(SPEEDWAY 1)EDINBURGH promoter Alex Harkess admitted Friday’s home defeat against Glasgow had proved to be a nightmare evening.The league leaders dominated on a heavy track, and romped to a 54-39 away win although they did lose Christian Henry with a shoulder injury. Nick Morris top-scored with 16 (paid 17) at reserve whilst Andrew Tully was the Monarchs’ top man on 14.Harkess said: “It was a night when everything we didn’t want to happen, did happen.”(SPEEDWAY 2)REDCAR’S Matej Kus has been handed a 28-day ban from British Speedway as he is withholding his services.The Czech Republic international missed the Bears’ home win over Glasgow on Thursday and was replaced by Kozza Smith as a guest.Promoter Brian Havelock said: “We are obviously disappointed that Matej has taken this decision especially as he has more than proved his ability in his debut season on Teesside. “We are entitled to a guest facility and David Howe of the Scunthorpe Scorpions is lined up to ride for us in a re-arranged Premier League fixture at Newport next Wednesday. Hopefully this matter can be resolved.”(FIXTURES)
