Match Night Live

Welcome to MNL as we bring you the 2nd leg of the Challenge Cup 1/4 Final from Kirkcaldy

with the Devils winning the 1st Leg 7-3 the scoreline tonight will show the AGGREGATED SCORE

Score predictions as normal to matchnightlive@gmail.com before the 7pm face off

Awaiting updates from Rachael & Baz who are making the trip to Kirkcaldy

Hopefully we can bring you full coverage from about 6:15

Join me (OJ) later as the Devils try and put last weekends dismal performances behind them

Rachael reports that they passed the team coach (or was it a mini bus) earlier but couldn't see how many were on it.

Daniel Rhys goes for a 54-2 win for Flyers but a 9-7 win for Devils on aggregate
