KO Cup Final 2nd Leg: Glasgow Tigers 49 Newport Wasps 41 (Newport win 106-78 on aggregate)




Well done to Newport Wasps, winners of the 2011 Premier League KO Cup.  A masterful performance at home on Saturday night saw the Wasps take a virtually unbeatable 65-25 lead to Ashfield, where they continued to press the home side to ensure the Tigers wouldn't stage any kind of miraculous comeback on a rather heavy track that saw a number of hairy moments for a few riders.

  With the cup all but lost, and looming double headers, it was a chance for Glasgow riders to get the previous nights frustrations out of their systems and set themselves up for the six remaining meetings that would decide the destination of this years Premier League title, with all but the previous nights top scorer Nick Morris & Michal Rajkowski (withdrawn after a groin strain) picking up decent points.  New boy David Bellego continued to impress despite only 3 points.  He's got plenty speed and with sharper gating, he'll start to pull in the points at Ashfield.
