed together as a team.
“Oxford deserve a great deal of credit for their part in the match – they are a very good side. It was great to do it for our fans who have been terrific.”
Chargers boss Peter Schroeck said: “I was feeling very deflated about everything that happened at Belle Vue on Friday. That was a very long and stressful day. But I got the enjoyment out of today.
“Not many teams will push Mildenhall around here as close as we did, while the track held up well. Don’t get me wrong, I like to see the team to win. But the Chargers are all about progression and we’re seeing so much of that.”
