Glasgows first Academy League match got underway the weekend before last, after the Workington meeting. A lineup of Gary Beaton, Ricky Lee Beecroft, John Morrison and James McBain took on a Stars side of David Haigh, John MacPhail, Mark White and James Cartmell that had narrowly won at Workington the night before.

A bit of a nightmare for the Stars all told. Beaton and Morrison recorded two victories each, McBain taking one and Beecroft managing a 2nd and two thirds. Despite an opening heat win for David Haigh, it was a variety of engine failures for Northsides Mark White and a series of tumbles that put paid to Northsides hopes. The score ran out at 27 - 8 to the Giants.
