THE Somerset Rebels get their 2011 season underway tonight with a challenge match against defending Elite League champions, the Coventry Bees.
Coventry will be bringing their full side, so Somerset are drafting in an Elite League rider of their own – British champion Chris Harris.
Rebels’ promoter Debbie Hancock said: “As I am sure people can appreciate, we are involved in additional cost with this fixture and I would like to thank those people who have come forward to help sponsor Chris’ appearance for the Rebels.
“Their support has meant that whilst we are increasing our admission prices for this particular match, we are able to limit the increase to just £1 for all categories.”
