If Cooperman and 'The Champ' had been at bRough park the scoreline could have been a lot more embarassing for the Diamonds who sufferred badly with mechanical gremlins. A good show by the weakened Tigers but at what cost? Already without André who was suffering with a stiff neck following his fall at Owlerton on Thursday, we had Ricky taken to hospital with concussion after he collected his team mate in heat 10! A good show from Sean, Richard made his point well, Ben collected a heat win and Benji will he happy although a lot of his points were gifted to him. Ricky seems to be struggling so far and we hope his hospital visit shows no lasting problems. Kyle managed to avoid falling in more than half his rides, but I must admit I was expecting more from him on his first visit to a small track.
