Good Evening folks. Well Wales gave England a real fright only losing by 6, Lets hope the Devils can make up for that.
Warm up coming to a close.
We have a lone but regular texter on duty for us tonight. Rachel has stepped into the breach tonight.
Well done and Thank you.
Two predictions so far. Pat reckons on a 4-2 Devils win where as Dai Rees is more confident with a 5-1 Devils win prediction. Well Dai was right last wednesday when some others doubted, me inclucded.
Meanwhile Rob Batch has no real prediction but warns of a Low tonight after the high of last wednesday night. I hope you are wrong Rob.
Well at least the Devils wont have to worry about Nickerson after his recent misdemeanors!
Tonights scheduled refs are Matt Thomson and Dean Matt Rose with Ilia Kisil and Sam Mottan as the Linos.
