Tigers new captain The Tigers had a strange line-up at Armadale. Josh Grajczonek was riding for his Premiership club Somerset (5+2 v Belle Vue), Josh Bates along with Josh Pickering were en-route to Pocking for U21 duty, and Jack Parkinson-Blackburn has apparently asked for a break from the Sheffield team. Although he has been struggling, essentially on the run to the first bend, management and supporters alike have been happy to give him the chance to settle in.

Kyle did another grand captains job and took two excellent race wins late in the match to claim the extra match point. Aaron Summers did us proud and included a tactical 6 point win to bring us back into the match, Lasse improved as the night progressed and Rob teamed up with Lasse for a vital 5-1 in heat 12.

Brough Park on Sunday. I wonder how many of the team will be available for that one. I might be tempted to go if they are at full strength...
