30.10.11: Makeshift Saints shape up well in Wales |
|
| The championship winning Jotun Paints Scunthorpe Saints travelled down to South Wales to complete the formalities of their last league meeting today without their top five riders. However, with Team Manager Stuart Parnaby having one eye on next season, his makeshift side performed admirably on a difficult track. They eventually went down 50-37 when the meeting was abandoned after fourteen races with team captain, Adam Wrathall, top scoring with fourteen points. |  |

23.10.11: Saints win title after dramatic second leg |
|
| The Jotun Paints Scunthorpe Saints became National League champions tonight after a dramatic second leg where for most of the meeting they looked like losing out to the Mildenhall Fen Tigers. A series of falls and engine failures left them behind on aggregate after just eight of the fifteen races had been completed. The score was 39-9 to Mildenhall and with both tactical rides used it was hard to see how the Saints could win on aggregate. However, an outstanding fight back culminated in a sensational 5-1 in heat 15 to snatch the title 93-92 on aggregate. | |

21.10.11: 29-point lead in title decider |
|
| The Jotun Paints Scunthorpe Saints produced one of their best displays of the season in the first leg of the National League Playoff Final last night when they defeated the Mildenhall Fen Tigers 62-33 at the Eddie Wright Raceway. The result makes them strong favourites to claim the National League title on Sunday night when they race the second leg in Suffolk (4.30pm start). Leading the scoring were twin brothers Steve and Richie Worrall who both racked up twelve points (and two bonus points for finishing directly behind their team mates) and produced a thrilling 5-1 in heat 15 to defeat Mildenhall’s number one Cameron Heeps and Lewis Blackbird. | |

14.10.11: Scorpions just miss out |
|
| The Henderson Insurance Scunthorpe Scorpions lost 50-43 at Somerset last night but only a pass by Somerset’s James Wright in the last race prevented the Scorpions from finishing with consecutive 5-1s and claiming a league point. The Rebels produced three maximum heat wins in the first four races and when the Scorpions’ first tactical ride failed to reap any reward in heat 5 it looked like being a long night for visiting side. | |
