SHEFFIELD boss Eric Boocock is taking the positives from the Tigers' narrow defeat at Rye House in their opening Premier League match of the season.Home star Chris Neath completed a maximum in the final race to secure a 46-44 win, but Sheffield still took a point from the meeting for losing by less than seven.Boocock said: "It's such a tough place to visit so for us to come away with a point is something at least and I guess you would have taken that if you were offered it before the meeting."It would have been a massive result if we could have just got the win in that last race but it wasn't to be. We still have to look at this as a positive."
