When the venue for this season's PL Fours competition was confirmed, many felt that Glasgow were in with a good chance of at least making the rostrum, but those hopes faded with Kauko Nieminen's heat 15 crash the night before at Armadale. The Quintet who turned out for Glasgow on the night gave a very good account of themselves but unfortunately did not qualify through from the group stages.

All five riders had at least one outing - Robert replacing Lee in heat 4 after Lee failed to beat the two minute time allowance. Danny managed two second places, in both instances being beaten by a home rider. Shane recorded the tigers only heat win in heat 2 whilst David picked up two thirds with Lee picking up a third in his only outing.

Glasgow had another injury fright on the night when Captain Shane Parker took a very heavy fall in his second race, colliding heavily with the third bend fence after picking up unexpected drive. He went in back first and spent some time in the ambulance being checked over with very heavy bruising to his lower back to the extent that at one stage his participation in Sunday's pairs was at risk.

In the end, Glasgow's 10 points in the qualifying group were 2 points short of seeing them through to final stages with the eventual winners and runners up on the night - Workington and Somerset, going through from their group instead.

Somerset pushed Workington all the way in the final with Sheffield claiming third ahead of King's Lynn. Our congratulations to Workington on their win.
