THE Rockets suffered yet more last heat misery in Lincolnshire on Friday night.

Rye House were cruelly denied a vital away match point in Scunthorpe as the Scorpions claimed the Premier League spoils 49-41.

For the second time this season, the Hoddesdon outfit were also left cursing the impact of a post-race exclusion for the lack of a dirt deflector.

Guest Jason Lyons had a heat victory taken away for an infringement at Berwick, and Tommy Allen suffered the same fate in heat two of Friday's meeting.

A potential 5-1 alongside Andrew Silver was reduced to a shared 3-3.

Rye House: Robert Mear 5+2, Joe Haines 10, Linus Sundstrom 8+2, Chris Neath 8, Luke Bowen 4, Tommy Allen 0, Andrew Silver 6+1.

Scunthorpe: Magnus Karlsson 14, Ritchie Hawkins 3+1, Viktor Bergstrom 6, David Howe 11+2, Carl Wilkinson 6+1, Simon Lambert 4, Jerran Hart 5+2.
