Harris set to return to Poole for Lawson's testimonial

Former Poole Pirates star Chris Harris will don the skull and crossbones once again at Wimborne Road as part of Richard Lawson’s testimonial.

British star Harris, who helped the Wimborne Road side seal an against-all-odds SGB Premiership title in 2018, will be part of Lawson’s Poole team to take on an All-Stars septet on Sunday, September 1 (5pm).

Harris is most famously known in Poole colours for his famous ride against Somerset Rebels in the play-off semi-final almost six years ago - a heat Lawson competed in.

And the man nicknamed ‘Bomber’ will link up for Poole alongside Lawson, Ben Cook, Zach Cook, Sam Hagon and Ryan Douglas, with one more Poole rider to be announced.

Going up against them in the challenge fixture is Sam Masters, Troy Batchelor, Charles Wright, Anders Rowe, Josh Pickering and Lewis Kerr along with one other.

There will also be a section for youth riders on the night, which will include the likes of Cooper Rushen, Archie Rolph, Seth Norman and Charlie Southwick.
