Weekend Preview : Basingstoke Bison

By Phoebe Clifford

It’s a one-game weekend this Saturday with your Bristol Drive North Pitbulls hosting Basingstoke Bison at The Pound.  

Saturday 11th October – Bristol Pitbulls vs Basingstoke Bison 

After an overtime loss last weekend The Pitbulls are hoping to change things this Saturday as we head into The Pound for a face-off against the Basingstoke Bison. The Bison lost their last league game against Telford 7-5 at the end of last month however they may put up a challenge for the home side as they dominated their pre-season winning three out of four games played, two of which were against the Pitbulls. #16 George Norcliffe has scored two goals in the one game played which could make him a player to look out for as well as forward Brendan Sellan, who scored three goals in the four pre-season games.
