Leicester Lions face Newcastle Diamonds and Somerset Rebels in their Premier League play-off group.

Newcastle's first pick was the Lions, Scunthorpe going for Workington Comets.

That left Somerset and Edinburgh Monarchs, with Newcastle manager George English going for the former.

Each club will meet home and away, on dates still to be agreed, with the winners of each group battling it out in the grand final over two legs.

Lions co-promoter Alan Jones said: "Beforehand, we were relaxed as to who we wanted. After all, each club has qualified on merit and are all quite capable of topping their respective group.

"Everyone starts all square again and it will be so important to collect all three points at home.

"We also need to go for every heat point as the group could be decided on points gained and conceded."

The Lions go into the play-offs with fitness concerns over Magnus Karlsson and Jari Makinen, who picked up injuries at the weekend.
