Premier League play-off groups determined

PRESS RELEASE FROM SPEEDWAYGB:

PREMIER League leaders Edinburgh have picked Berwick and Workington in their play-off group as they look to reach the Grand Final.

The Monarchs, who secured top spot and therefore choice of opponents over the weekend, will now set about confirming their fixtures with teams riding each other home and away.

The other group sees reigning champions Somerset up against Ipswich and Scunthorpe with dates expected to be confirmed within the next 24 hours.

British Speedway chairman and Edinburgh co-promoter Alex Harkess said: “This is an exciting time of the year for those clubs competing and with my Edinburgh hat on I will say we are taking absolutely nothing for granted.

“The play-offs are here and also this Sunday we have the Premier League Riders’ Championship at Sheffield, the big individual event for the league. Good look to all competing teams and riders in both the play-offs and PLRC and let’s hope for some entertaining speedway.”
