REDDITCH Regents have a mountain to climb in their Rosebowl game against Hagley on Sunday.
The visitors play a division below league leaders Redditch and with a handicap system in the Rosebowl, they will enjoy a 44 point lead from the start (tip-off 7pm).
Centre Lee Dowling should return after pulling an arm muscle and coach Dave Bradshaw hopes to have Aussie small forward Barry Richardson back.
The Arrow Vale side maintained their perfect start to the season with a narrow 72-67 win over Old Sils at the weekend.
The Regals are set for a temporary move back to Arrow Vale because of the problems afflicting Studley Leisure Centre.
Regals play their final game at Studley for the immediate future when they take on West Midlands Police next Wednesday (tip-off 7.15pm). The centre will close for repairs after Sunday, November 10, and Stratford District Council will be searching for new management. Bradshaw hopes to return in mid-January.
Regals regained their winning ways with a 65-44 win over Tipton Falcons last week and hope to recall centre Beth Lewis but will lose small forward Helen Webb for the Police game.
Under 15s star Rebecca Hemming has been selected to represent the West Midlands under 14s at the Jesse Boot Wildcats Arena, Nottingham at the weekend. Ten representative teams will battle to find top talent to play for England.
