Arena Essex's riders head north this weekend in search of Premier League points.

The hectic trio of matches starts tonight when the Hammers face Edinburgh at the Armadale Stadium.

They travel south of the border to Berwick tomorrow to take on the Bandits at the Shielfield Park Stadium.

Then Arena finish the weekend with a meeting against the Glasgow Tigers at the Ashfield Stadium on Sunday night.

Ronnie Russell's riders will be looking to put last year's disappointments up north behind them over the next few days.

In 2002 they held Berwick to a draw and only lost to Edinburgh in the closing heats.

Arena return to the Purfleet Raceway on Friday, June 6, when they entertain Elite League club Peterborough Panthers in a British League Cup match.
