RYE House Rockets captain Chris Neath has said sorry to team-mate Andrew Silver after Saturday's KO Cup clash against Birmingham.

The Rockets won the second leg tie 53-37 but that could have been so much more had things gone Rye House's way.

Neath said: “I had a terrible evening myself. I've got to apologise to Andrew [Silver] as well, because I made a couple of mistakes in the first corners that ruined his races as well.

“It was just one of those nights where I didn't feel comfortable on the bike, but I'll put it behind me and just look forward to the next meeting.”

After a stop-start season through injury, the Silver Ski skipper feels he is over the worst.

“I'm finally putting my injury behind me,” said Neath.

“It's getting better every week, although it's taken a long time and it's still a bit painful. On the whole, though, I'm finally feeling good again.”
