FIVE points is Glasgow’s lead at the top of the SGB Championship after a 48-42 win over Redcar tonight.
Another strong performance from the Tigers’ top three – and some vital points from both reserves – was enough to see off the Bears who kept the home team honest throughout.
Connor Bailey had perhaps his best meeting in Glasgow colours so far with five points – including a win in heat two – while Claus Vissing posted 13, his strongest score in a while.
New signing Mikkel B Andersen had a tougher night, managing just one point from five outings.
Redcar took a consolation point after new British Champion Charles Wright headed home Craig Cook and Rasmus Jensen in heat 15, giving their play-off hopes a boost.
Tomorrow, Glasgow travel to Eastbourne for the second leg of their Championship Shield semi-final to defend a four-point lead, bringing to an end a hectic period of seven meetings in a fortnight.
