Benji Compton is very doubtful for tonight's league match at Plymouth. Benji injured his shoulder whilst riding in the Premier League last night and seems unlikely to recover in time for the big clash. Do you think this is going to have any effect on the outcome? Those of you looking forward to a glimpse of new signing James Cockle in the Henderson Insurance Trophy on Sunday will also be disappointed. James was unable to ride for Sheffield in the Premier League last night and will have to rest his bruised coccyx (a bone at the end of your spine, for those of you like me who are unfamiliar with medical terms!). Boston's Simon Lambert will fill in at Normanby Road instead. Cockle will hopefully be back for the Scorpions' meetings at Rye House and Sittingbourne in a fortnight's time.

I have also heard that Scott Anderson is unavailable but I'm hoping this info is incorrect and they have confused him with Scott Richardson who we know is away on holiday.

Have you any information on our lineup as we only have 6 riders (Richie, Josh, Tai, Byron, Joe and Scott A). Can we use R/R for one of our missing riders or are we having to borrow a rider from another club?

This "Wobbler" failed to show his face so the Scorpions took to the track with just six riders. Nevertheless, those six lads pulled off a fantastic backs to the wall victory. Well done lads, every one of you. Brilliant. And well done to King Kenny. Tactical Genius.

Is this more sour grapes from the Devils? Thought one of them would want to finish on the winning team for once!
