Plymouth Gladiators v Redcar Bears

PLYMOUTH are through to the MAXiCab KO Cup Final after a pulsating clash with Redcar which went right down to the last of the tie’s 30 races.

Scott Nicholls and Danny King were the heroes for the Gladiators as they secured a 5-1 in Heat 15 for a 48-42 win on the night, giving them a narrow 91-89 aggregate victory.

Nicholls and Kjng had put the home side ahead overall when they took maximum points in Heat 13, only for Bears duo Jason Edwards and Jody Scott to hit back in Heat 14 after Ben Barker had crashed out.

But the home side prevailed and can now look forward to a Cup Final appearance against either holders Poole or Berwick.

Nicholls again rolled back the years with 14 from five rides for the Gladiators and King scored 11+3, whilst Redcar reserves Jake Mulford (11) and Scott (8+2) helped keep their side in contention throughout.
