Wildcats announce pre-season schedule

The Swindon Wildcats will launch their eagerly awaited season by continuing the tradition of taking on long standing rivals the Slough Jets in pre-season challenge matches.

The first game will take place at the Link Centre on Wednesday 14th September with a 7.45pm face-off and the return leg will be played at the Hangar in Slough seven days later on Wednesday 21st September at 7.30pm.

Both games are mouth-watering prospects with players and staff always heading in opposite directions from both teams in the off season, with this season no different with former Slough Head Coach Pete Russell now in position as the Bench Coach for the Wildcats.

Wildcats fans will be looking forward to seeing their new look team in action, with many people predicting a big season for the club.

In between this pair of games the Wildcats entertain the Telford Tigers in Swindon on Saturday 17th September with a 5.45pm face-off with the return leg the following evening in Telford on Sunday 18th September starting at 5.30pm.

The Tigers, for a second year in the EPL as a supporters’ trust, are hoping to improve on their last season with Coach Watkins confident his team will reach the play-offs this time out.

Ticket details for both the home and away matches will be announced shortly on www.swindonwildcats.com
