Castleford 15 Mk Knights 21 --mdl Fri Apr 5th


Recommended Posts

Reigning champions Milton Keynes put in a powerhouse display at Scunthorpe and showed newcomers Castleford the level they have to strive to reach. Though they had a disastrous start in heat 1 when the unlucky Conor Dwyer fell but thankfully the initial diagnosis that he had broken the same arm proved not to be the case. However Conor was not able to resume racing and was replaced in his other two programmed rides. Castleford had their own problems with Liam Rumsey on new machinery notably slowing until he blew an engine in heat 6 though limping home for a point. Highlight of the evening was the previously unbeaten Max Clegg reeling in Nathan Greaves for the first two laps of the race before making a spectacular pass around the outside in the dirt to claim a 9 point maximum.

Hi Main Man,,

 

Danny Phillips took Connor Dwyer's ride in Heat 4, not Nathan Greaves.

 

Nathan Greaves finished second in Heat 6, not Sam Woods.

 

Correct MK scorechart:

 

Conor Dwyer FX (0)

San Woods 3 1* 2* 0 (6+2)

Nathan Greaves 2 3 2 (7)

Danny Phillips 1* 2* 2 3 (8-2)
