“GUTSY” WIN FOR TIGERS

GLASGOW boss Cami Brown was delighted as his side produced a “gutsy” win over Plymouth.

The Allied Vehicles Tigers beat the Gladiators 55-35 in the Cab Direct Championship at Ashfield on Friday night. 

It was a fierce battle but the home side had the outstanding stars of the meeting in Ben Basso and Chris Harris.

Brown said: “Plymouth are bottom of the league but I warned everyone they are a good side.

“They proved that tonight. They really took it to us and their top three are very strong.

“But I was really happy with the way our boys tackled the meeting. It was a really gutsy performance.

“Chris Harris was outstanding once again and his win over Ben Barker from the back in Heat 10 was another classic. He never gives up and the fans love him.

“We’ve now got a tough run of fixtures coming up in August and we need to be consistent.

“There are really good signs that the boys are coming into form at just the right time.

“We need to get a bit more out of Tom Brennan. He’s struggling to get out of the starts at Ashfield. But he’s a top quality rider and I’m sure that will come.”

Brown was also quick to praise the track staff after another meeting of terrific racing. It also included a sensational last race from Basso to complete a 15-point maximum after passing Kyle Howarth on the final bend. 

He added: “We want top class entertainment at Glasgow and we got it tonight. 

“The track staff work night and day to get it right. But this sport is all about exciting racing and Ashfield delivers it. There were three epic races tonight.”

Glasgow 55: Ben Basso 15, Chris Harris 11, Claus Vissing 7+2, Ace Pijper 6+2, Tom Brennan 6, Marcin Nowak 5+1, Lee Complin 4+1.

Plymouth 35: Kyle Howarth 12+1, Richie Worrall 10+1, Ben Barker 7+1, Jacob Hook 4+1, Tom Colley 1+1, Lee Trigger 1.
