Swindon Wildcats are confident they can win the English Premier League play-offs this weekend, according to general manager Steve Nell.

Wildcats face Guildford Flames in Coventry on Saturday, with the winners going through to Sunday's final.

Nell told BBC Wiltshire:"There's no doubt in my mind we can beat them. We've beaten Slough, Manchester and Guildford recently so we're confident."

Slough Jets take on Manchester Phoenix in the other semi-final on Saturday.

Swindon only scraped into the playoffs by finishing eighth but beat the league winners Milton Keynes last weekend.

"We always planned to be at the play-offs and once you get there it's up to anybody," said Nell.

"I'm sure there are a lot of people that wrote us off in January but we planned it out and we end up getting there.

The Wildcats' semi-final against Guildford starts at 1500 BST on Saturday.
