There aren’t many sides who take anything from the Oak Tree Arena but after seven heats we were level with the Rebels at 21-21.
However, the home side put on a powerful display in the second half of the meeting to take a comfortable win.
The final score of 58-32 possibly didn’t do our efforts justice but we can have no complaints – Somerset are a formidable outfit at home.
We faced Brady Kurtz for the second evening in succession and it’s surely inevitable that this young man will be a GP regular in years to come.
He was unbeaten by a Glasgow rider as was veteran Leigh Lanham – both scoring paid maximums.
After last night’s heroics at Sheffield the Tigers put up a fighting display and can once again be proud of their efforts.
Aaron Summers took a couple of fine race wins, Richard one and Victor notched another heat 2 victory to add to his collection!
Rider replacement for Nick only yielded four points and after his stunning performance in the PL Pairs it would be fair to have expected our young Australian to have scored more.
Our guests Thomas Jorgensen and Richard Hall gave 100% and we thank them for their efforts.
We head to Rye House for the final leg of our three day tour in the hope that the final result will be closer than this evening.
Tigers scorers: Aaron Summers 8, Richard Lawson 6, Richard Hall (guest) 6, Thomas Jorgensen (guest) 5+1, Victor Palovaara 4, James Sarjeant 3.
