This week in continued from previous spread
“We must keep this momentum going now and start picking up some much needed league points in the coming weeks starting at Redcar on Thursday night.”
NEWCASTLE came from nine- points behind to pull off a 46- 43 home win against Glasgow. Team manager George English said: “I am very proud of what we have achieved; to come back from nine points down with a weakened team against a strong Glasgow side is sensational. “Lewis Rose was sensational
and our whole team deserves so much credit for the way they pulled together.”
PETERBOROUGH picked up a 46-44 Knockout Cup victory at home to Plymouth on Monday, but the meeting was overshadowed by the loss of Lewis Blackbird mid-meeting. Panthers boss Carl Johnson
said: “He has broken the ring finger and little finger on his right

hand; doctors are suggesting he will probably be out for between four-to-six weeks. “But knowing Lewis and knowing
the fact the British Final is three weeks away, I’m sure he will be desperate to return sooner.”
PLYMOUTH have given themselves a good chance of progressing through to the next round of the Knockout Cup after going down by just two points (46-44) in a spirited performance away at Peterborough on Monday. Co-promoter Ashley Taylor said: “It was good to see Todd Kurtz

getting among the points with a couple of race wins in his first meeting of the season. “Although we have a history of
going to Peterborough and getting good results, we have already lost twice at home to the Panthers this season so we can’t be complacent.”
REDCAR’s miserable May continued with a heavy 58-32 loss at Rye House on Monday. A tough meeting saw the Bears
win just three of the 15 races as they slipped to their fourth successive defeat. The Bears now face home and
away fixtures against Ipswich on Thursday and Saturday respectively.
RYE HOUSE picked up an impressive 58-32 victory at home to Redcar on Bank Holiday Monday, but are awaiting an update on a possible injury to captain Edward Kennett. Team manager John Sampford
said: “It’s a bit unfair to focus on just a few of the boys; I was really pleased with all of them because everybody contributed to that result. “They suspect that he (Kennett)
has one or more broken bones relating to his little finger but he won’t know for certain until the swelling has gone down enough to enable it to be x-rayed.”
SCUNTHORPE suffered a heavy 57-33 home defeat against Somerset on Monday, meaning the Scorpions have won just one of their 13 meetings in 2015. Team manager Dave Peet said:
“It was an extremely tough meeting for us; we won’t be pointing the finger because there was no lack of effort from our boys, we were simply beaten by a better side. “We now have to focus on our
next meeting at Plymouth on Saturday; the lads have far from given up and there’s much more to come from us.”
