Championship Shield: Glasgow Tigers 54, Berwick Bandits 36

Claus Vissing helped Glasgow Tigers mug his former club Berwick Bandits.

The dashing Dane powered to 13 points in the 54-36 win however Tigers had to roar back from 9-3 down after two heats.

The home side were level at 15-15 three heats later and 5-1 scorelines in Heats Six and Ten put Tigers 33-27 in front and they never looked back.

And they finished off Bandits with 5-1 scorelines in the final two heats.

Former Tigers skipper Aaron Summers misfired on his return to Ashfield scoring only one point and team-mate Jye Ethridge was withdrawn after a fall in Heat Six.

Saturday’s action sees Tigers visit Bandits (tapes-up 7pm) and Edinburgh Monarchs are at Workington Comets (7.30pm). Both matches are in the Championship Shield.
