SCORPIONS SEAL VITAL WIN

SKIPPER Josh Pickering and youngster Ryan Ingram were the home heroes as Scunthorpe secured a dramatic 49-41 win over Glasgow at the Eddie Wright Raceway.

Pickering roared to another 15-point maximum with numerous bursts from the back whilst 16-year-old Ingram, in his first season of senior racing, played a vital role in the closing stages.

Ingram was disqualified from his first ride for a fall but he scored 11+2 from his remaining five outings, winning Heats 12 and 14 and then partnering Pickering to a maximum in Heat 15 ahead of Tigers stars Kyle Howarth (13+1) and Leon Flint.

Glasgow boss Cami Brown said: “It’s obviously a very frustrating defeat because we were in the mix and got into good positions to win the meeting. 

“They got a 5-1 in the last heat which makes the scoreline look more comfortable for them. But trailing by just two points with three races to go I felt we could get something from the meeting.

“It’s just hard to take because I felt we were so close to getting a vital away win. It was there for the taking. The priority now is to make sure we get the aggregate point in the return fixture at Ashfield.”
