Tigers Howarth and Wright wrap up pair title again

SHEFFIELD’S Kyle Howarth admitted with Charles Wright they “got the job done” in a thrilling finale to the Championship Pairs.

The Tigers duo beat Workington’s Ty Proctor and Nicolai Klindt in the final to retain the title at Somerset on Friday night.

Howarth and Wright won their group with 22 points before beating pre-meeting favourites Lakeside in the semis while the Workington pair went through with 20 points and outgunned Peterborough in their semifinal.

Howarth said:

“It’s a tough day, we knew it was going to be hard. We worked as a team and we were consistent all the way through the night.

“We just chipped away with no last places and putting points on the board. When it came to the big heats we stepped our game up.

“Charles and I sussed out where we were riding all night and where we wanted to be. When it came to the semis and final we got the job done.

“We kept calm and didn’t make drastic changes during the meeting.”

Proctor won the final but Wright and Howarth packed into second and third keeping Klindt at bay to wrap up the title once again.
