RYAN ALDRIDGE is anticipating a competitive weekend for his Leeds Knights team as they gear up ready for the NIHL National play-offs.
The 2023-24 league champions welcome Solway Sharks to Elland Road on Friday night before ending their regular season campaign on the road at Yorkshire rivals, Hull Seahawks on Sunday. Hull are assured of fourth spot in the table and will join Leeds in play-off Group A along with eighth-placed Bees IHC and whoever from Peterborough Phantoms or Telford Tigers finish in fifth spot this weekend.
In reality, they have little to play for, but Knights’ head coach Ryan Aldridge believes they will want to end their debut campaign in the second-tier on a high - especially if they can bloody the nose of the league champions in the process. “Friday is big for me,” insisted Aldridge, whose team completed a head-to-head series sweep against Sheffield Steeldogs last weekend.. “It’s about getting confidence in our building against a good team.
