report from the Daily Record GLASGOW failed to overcome an Edinburgh Monarchs side led by the untouchable Craig Cook on Sunday. The Tigers battled their way from the back in several races at Ashfield, but their poor heat starts let them down on too many occasions. Edinburgh's strong performance at the gate proved crucial and Cook, as always, led the way with a 15-point haul. It was Glasgow's third defeat in three days, after losing - albeit putting up a good battle - at Armadale on Friday and at Workington on Saturday. Australian Rusty Harrison was the most impressive man in home colours at Ashfield - his incredible pass around two Monarchs riders in heat 12 raising the roof. Anders Thomsen backed up Harrison by chasing down Justin Sedgman on the line to tie the scores and set up a tense finish to the meeting. A three-all in heat 13 meant it was anyone's match going into the last two races. However, impressive Edinburgh reserve Steve Worrall raced too far ahead of Mark Lemon in heat 14 to gain a Monarchs advantage, and that was followed by another 4-2 in heat 15. New boys Dimitri Berge and Kasper Lykke fared well, scoring four and five respectively on their home debuts and battling by their opponents on more than one occasion. But new No 1 Kevin Wolbert didn't manage race win, while captain Theo Pijper bagged just one victory from five races. For Edinburgh, Cook was in untouchable form and Worrall raced home with 11 while Sam Masters scored 10 and Max Fricke 8. |
