Joe & Josh head into the 3rd bend ahead of the hard pressing Derek Sneddon. Josh eventually ended up on his arse, but Joe hung on for the two points needed for the full three points. A good start for the Tigers, but a Newcastle 8 -1 in heat 5 drew the scores back in. As with last week, it was the later heats that decided the points. Raj & Henry took a vital 5-1 in heat 12. Josh & Joe did the business in 13 to take the gap out to nine. The final heat was a beauty, with Lemon gating and going. From there it was down to Joe & Josh to keep out Stuart Robson. Josh tumbled on the last lap, but Joe held on to bring in the points for the Tigers.
Both sides lost reserves early on, with Nick Morris & Richie Worrall succumbing to their heat two bumps. Nick was a definite miss for Glasgow, though fellow reserve Michal Rajkowski covered the bases fairly well. Not the best day out for Theo Pijper or James Grieves, but hell, it's bike racing, they'll be back and it'll be someone elses turn to have a slow day.
Best wishes to the team on Monday. I'll be at Rab Ha's with the rest of the non-travelling Tigers crew. See you there if yr not off to Brough Park.
