Howe's
That
Posted 05/08/05
Glasgow riders gave a good account of themselves
in this evening's Scottish Open at Armadale but unfortunately were
no match for the impressive David Howe, this years Scottish Open Champion.
Despite some dubious refereeing decisions, George and Shane
both managed to qualify for the semi final against Lemon and Lyons.
Glasgow asset David McAllan made a gallant attempt at making the semi
final himself - if he had won heat 20 instead of George he would have
lined up along side Shane.
In the semi final, George gated and Shane joined him at the
from coming out of the second bend and the Pairs Champions were heading
for the final. However,the final itself ended up being something of
an anti climax. Shane stated afterwards he felt George was coming
off on the first bend and laid his bike down. The referee was unimpressed,
the race carried on, with Howe wining relatively unchallenged, home
rider Theo Pijper in second and George third.
It was a decent display from both Tigers team members and
an excellent effort from Glasgow asset David McAllan but the end result
was the correct one with David Howe a worthy champion.
