TIGERS 55 EDINBURGH 35

Sunday August 20, 2017
SHEFFIELD enjoyed a super Sunday with a comprehensive 55-35 win over Edinburgh at Owlerton.

The Window Centre Tigers marched on to their 10th straight win with a powerful performance against the Monarchs.

No.1 Josh Grajczonek struck a faultless, four-ride maximum whilst Kyle Howarth and Lasse Bjerre also bagged double figures to lead the charge.

But they received plenty of support from throughout the side as all seven riders chipped in with solid contributions.

It was another convincing display from Simon Stead’s in-form side to move four points clear at the top of the SGB Championship table.

And Stead was delighted to keep their momentum going with a crushing victory on home shale.

Said Stead: “The pressure is on every meeting now because we just want to keep this winning run going.

“It was another strong performance and everyone has chipped in yet again, so we’re very happy with the way things played out.

“Everyone is high on confidence, but we know we need to keep working hard to keep it going.”

The Tigers will be back in action as they host Scunthorpe at Owlerton on Thursday (7.30).

SHEFFIELD 55: Josh Grajczonek 12, Kyle Howarth 12, Lasse Bjerre 11+1, Jan Graversen 7, Josh Bates 6+2, Todd Kurtz 5+2, Georgie Wood 2.
EDINBURGH 35: Ricky Wells 12, Josh Pickering 10+1, Mark Riss 6+1, Ty Proctor 5, Mitchell Davey 2, Max Clegg 0, Erik Riss 0.
