Glasgow were at full strength again but Hull used R/R for Emiliano Sanchez and had Luke Priest at number 6 as a guest reserve replacement for Joel Parsons. Having scored 33 and 43 points in their last two home matches, Glasgow hit the jackpot with a crushing 35 point win over a ‘disappointing’ Hull side. The Vikings were only 10 points down by the end of heat 7 but collapsed completely over the last 8 heats in which they scored only 12 points and even two of them were extra points from TRs! Glasgow got off to a cracking start with 5-1s in the opening two heats but Craig Branney won heat 3 for a shared heat. Little were Hull to know that he was to be their only race winner all match. A 4-2 from Parker and Cockle took the heat 4 score to 17-7 then Paul Thorp took a TR in heat 5. A second place to Claus Kristensen earned Hull a 4-4 and the next two heats were also shared to take the heat 7 score to 27-17. The roof caved in after that for Hull. Garry Stead’s TR in heat 9 was worth only one extra point as he finished third to Stefan Ekberg and Claus Kristensen then Emil Kramer took a Tactical Substitute ride from 15 metres back to earn another extra point as he finished third to James Cockle and Stefan Ekberg. For Glasgow Trent Leverington scored his first ever paid maximum for the Tigers and, reserve, James Cockle and Claus Kristensen also had their best returns for the team. Match Report by Merlin |
