Fri 4 Jul 2008: Scunthorpe 52 - 41 Berwick

Match Report

Scunthorpe Scorpions 52

“Anderson’s Quality Butchers” Berwick Bandits 41

(Premier League)

On Friday night at the South Humberside based Scorpions side, the Berwick Bandits held a Scunthorpe side well under control until the latter stages despite losing the services of Tony Atkin in Heat One.

 

At the back at the time Atkin went down solo on the second bend of the last lap injuring a hand to the extent his match was over, although lasting damage could be minimal on initial medical reports.

 

Michal Makovsky again suffered from a bout of his current malady, inconsistency as he opened in Heat Three with a last place, followed up in Heat Seven with a stunning pass on bend three to put himself in an unassailable position.

 

He took one more win surrounded by a couple of ineffective thirds.

 

10 points down with five races to go, Berwick’s guest Henning Bager was put on a tactical ride in Heat 11 which he won in fine style for six points over Emiliano Sanchez and Scott Smith in a 2-7 heat advantage to haul their deficit back to five points, and following Makovsky’s second win in Heat 12 Scunthorpe’s lead was cut to 39-36.
