LIONS SHOW BOUNCEBACKABILITY

The Lions recovered from an indifferent start that saw the team facing a ten points deficit after eight races.

An 8-0 advantage in the next race reduced Scunthorpe's lead to three points but it was not until the final three races that they managed to get ahead.

"We were certainly worried after heat 8 and quite rightly so having only secured one heat advantage up until then. The out turn of the next race had a large bearing on what happened next as Josh Auty and Jerran hart were excluded in separate incidents. Scunthorpe will feel aggrieved that they let it slip when in the driving seat but things happen in sport when the pendulum can swing the opposite way to give a team an unexpected lifeline and you have to take your chances when they do. We have never come back from 10 points down before and won so that is a first and against one of the 'in-form teams so far this season it is a measure of where we currently are as a club. There will be days when we will be on the receiving end of bad luck and it is difficult to legislate against that happening but above that we need to find the key to unlocking the secret of consistency particularly at home where a near perfect record is a must to realise our aspirations of a top six place in the Premier League" commented Alan Jones.
