THE Belle Vue \u2018ATPI\u2019 Aces<\/a> will be looking to make a strong start to their Premiership Knockout Cup when they face reigning league champions Sheffield on Monday, April 1, tapes up at 12pm.<\/p>\n

So far the team have seen action in Suffolk when they were narrowly defeated 51-39 by Ipswich, and this will be the first time that the Class of 2024 has taken to home shale as a unit.<\/p>\n

The reigning league champions, meanwhile, have had a tough start to their campaign with a loss at Oxford and Birmingham pushing them into the first Super heat of the year.<\/p>\n

The ATPI Aces and Tru7 Group Tigers have always shared a fierce rivalry and the home team are determined to get one over their War of the Roses opponents in Manchester.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both sides will be at full strength for this crucial quarter final clash, and club boss Mark Lemon is excited at the prospect of such a highly anticipated meeting to kick off top flight team action.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt was a very close and intense meeting for the ATPI Aces at Ipswich last week, and it certainly wasn\u2019t a performance to be ashamed of, especially for our first match as a unit.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the team clicked into gear while others took a little longer, and poor Ben [Cook] had a night to forget; anything that could wrong, did go wrong for him.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019ve taken those lessons on board and are really looking forward to facing the league champions as our first team opponents at home.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a good while since Belle Vue lifted the Knockout Cup \u2013 seven years in fact! \u2013 and we\u2019d love nothing better than to take a hefty lead to Owlerton on Thursday.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tigers have found things pretty tough to kick things off. We\u2019ve been there, done that. It\u2019s harder to retain a league title than it is to win one, and they do have their work cut out.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut with likes of Woffinden and the Holder brothers in their side, they are a force to reckoned with. Whatever happens, I\u2019m anticipating a close and exciting afternoon of racing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
