LEICESTER will be without Connor Mountain for their Championship trip to Birmingham tonight (Wednesday, 7.30pm).
Mountain misses the match at Perry Barr as his partner went into labour yesterday, and the Watling JCB Lions have been given BSP approval to operate the rider replacement facility.
That means his rides will be shared between skipper Kyle Howarth, Joe Thompson, and reserve duo Anders Rowe and Dan Thompson.
All at Leicester wish Connor and his partner well, and we hope to see him back at the weekend.
