Edinburgh Falcons got their quest for the revamped Scottish cycle speedway Division Two title off to the best possible start with back-to-back victories.
Firstly, Falcons defeated Fife Revolutions 52 – 48 then followed up by taking a last heat decider victory against Glasgow Cyclones, 51 – 48.
Falcons were led by and inspired by Sam Stansfield whose father, John, the team’s coach, sadly passed away recently.
Sam was the Falcons top scorer in both matches, registering 15 points on each occasion.
