This is Derbyshire

Derby City are hoping to extend their winning run when they visit basement club Telford Raiders tomorrow.

Three wins in a row has seen Derby climb to third in the RL Conference Midlands Premier table.

But they will be without five players who started last weekend's 74-14 demolition of Bristol Sonics.

Man of the match Tom Moorehouse, hat-trick hero Tristan Gill, Dave Fitchett and Mark Rollinson are all unavailable, while Darren Hersey (ankle) is out injured.

Telford are bottom, without a point from their first seven games.

But Derby team manager Mike Turner is not taking anything for granted.

"We are confident but we are not getting ahead of ourselves," he said.

"Telford are stronger than some people give them credit for, especially at home, where they have had some close games.

"We are missing some key players but, having said that, we will be disappointed if we don't come away with another two points."
