Rockets Face Rebel Test in Play Offs
Rye House Rockets will face Somerset Rebels over two legs in the First Round of the Premier League Playoffs. The two teams have already met six times during the course of the season with three wins apiece. The first leg of the tie is set for Friday September 29th at the Oak Tree Arena with the return in Hoddesdon 24 hours later. It has been confirmed that the Rockets will be boosted by the return of skipper Stuart Robson for both meetings. Robson is finally back to fitness after suffering a wrist injury against Kings Lynn in March. Lee Smethills who had been occupying the number two race jacket has been released to make way for Robson's return. The club will still be looking for a new reserve as Adam Roynon will now miss the rest of the season having had an operation on his broken ankle yesterday.
