King's Lynn Stars host Sheffield Tigers tonight as they start their bid for silverware in the League Cup.

Stars have had a few weeks off, while Tigers are fresh off the back of last week's Grand Final defeat to Belle Vue.

A win would set Stars on the patch to their first full-team top-flight silverware in over two decades.

The return fixture is at Owlerton on Thursday.

Skipper Josh Pickering told the club website: “I honestly believe that if we had this team a couple of weeks earlier we would be in a much different position now, but all the boys are ready for the Final.

“We need to win something for King’s Lynn and for all the supporters. Last year was nothing to celebrate and we have had bits of bad luck this year, but at the same time I feel we have moved things on.

“I would love to be back here next year. I have loved my Premiership racing and I honestly believe that this can be our turn to lift a trophy.”
