Premier League Knockout Cup, first-round, second-leg: Edinburgh Monarchs 59, Sheffield Tigers 31 (agg: 103-77)
Craig Cook and Kevin Wolbert both collected 14 points each as fired-up Edinburgh Monarchs last night (FRI) roared into the quarter-final of the Premier League Knockout Cup.
The holders, who lost the first-leg 46-44 in Yorkshire on Thursday, mauled Sheffield Tigers 59-31.
They had to bounce back after suffering an early shock when former racer Steve Worrall, a late replacement, and another guest, Lasse Bjerre, took a 5-1.
But order was restored quickly thanks to three 5-1 scorelines in four heats as Monarchs powered 22-14 ahead.
The cup holders never looked back and recorded seven 5-1s in the 15 heats to line-up a quarter-final tie with Redcar Bears on an aggregate of 103-77.
Edinburgh: Sam Masters 7, Erik Riss 7, Kevin Wolbert 14, Justin Sedgmen 6, Craig Cook 14, Max Clegg 5, Robert Branford 6
Sheffield: Lasse Bjerre (guest 7), Steve Worrall (guest) 5, Ashley Birks 1, Jason Garrrity 10, rider replacement for Andre Compton, Arthur Sissis 3, Josh Bates 5
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
