Spires boss wants to repay faith shown by fans
PETER Schroeck wants to repay the faith shown by the fans when Oxford Spires welcome Sheffield Tigers in the Premiership this evening.
Spires began May with a double victory over Birmingham Brummies, but then lost at home to Belle Vue Aces last week.
Peter Kildemand top-scored for Spires with 9+1, and has gained a new average. He will drop to reserve, while Craig Cook moves up to No 2, with Erik Riss at No 3 and Charles Wright at No 5.

Spires team manager Schroeck said: 'One of the positives from last week was the form shown by Peter Kildemand, leading our scoring last week along with the ever-reliable Charles Wright.
'Peter will move to reserve against Sheffield, and just like Craig Cook, he has the experience to score well from No 6 and give us that extra strength at reserve.
'As for the meeting against Sheffield, we do need to make up for last week's defeat to Belle Vue.
'We're doing our best to stay positive and a win would lift the spirits of everyone in the Spires camp and also get us back on target to making sure we are winning at home.
'I thank our fans for their patience and continued support. There's a lot we can be proud about at our club, and our supporters are a big part of that. We'd love nothing more than to repay their faith with a victory over Sheffield.'

Lam motivated to take Bristol on to a future title
Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam has insisted he has lost none of the motivation to try to take the Bears to a Premiership final next season, despite watching his side fall short in their semi-final at Bath. The Bears held a slender half-time lead over Bath but conceded four successive tries to fall out of contention as their West Country neighbours booked a place in the Twickenham final next week. Advertisement Lam, who joined Bristol in 2017 with the club then in the Championship, has taken the Bears to the play-offs three times but not yet to a final. "To get to the final was massive for us - we are disappointed but we gave it a really good go and we missed out to a quality team," Lam said. "If you look over the seven years at what we've done and what Bath have done, Bath will always get a lot of credit because they've won titles, Northampton won titles, Saracens have won titles. "I think for us to go to that next level and earn some of that respect we need to win a title, that's the next evolution of this team. Advertisement "I'm really excited by next year and what could happen." Bristol finished fourth in the table, securing their semi-final spot - and their first since 2021 when they topped the league - in the final round of the regular season with a win against Harlequins six days previously. They did so with the smallest squad in the Premiership and after missing key players such as fly-half AJ MacGinty and winger Gabriel Ibitoye for large chunks of the season. Against Bath they scored a breathtaking try which started metres from their own tryline through Kalaveti Ravouvou and was capped off by James Dun, and showcased plenty more of the quick, slick ball-handling skills that made them one of the top attacking outfits this season, and briefly stopped Bath in their tracks. Advertisement But across 80 minutes they could not match their opponents - particularly with the loss of scrum-half Harry Randall on 37 minutes to a shoulder injury and following two yellow cards. Lam, who is under contract until 2028, said they need to develop more of the strength in depth that Bath have to push on. He also pointed to the signings of versatile Scotland and Glasgow back Tom Jordan, winger Max Pepper and second row Pedro Rubiolo as additions that will bolster them in 2025-26. "We've just got to keep building that depth below so when we lose key guys they can fill that gap even better," he said. Advertisement "We've still got the smallest squad, we've got 31 players next year, 19 senior academy boys. "What we've shown is you don't have to spend to the cap - we've tidied up so much of the whole organisation, I believe we're sitting nicely now off the field and we'll build and when we do get some more funds we've got enough in our cap space to grow from there."

Bath boss plays down Finn Russell injury fears after semi-final win over Bristol
Bath boss Johann van Graan has played down injury fears over Finn Russell, insisting that the fly half was just dealing with cramp when he limped off late in the Premiership semi-final win over Bristol. The hosts battled back after a fast and furious first half from Bristol to book their place in the Premiership final for a second straight year, with Russell typically influential in a 34-20 win. Advertisement The Scotland fly half, set to tour Australia with the British and Irish Lions this summer, helped turn the tide in combination with half-back partner Ben Spencer as Bath powered clear to set up a meeting with either Leicester or Sale next Saturday. The 32-year-old appeared to give Van Graan, and perhaps Lions coach Andy Farrell, reason to fret as he departed before the end of the game sporting a large bruise on his left leg, with the Scot in apparent discomfort even while exchanging verbals with the Bristol team and smiling. But Van Graan has moved to allay worries of an injury, stressing that he expects Russell to be fit as Bath look to end a 29-year wait for a top-flight title. 'Multiple parts of his body are cramping," Van Graan said as his side took a step closer to a possible treble. "He put in some effort, I thought. His goalkicking was phenomenal, the chases that he put in too. He was still cramping in the changing room but there's no reason to suppose he won't be fine. Advertisement "It was amazing how many guys on both sides went down with cramp. It just showed the effort that both teams put in. We worked incredibly hard to get into this position, to get back to Twickenham." Finn Russell (left) celebrated with Bath owner Bruce Craig after leading the side to the Premiership final (Getty Images) Bath were beaten finalists last year, pushing Northampton close at Twickenham despite Beno Obano's early sending off. Their depth was on full display as they rallied to beat their rivals on a raucous Friday night at The Rec, with back rows Guy Pepper, Miles Reid and Ted Hill all producing standout performances even in the absence of the suspended Sam Underhill. The impact of Springboks tighthead Thomas du Toit also proved key, with the South Africa international relieving a possible Lions starter in Will Stuart to further illustrate the options on offer to Van Graan. Johann van Graan has coached Bath into back-to-back Premiership finals (Steven Paston/PA Wire) "That's a Premiership semi-final for you,' the Bath coach explained. 'We knew this was going to be a tough game and we picked a 23 that we believe will get the job done. Advertisement "I thought at 34-13, we got some momentum but Bristol is a good team. They kept on attacking and it's never dead on 34-20. It was some game of rugby. We knew that we were going to be stretched but we actually defended pretty well. "At half-time we spoke about our game and composure. It shows that we are a team that is fluid and adaptable. We made one or two tactical changes and then our fitness came through, our hunger, our will to win.' Additional reporting by PA
