Plymouth Devils...60 Scunthorpe Saints...35

PLYMOUTH Devils are up to second in the National League following Friday night's comfortable win over Scunthorpe Saints at the St Boniface Arena.

The city outfit opened the meeting with two consecutive 5-1 maximums to lead 10-2 after two heats.

From there, they simply dominated, providing in total 12 of the 15 heat winners.

All of the Devils riders contributed with four of them scoring double figures.

Mark Simmonds top scored with a full maximum of 12 points from four rides.

He also recorded the fastest time of the night when he won heat six in a time of 51.44 seconds.

It was a tough night for Scunthorpe, who operated rider replacement in the absence of former Devil Rob Smith.

But credit must go to Byron Bekker who top scored with 16 points from six rides, including two race wins – one when on a tactical ride.
