MORRIS WINS TAI TESTIMONIAL

LEICESTER and Berwick star Nick Morris was the winner of Tai Woffinden’s Testimonial in front of a huge crowd at the Shaleway on Saturday.

Fans turned out in force in support of the treble World Champion, who brought a glittering career to a close earlier this season.

Morris has been one of the form riders in league racing in the closing stages of the campaign, and he topped the scorechart on 12 points before storming from the outside gate to win the Final.

Joining him on the rostrum were Sam Masters and the evergreen Scott Nicholls, with Tom Brennan finishing just outside the top three.

Morris said: “I’m feeling good. What a night for Tai, and obviously to win a few races and get the win tonight is a bonus, but a perfect night.

“Everyone is going home safe and the fans got a good night of racing, so everyone’s happy.”

Woffinden said: “What a turnout. I still see myself as a kid that came over from Perth, and to see all the people here blows my mind. I couldn’t be happier.

“I tried to put on a great show, and I hope everyone had a great time, thank you to everyone.”
