NEWCASTLE star Richie Worrall will captain Great Britain on his home track in the Fourth Test against Australia tonight (6.30pm).GB hold a 2-1 lead going into the meeting at the Newcastle Stadium (Brough Park) and will clinch overall victory in the five-match series with another win.

The home side are also bolstered by the inclusion of Newcastle regular Andrew Tully at reserve, while although the Kangaroos have no Diamonds in their pack, they do include Berwicks Matthew Wethers who scored a magnificent 21-point maximum at the track a couple of years ago as well as Redcars Aaron Summers who also has a good record on Tyneside.

Newcastle co-owner/director George English said: "This is a great honour for Newcastle Speedway to be granted this fixture and it would be fantastic if GB can take the win tonight.

The sides look well balanced and both will be using Brough Park experts so I doubt if anyone will feel confident in predicting the outcome, other than some spectacular racing!
