<description><![CDATA[Steven Jones is looking for a National League place and if this meeting was anything to go by he shouldn&#8217;t have to wait long.  From beginning to end the Open Class looked like being a three way fight for top spot and when Jones trailed former pro Gary O&#8217;Hare and King&#8217;s Lynn&#8217;s Jake Knight on a slick track in the final it looked like he would have to settle for third place.  However, he showed a lot of skill, determination and bravery to eventually round both riders in what was a fantastic finale to the 68th amateur meeting at Scunthorpe Speedway.]]></description>
