Report
SCUNTHORPE raced to a healthy first leg led in their BSN Series semi-final away from home as they won 49-40 at Edinburgh on Friday.
The Monarchs started well with a 5-1 in Heat 1 but things went downhill from there, and after the returning Justin Sedgmen won his first two rides he then crashed in Heat 11 and had to pull out with hand and arm injuries.
Michael Palm Toft scored an impressive 12 for the Scorpions, including four race wins, and Jake Allen added 10. Josh Pickering notched 11 for the Monarchs.
Pickering said: “I’m very disappointed, it’s not what I expected and it’s not what I wanted. I’m quite annoyed to be honest.
“We needed more race wins, we didn’t have enough heat winners and when we did win, it was 3-3s. We lost Sedgy which is no good.”
EDINBURGH 40: Josh Pickering 11, Paco Castagna 7+1, Kye Thomson 6+2, Justin Sedgmen 6, Connor Coles 5, Lasse Fredriksen 3, Max James 2.
SCUNTHORPE 49: Michael Palm Toft 12, Jake Allen 10, Kyle Howarth 9, Connor Mountain 5+2, Luke Harrison 5+2, Simon Lambert 4+2, Nathan Ablitt 4.
