SCUNTHORPE star Carl Wilkinson suffered a double break of his left leg during the Scorpions' win over Rye House on Friday.Wilkinson was involved in a collision with Rockets' skipper Chris Neath, who has an arm injury, and with Tero Aarnio still on the sidelines Scunthorpe are now without two of their regular riders.Manager Richard Hollinsgworth said: "We now have to work out what to do with the team. We'll weigh up our options and work out what best to do. For Sunday at Leicester we have Hugh Skidmore in as a guest for Tero and will operate rider replacement for Carl."David Howe was sensational. The track record, a full maximum and some great passing. He gave us everything whilst doing a great job as captain."

SOMERSET'S dream start to the season continued as the Premier League leaders backed up their win at Ipswich with a convincing home victory over the Witches.Reserve Dakota North followed up his paid-21 maximum at Foxhall with another full house at home, this time from five rides, and Christian Hefenbrock was also unbeaten by an opponent in the 59-34 win.Assistant Rebels boss Garry May said: "We said before this match that we needed to be focussed as Ipswich would want to try and exact revenge for our win at their place the previous night, and I think we showed that in the way the boys went about their business."Everyone played their part in what was an excellent team performance and what we need to do now is to build on the momentum that we have started to develop as we go into our next set of matches."

EDINBURGH boss Alan Bridgett had praise for former Monarchs rider Aaron Summers for a terrific display back at Armadale for his new club Redcar.Summers won four of his five rides on his way to a 16-point haul, but despite support from Adam Roynon it was the home side who were much more solid.Edinburgh ran out 56-37 winners in the Premier League clash, with Andrew Tully (13) clocking up his best score of the season so far.Bridgett said: "It was just the start we wanted with the whole side doing well. But full marks to Aaron for his showing, I doubt we will see a better visitor all year."
