This week in continued from previous spread
advantage over Workington from a competitive KO Cup first leg tie at Brough Park.
The Diamonds won 49-41 with Steve Worrall scoring 13 points and twice getting the better of visiting No.1 Craig Cook, who also scored 13 and produced a stunning Heat 13 effort to defeat Worrall and Robert Lambert.
Newcastle boss George English said: “We were looking for maybe ten points or more to lead for the second leg over in Cumbria, but that said this was a hard-fought match with some tremendous racing, and I have to congratulate Craig Cook for his moves in Heat 13 which was nothing short of pure brilliance.
“The lads know what they have to do, when the second leg is rescheduled, but for now we look for our first League match of the SGB Championship.”

and has made a big impression on us already. “We think he can lead by example and look to set the standard for others to follow.”
GLASGOW boss Stewart Dickson is backing his reserves after a tough opening night win over Scunthorpe.
The Tigers took a 53-37 victory in their first SGB Championship fixture on Saturday, but that result didn’t tell the full story as they led by just two points with four heats to go – before reeling off three 5-1s in the closing stages. Dickson said: “Tom Perry got better as the night went on. I think he struggled a bit with the slick conditions and he was trying hard, but his Heat 12 was the catalyst for the win, and he got the 4-2 with Nike Lunna in Heat 14. “He was certainly quite frustrated during the evening but was a lot more positive at the end of the meeting – and Jack (Smith)
