report from The Scotsman
HOLDERS Edinburgh Monarchs still have a tentative hold on Scottish speedway’s Spring Trophy despite yesterday’s narrow 46-44 first-leg defeat by Glasgow Tigers at Ashfield Stadium.
The Tigers were delighted to end Monarchs’ recent dominance at Saracen Park - and Capital boss John Campbell wasn’t downhearted with the result either, feeling his side will overturn the deficit at Armadale on Friday.
He said: "From a purely business point of view it’s nice to lose because the Glasgow fans will come out in force for the deciding leg."
Regarding Monarchs’ overall performance, Campbell was happy with what he saw, saying: "I was certainly pretty pleased and the signs are there that we will do very well this season. Everybody was involved in the action on what was a very wet track and I and everybody else were very impressed by our new Australian Cameron Woodward in particular. But I think Glasgow might have a problem with heavy tracks at home - although they won’t be racing us every week and we are probably the best team round Ashfield.
"Glasgow’s big two James Grieves and Shane Parker were very good and I don’t think many visiting teams will score as many as we did." Monarchs recruited Sheffield’s Sean Wilson as a guest for the missing Frede Schott, and the Yorkshireman did not disappoint, top scoring with 12 points from five races.
Campbell admitted Monarchs are not missing the Dane at the moment. "It’s very much the start of the season and very much a warm-up situation. There is no great motivation from anyone because they are all trying to settle in. Sean did a great job for us."
Rory Schlein was the other Monarch to hit double figures, collecting ten points from his five outings. Schlein’s only slack ride was in heat ten when he was relegated to third place by George Stancl and Graham Jones. And it was this one and only Tigers’ 5-1 which ultimately proved the difference between the sides.
On Saturday Monarchs also slipped to a slender 50-46 Premier Trophy reverse against Workington Comets at a chilly Derwent Park.
Schlein was again among the points, picking up a total of 14 which included a new-rule tactical ride in heat 11. Stand-in guest Craig Boyce was in outstanding form scorching to a 16-point haul - which also included a tactical ride. Boyce was the only visitor to defeat home ace Carl Stonehewer. This was no mean feat - ‘Stoney’ looked razor sharp but Boyce lowered his colours in a memorable heat 13 skirmish.
Campbell admitted the change in tactical regulations kept Monarchs in a match they might have lost by more. He said: "That’s what the rules were set up for in the first place and it kept the tension going right to the finish. We did well to take advantage of our tactical rides." |
