JENKINS INJURY SCARE

OXFORD star Jordan Jenkins was taken to hospital following a crash in the Cheetahs’ home defeat to Poole on Wednesday.

Jenkins suffered an injury to his abdomen in the Heat 12 incident where he spun on the second lap and his machine was clipped by the following Lewis Kerr, leading to a heavy fall.

He was able to stand up before being driven back to the pits, where it was deemed that further checks would be necessary.

Manager Peter Schroeck said: “Jordan took a nasty knock to his abdomen. His oxygen levels were low, so the medics were concerned about it and took him to hospital, and we wish him well – Jordan has been in the wars this season.”
