PLYMOUTH Devils will be looking for revenge when they begin the 2010 season with a home meeting against the USA Dream Team.

The city side, who will compete in the National League next year, are set to play host to the visiting Americans in a Challenge Match on Good Friday, April 2.

When the two sides met, in October, it was the Dream Team who prevailed 49-44.

Chairman Mike Bowden said the match would, again, provide the Devils with a strong challenge ahead of their season in earnest.

The Devils chief has added three new signings – Lee Smethills, Matt Wright and Daniel Berwick – to the quartet of Mark Simmonds, Seemond Stephens, Paul Starke and Jaimie Pickard he kept from this year.

"We have arranged a match against the USA Dream team and it promises to be a cracking meeting," said Bowden.

"They are always a strong side, full of entertainment, and after they beat us earlier in the year, we will be looking to overturn that result.

"The result may not matter points wise, but pride will be at stake, and a win is a win."

Bowden, who made his new signings over the winter, added: "The meeting will be a good test for us prior to the start of the National League season.

"It will give us the opportunity of seeing how our side is shaping up and how competitive we are likely to be once the real action gets underway."

Meanwhile, former Devil and Plympton-based Tom Brown has signed for their National League rivals Weymouth Wildcats.

Brown rode for Plymouth for three seasons before leaving at the start of the year for Isle of Wight. However, after just one season with the Islanders, Brown has returned to Weymouth,whom he rode for in 2005.

Wildcats team manager Jem Dicken said: "I'm sure that every Wildcat supporter will be thrilled that we have agreed terms with Tom Brown.

"Tom was a member of the successful 2005 Knockout Cup winning side and spent most of last season riding in the Premier League for the Somerset Rebels.

"He has always been popular with the Weymouth faithful even when representing arch rivals Plymouth."
