Glasgow Tigers 47 Somerset Rebels 43

George wears the colours on his sleeve (ok it's his wrist, you know what I mean.....)
Tigers come round after the match, with Shane Parker along for the ride.

Travis exits the frame, with Josh holding off Lubos Tomicek.


Same race as above, with Josh out on his own.



Anders holds off Mark Baseby & Kyle Howarth. Only three points, but paid for five. Anders was good entertainment, but didn't get the return he deserved, mainly because he was getting squeezed out badly in the opening bends.

Josh looking stylish through the 3rd bend. Should have scored about nine, but got thumped with an exclusion in his 1st heat for being the cause of a 2nd 'unsatisfactory start'.

I have real problems telling some of the Somerset team apart, due to their matching Kevlars & bike covers. Going by the riding style and the lower segment of his helmet, I think this may be none other than Ashfield legend Shane Parker.

Big Lee

Jamie Courtney got man of the meeting for his eight points from six rides. A heat win, two 2nd places and a 3rd, with two unprogrammed rides contributing half his haul. Definitely improving a bit.

An absolutely heaving Ashfield awaits the start of heat 5. Yes, they were freebies, and yes many won't be back, but of the 1800 or so in the ground, if a hundred come back, even on a semi-regular basis, the exercise will have been worthwhile.
