Transcript

00:00 It may be a few weeks later than originally planned, but Sheffield finally got their home

00:05 meetings underway at Owlerton this evening, and it was a winning start to their home speedway

00:11 meetings against the Kingsland side that Tigers have yet to lose to since returning to the

00:17 Premiership. This time, Tigers had won by the end of Heat 11. Tigers won the meeting

00:26 58-32 in the end, with Jack Holder finishing with a paid maximum from four rides. There

00:34 were moments of great drama, not least when Vadim Tarasenko, the Kingsland rider, appeared

00:41 to break down in front of Tigers skipper Kyle Howarth, just when Howarth was appearing to

00:47 be in the process of overtaking him. It left Kyle with nowhere to go and caused a crash.

00:55 Tarasenko was excluded and the race was awarded as the riders stood at that point. There was

01:06 also a dramatic last lap overtake in Heat 9 as Josh Pickering passed Tobias Muselac

01:15 on the third bend to win the Heat. In terms of the actual individual scores this evening,

01:26 the scores were Jack Holder 10 points and 2 bonus points, Kyle Howarth 5, Chris Holder

01:34 12, Josh Pickering 8+1, Ty Wattenden 12, Jason Edwards 4+1 and Dan Jilks 7+2. That was for

01:49 the Tigers. And for Kingsland, Tobias Muselac returning to Owlton for the first time since

01:55 his move to Kingsland finished with 12 and 1, Michael Palmtoft finished with 2+1, Tom

02:06 Brennan guesting for Benjamin Basso was on 9, Patrick Wojdylo was on 2 and Anders Rowe

02:15 finished on 7.
