Glasgow Tigers v Plymouth Gladiators

GLASGOW have gone top of the Championship after a hard-fought 49-41 win over Plymouth at Ashfield.

The Tigers went ten points up in the first four heats but were then pegged by the Gladiators, who remained in contention for a league point – but 4-2s to the visitors in the final two races saw them fall just short.

Craig Cook led the way for the Tigers with 13 points at the top of a solid team display, whilst guest Chris Harris won three races to finish with 11 for the Gladiators.

Glasgow skipper Ulrich Ostergaard said: “Plymouth have a really strong team – they had a good guest in Bomber – and (Ben) Barker, Michael Palm Toft and Hans Andersen are experienced riders.

“We knew we had to be on our toes tonight to get the points and I’m really proud of the team.

“We had two guests, that can be a bit complicated sometimes, but they did a really good job and everybody chipped in with points.”
