SHEFFIELD skipper Josh Pickering admits he wasn’t expecting a 24 point winning margin against King’s Lynn - but says it highlights his side’s own strength.

The Tru7 Group Tigers recorded a second comfortable victory on home shale in the space of seven days with another stylish display in the Steel City as they ran out 57-33 winners.

Five advantages in the opening six races helped set the tone on another impressive Owlerton outing.

The Tigers won 13 of the 15 races with Pickering securing a full five ride maximum against his former employers whilst Jack Holder also went unbeaten by an opponent with Chris Holder and Anders Rowe both in double figures.

“It was awesome,” Pickering said.

“I did think it was going to be a lot closer to be honest with you.

“They’ve got a stacked side the whole way through and they can be very strong - but it just goes to show you how good we are.

“We were torn between the gates to be honest, we didn’t really know what to do.

“We were going to defer to Heat 15 but why change a winning formula when it worked last week.

“We all hit the ground running, which is what we have to do, and to pull an early lead on King’s Lynn, that was very important.

“I’m very proud of the boys.”

The Tigers now have a two week break in their schedule before Oxford visit the Steel City on Thursday, April 24 (7.30pm).
