Kozza Smith chases Lewis Rose Picture: STEVE BROCK
SHEFFIELD bowed out of this year’s Knockout Cup after suffering a 103-77 aggregate defeat against Edinburgh. Reserve Arthur Sissis said: “It’s
a shame we are out of the cup, but we’ve just been so unlucky and we hope our fortunes will change pretty soon. “We’ve lost so many riders now,
we’ve lost almost all our team. There is only really me and Josh (Bates) still standing from the start of the season.”
SOMERSET moved to the top of the Premier League table after a stunning 57-33 away victory at Scunthorpe on Monday. Team manager Garry May said: “All the boys rode superbly; despite Scunthorpe having strengthened their side up ahead of this match, I still thought we could come and get the win and the boys did that and more besides! “It’s the best possible way to
prepare for our next home match against Newcastle at Oaktree on Friday.”
WORKINGTON completed their 2015 League Cup campaign with a 45-45 home draw with Berwick. Comets team manager Tony Jackson said: “Naturally it was disappointing not to get the win, but fair play to the Bandits who have been hit by injuries over the past few days but came here and made a real entertaining match of it.
“The loss of Kenneth (Hansen) maybe just cost us the win. Hopefully, after a few days’ rest, he will be able to take his place in the side for our visit to Edinburgh on Friday.”
BIRMINGHAM boss Graham Drury had mixed emotions after his side fought back to edge a 47-42 win over Eastbourne in the first leg of their National League Knockout Cup tie last week. The Brummies supremo admitted
they were targeting a more substantial lead to take to Arlington for the second leg next Sunday – but they were eventually

relieved to emerge with a narrow win on the night. Said Drury: “We ideally wanted a double figure lead from the meeting and to only come away being five points in front is disappointing; I expected more, but this cup tie is far from over. On the same hand it was a good spirited fight back and it was good to keep our unbeaten run going. “As seems to be the case in
every meeting, I thought Adam Ellis, Tom (Perry) and Zach (Wajtknecht) were all superb. We had a long tail end and it's something we need to look at, but for now we will focus on the positives and enjoy another win at Perry Barr.”
BUXTON boss Jason Pipe was full of praise for his side after they battled to a 47-43 triumph over Mildenhall at the Hi-Edge Raceway on Sunday. Pipe said: “All the boys mucked
in and helped each other. It was also pleasing to see that all seven riders scored points. There was
