CAMI Brown insists he remains proud of his Glasgow riders after a late rally from Eastbourne saw them miss out on another away win.
The Tigers led by eight points halfway through the match, but in circumstances reminiscent of recent defeats at Redcar and Scunthorpe, they fell away late in the meeting as the home team took victory.
It was a challenging return for Connor Bailey at reserve, as he hit the deck several times and failed to score from his three rides.
Sam Jensen also had his least fruitful appearance of the season, scoring a solitary point, as the rest of the Tigers took a couple of victories each – but that wasn’t enough to prevent the 47-43 defeat.
However, they return to Ashfield with another SGB Championship point – extending their lead over Scunthorpe at the top of the table to three points.
Team boss Brown said: “The result is hurting a little, but I am very pleased with the overall effort the guys put in.
“They did not give up and gave it their all.
“Eastbourne played around with the track and tried everything they could, but in the Glasgow camp I saw a team coming together.
“Not many teams will get a point there and we had 10 heat winners, which shows the quality we have in the side.
“I hope we can push on now.”
The Tigers now face Newcastle at Ashfield on Friday in their next league encounter.
