Scorpions struggle in the wet
WORKINGTON COMETS 58 SCUNTHORPE SCORPIONS 34 (PREMIER LEAGUE)
HENDERSON INSURANCE Scunthorpe Scorpions lost 34-58 at Workington yesterday (Saturday), as their tough run continued.
The meeting was interrupted by a heavy rain shower after five races, with the track heavy for the rest of the evening.
New signing Lewis Kerr made his debut for Scorpions, but suffered a fall in Heat 8 after taking off googles to try to aid his visibility and finished his evening’s work with paid 4.
Ryan Douglas came the closest to providing Scorpions with a heat winner, when he led his tactical ride in Heat 9, but he was overhauled by Kenneth Hansen.
