'Let's put it right,' urges GB skipper

9:43am Thursday 17th July 2008 in Sport

GREAT Britain skipper Scott Nicholls is urging his troops to forget Monday's horror show as they chase a place in the World Cup Final.

Robins skipper Leigh Adams has already led Australia to the final, where they were joined by Denmark following their second round victory earlier this week.

And there are two places up for grabs tonight in Vojens as Britain battle it out with Sweden, Poland and Russia in a race-off.

Edward Kennett and teenage hope Tai Woffinden join the Great Britain team for the meeting, replacing Simon Stead and Olly Allen who have not travelled to Denmark.

Nicholls knows Great Britain are in the last chance saloon, and admitted: "We've got to brush Monday's meeting under the carpet, and that's not a lame way of looking at it because it was a dismal night.

"We were very poor and nobody had a good night.

"We should have done a lot better, some people might talk about the track but we all know how to ride Coventry, so there are no excuses whatsoever.

"We need to make sure we put it right on Thursday."

GREAT BRITAIN TEAM Scott Nicholls (capt), Chris Harris, Lee Richardson, Edward Kennett, Tai Woffinden.
