<description><![CDATA[SCUNTHORPE Speedway Promoter Rob Godfrey has announced that Richard Hollingsworth has stepped down from team managing duties for the Scunthorpe Scorpions.<br /><br />Godfrey said: &#8220;Quite simply Richard was doing too much and he decided something had to give. I fully understand his decision because he does so much for this club. Nothing else will change and he will continue to organise the Saints&#8217; team, the practices and the amateur meetings, along with a multitude of other jobs that go unseen. <br /><br />&#8220;Of course we now have the job of finding a replacement, but the important thing is that Richard will remain involved with the club.&#8221;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[HENDERSON INSURANCE Scunthorpe Scorpions took all three League Cup points with a 50-38 home win over local rivals Sheffield Tigers at a freezing cold Eddie Wright Raceway yesterday evening (Friday) &#8211; thus avenging a defeat at Sheffield the previous night.<br /><br />It was a win achieved despite Scunthorpe&#8217;s Josh Bates crashing out of proceedings in Heat 2. 17-year-old Bates was holding second place, behind Damien Koppe, when he crashed on the third lap. He sustained an injury to his ankle, and went off to hospital for an X-ray. It could be that the ankle is just swollen and bruised &#8211; but more will be known later today (Saturday).]]></description>
