WORCESTER Wolves Basketball Club expect their toughest test yet in the National Trophy tomorrow.

They entertain Teeside Mohawks, who won both the Trophy and the Conference League last season. Start time at University College Worcester is at 4pm.

Wolves are hoping to bounce back from their first defeat at Liverpool last week, but Director of Operations Mick Donovan said: "Teeside are pretty awesome and we will have our work cut out.

"The big thing for us is to use the Trophy to get used to the speed and strength of the higher league. It will be a good measure for us.

"But we won't be overawed and we won't show them any respect. We hope to give them the fright of their lives."

Frenchman Nick Vinsonneau is a major doubt for Wolves with an ankle injury, but Greek newcomer Fotos Maragrutus should be fit after being confined to bed with 'flu this week. Gareth France is poised to make his home debut.
