Vaculik completely messed up the first corner. He was rightfully excluded from the re-run. So will we be going back to Terenzano in 2013? The track was appalling on Saturday evening. The worst GP round for a few years. The Grand Prix has been exciting and wide open this year, but Saturday's meeting was a big let down. Surely the track should be better than that? All the best Rob

Oliver Greenwood very impressive on his first ever appearance at Smallbrook. Mark Baseby was class for the Islanders - especially his third to first dash in Heat 15. All the best Rob

Jerran Hart and Steve Worrall are the top two averaged riders within the Scunny Saints declared line-up. All the best Rob Precisely. All well within the rules of the National League. All the best Rob

What a bunch of sour grapes - the Saints' line-up is completely within National League rules. Yesterday, the Saints travelled without their top two, had four first year league rookies, and still picked up an away win. All the best Rob

Brilliant comeback by the Saints in the final three races, taking three 5-1s to record a 46-43 victory. All the best Rob

That was a tremendous race. All the best Rob

Great - will leave in around half an hour All the best Rob

Any weather updates on this? All the best Rob

What a brilliant fightback by the Saints to take a point. All the best Rob

£5 for all adults, and free for children 16 and under. All the best Rob

I wonder if Stevebrum still thinks MJJ is over-rated and failing All the best Rob

Well said!!! All the best Rob

Blimey, and I thought I was a bit of a miserable git at times Cracking meeting tonight, shame about all the joker shennanings - but hopefully it means the joker will be ejected through the trap door. All the best Rob

Spitting at the camera was disgusting. He shoudl get a heavy fine for that. All the best Rob

Well done Denmark. Woo-hoo!!! MJJ beating Holder was just brilliant All the best Rob

Where's Thomas Jorgensen? All the best Rob

Can I have some of what you're on please? All the best Rob

You can't help but like the young Danes. All the best Rob

Exactly, it's a World Championship event, so there should be no second chances. You cause a race to be stopped, you should be excluded from it. There was only rider who could be deemed as the cause of the stoppage (Fisher), he should have gone. All the best Rob

So causing all three other riders to fall is not an excluable offence? Who was to blame, if not Fisher? Fisher was the cause of the stoppage. All the best Rob

Dirty move by Fisher - chuck him out!! All the best Rob

Maybe they could borrow a silencer or two from Eddie Kennett. All the best Rob

Hi Manchesterpaul, Please could you let me know where the Scunny website shows 33-56 and I'll get it put right. As far as I can see: Match report shows 35-56: http://www.scunthorp...spx?Team=Saints Fixture list shows 35-56: http://www.scunthorp...spx?Team=Saints All the best Rob

SCUNTHORPE SAINTS 35 MILDENHALL FEN TIGERS 56 (NATIONAL LEAGUE) IT PROVED to be a highly eventful evening at the Eddie Wright Raceway last night (Friday), with the Jotun Paints Scunthorpe Saints losing to a very powerful Mildenhall Fen Tigers outfit. The Saints were reduced to five riders, after Danny Phillips (badly bruised leg) and Tommy Fenwick (dislocated shoulder) both crashed out of the meeting, while Mildenhall’s Nathan Stoneman suffered a broken femur (leg). The Fen Tigers showed that they meant business from the off, and flew into a 10-2 lead after two races. Heat 2 was re-run after second-placed Danny Phillips fell at the first time of asking, and he took no further part in proceedings. Gary Irving and Tom Young won their opening outings in Heats 3 & 4 respectively, but a further blow for the Saints came in Heat 6, when both Steve Worrall and Tommy Fenwick (pictured right) came down on the first turn. Fenwick was also withdrawn from the meeting, while the Sain ts were left facing tracking only one rider in several races. The re-run of Heat 6 saw a high crash for Nathan Stoneman and Max Clegg (who was a replacement for Fenwick), for which Stoneman was excluded. Clegg was soon up, but Stoneman was obviously hurt. The resulting broken femur is almost certain to rule Stoneman out of the rest of the 2012 season. With former Saint (and new Scorpions’ signing) Stefan Nielsen in inspired form and only denied a maximum by a fall while leading Heat 4, it was not long before the Fen Tigers were home-and-dry. Nielsen thwarted Irving’s tactical ride in Heat 9. Saints’ Oliver Greenwood, on his return from injury, took a fine second place in Heat 14, after winning a battle with Josh Bates. Post-match quotes: Stuart Parnaby (Saints’ team manager) - “We needed everything to go right to stand any chance at all against Mildenhall, but that didn’t happen tonight. We were reduced to five riders very early on, and that’s far from ideal. “Danny’s taken a bad bang to his leg. He’s unlikely to fit for the match at Stoke (on Saturday), although we’ll see in the morning how he is feeling. “Tommy is definitely ruled out for Stoke. Tommy’s a hard lad; he’s taken all sorts of knocks doing Motocross. With a dislocated shoulder, it depends on the muscle damage regarding how quickly a rider can recover. “Oliver (Greenwood) needs track time, now he’s back from injury. He looked a different rider in his fourth outing tonight, winning a real battle for second place against Josh Bates. “Mildenhall looked very, very impressive tonight – if they ride like that for the rest of the season, they will be league champions. “But it was a real pity to see young Nathan Stoneman suffer a broken femur. I went out to see how he was, and had to turn back around. He’s going to be out for the rest of the season, and that’s such a shame for a young lad.” Full scorers: Jotun Paints Scunthorpe Saints 35 – Steve Worrall 5 (4), Tommy Fenwick 0 (1), Gary Irving 14 (5) (incl. 4-point tactical ride), Oliver Greenwood 2 (4), Tom Young 9+1 (5), Danny Phillips 0 (1), Max Clegg 5 (7). Mildenhall Fen Tigers 56 – Jason Garrity (guest) 11+1 (5), Joe Jacobs R/R, Lewis Blackbird 9 (5), Daniel Halsey 9+3 (5), Stefan Nielsen 14+1 (6), Nathan Stoneman 3 (2), Josh Bates 10+3 (7). 1: Nielsen, Garrity, Worrall, Fenwick, 59.38 (1-5) (1-5). 2: (Re-run twice) Stoneman, Bates, Clegg, Phillips (fell, excluded), 62.07 (1-5) (2-10). 3: Irving, Blackbird, Halsey, Greenwood (fell, remounted), 60.22 (3-3) (5-13). 4: Young, Bates, Clegg, Nielsen (fell), 61.44 (4-2) (9-15). 5: Garrity, Irving, Blackbird, Greenwood, 58.37 (2-4) (11-19). 6: (Re-run) Nielsen, Clegg, Stoneman (fell, excluded), Worrall (fell, excluded), Fenwick (fell, unable to contest re-run), no time – awarded (2-3) (13-22). 7: Young, Blackbird, Halsey (three riders only), 59.75 (3-3) (16-25). 8: Halsey, Bates, Clegg (three riders only), 60.40 (1-5) (17-30). 9: (Re-run) Nielsen, IRVING (TR), Bates, Greenwood, 58.75 (4-4) (21-34). 10: Worrall, Blackbird, Halsey, Clegg, 58.87 (3-3) (24-37). 11: Garrity, Young, Bates (three riders only), 58.13 (2-4) (26-41). 12: Irving, Blackbird, Bates, Clegg (3-3) (29-44). 13: (Re-run) Garrity, Nielsen, Worrall, Young (fell, excluded), 59.03 (1-5) (30-49). 14: Halsey, Greenwood, Bates, Clegg, 60.40 (2-4) (32-53). 15: Nielsen, Irving, Young, Garrity (ret), 58.37 (3-3) (35-56).

Sadly it would seem Nathan Stoneman suffered a broken femur tonight and is ruled out for the rest of the season. All the best Rob
