Four from seven agree to play Panthers here

GUERNSEY PANTHERS will have the chance to play in front of a sizeable home Beau Sejour crowd four times next season as they make their return to the British League.

The newly-formed club are in the eight-team South Region Division Three for 2013-14 and will start their campaign against anticipated promotion rivals Meon on 29 September – in Guernsey.

Of their seven opponents, four have agreed to travel to the island to fulfil the fixture, while two have asked Panthers to give up home advantage and play in the UK – which the Sarnians have agreed to.

However, Gill Queripel and Denise Bourgaize's side will have one win under their belt before they even start, as NRG Sussex Pumas have refused to play their away match due to cost concerns.
