EDINBURGH skipper Derek Sneddon believes team spirit could play a big part in the forthcoming Premier League Grand Final.Sneddon’s Monarchs host Somerset at Armadale on Friday with the return fixture at the Oaktree Arena next Monday, and the sides have already had close battles this season.Sneddon said: “It’s easy to captain a team if you’ve got a good bunch of guys. Each and every one of us, though we’ve had our up times and down times, are all genuinely 100 per cent behind each other.“We all want success. We had a spell when things weren’t going well, the heads were going down, but we got ourselves through it. It was the team that did that amongst ourselves. We want success and we all believe we are capable of it.”(SPEEDWAY 2)
