Sheffield Tigers v World Select

Report

KYLE Howarth admits he was overwhelmed by the support he received for his Testimonial at Owlerton on Wednesday.

An entertaining contest went down to a last heat decider as a Sheffield Tigers side beat a Rest of the World Select 48-42.

The top four points scorers from the programmed rides were then involved in a ‘Dash for Cash’ heat, which was won by Chris Harris who opted to split the prize with the other competitors.

Howarth said: “It was a good close meeting that went down to the last heat, we saw some good racing and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves so I can’t ask for much more than that.

“There’s a lot of people to thank; I want to start by thanking the supporters. It was a great turnout, it wouldn’t have been the same without them, so a big thank you to everyone who came and supported me.

“I want to thank each and every one of the boys who gave up their night for me as well. They all did a great job, they put a lot on the line throughout the night and they helped put on some great racing.

“To all the sponsors who donated money to help cover costs, again I couldn’t have done this without you all so thank you.

“I want to thank the promotion at Sheffield Speedway, the staff, the guys at Owlerton Stadium, and the many people who have put so much effort in behind the scenes to get this meeting on.”
