-------------------------------------------------------------
DIVISION ONE: Dinot Riders v Hotshots,
Saturday 11th July 2009, Kick off: 19:00 CET,
at the Riders Dome, Denmark.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This week we travel to Denmark to preview a clash between two of the strongest sides in Division One who both lie on the fringes of the promotion places.
THIS SEASON------------------------------------------------
After finishing their league campaign last season with 4 straight wins, confidence will have been high at the Riders Dome. Their start has been mixed though. After an opening day victory over rivals Norfolk and Chance, the Riders slipped to consecutive defeats against Highland Select and Smallville before last weekends win over Rubber Dubbers got their promotion push back on track. They currently lie down in 5th but are only 2 points off the promotion places. Their Trophy campaign was ended very early by Aldershot TOON.
Hotshots started the season well. They won their first 5 games in all competitions, including their opening 2 league games, scoring 14 goals and conceding none in the process. They were then defeated 3-0 twice in a weel, first by Highland Select and then by Ash Samba Boyz in the semi-final of the Trophy. Jakestars team will hope last weekends 1-1 draw in our previewed game at home to Smallville will prove the recovery after a blip as oposed to the continued decline in form.

TEAM NEWS----------------------------------------------------
Regular defender Dexter McPie is absent for the Riders through injury.
Hotshots star defender Milton Meredith is expected to recover from injury in time to play. Keeper Ricky Langley is also expected to be fully fit.
PREDICTION----------------------------------------------------
Goals should be expected with the two sides having scored 15 goals between them in their 4 league games so far this season. The Riders home form is considerably better than the Hotshots away form and therefore the Riders will probably begin favourites.
PREDICTION: 2-1 Dinot Riders.
