The Predators will battle it out alongside seven of the UK’s other leading teams in Perth, Scotland.

A club spokesman said: “We are going to play in our fourth consecutive National Finals. The last two years we have got all the way to the final and come second in the UK; this year we are ready to change that and bring gold to Hastings!”
