Legault injury worry for Sheffield.
Sheffield remain without an away win in the Premier Trophy despite making a sensational start in an extraordinary meeting at Derwent Park. It is highly unusual to see a meeting which includes both teams using the tactical ride facility - but that is exactly what happened here.
5-1s for the Tigers in Heats 2 and 3 and a 4-2 in Heat 5 gave them a 10-pont lead, only for the Comets to hit back with a burst of heat advantages mid-meeting.
Sheffield remain without an away win in the Premier Trophy despite making a sensational start in an extraordinary meeting at Derwent Park. It is highly unusual to see a meeting which includes both teams using the tactical ride facility - but that is exactly what happened here.
5-1s for the Tigers in Heats 2 and 3 and a 4-2 in Heat 5 gave them a 10-pont lead, only for the Comets to hit back with a burst of heat advantages mid-meeting.
Workington secured the match in Heat 13 but Sheffield kept on fighting, knowing that there will be a bonus point at stake when the teams meet again at Owlerton on Thursday, and an improved Ricky Ashworth took a double-points win in Heat 14.
The ending of that race, though, was marred by a fall for Canadian youngster Kyle Legault after the chequered flag, the Tigers reserve being taken away for treatment to Whitehaven Hospital for a foot injury.
Early suggestions are that he may have broken a bone in his foot and that surgery may be needed to correct the damage.
