In a perfect weekend for the club the Falcons manged to do the double over Thornaby to secure a second KO cup final appearance in three seasons. The side is currently on red hot form having been defeated only once in their last six outings. Manager Stephen Gardner praised his side yet again after a complete performance over both legs. Attention is now being turned to the upcoming meeting with Stockport, one which the Falcons must win in order to keep their promotion aspirations alive.
"We've had a fantastic few weeks, full credit must go to the riders who have turned it around after a fairly slow start to the season. I think this weekends result has been are most encouraging yet, and we've finally managed to get that elusive away victory! The form of Laurie is a little bit of a concern but bar that everyone has been progressing very nicely indeed. Rawling and Roux in particular where fantastic in both these meetings.
This week we have a massive meeting against Stockport where we are looking to take maximum points. This is a huge meeting in our promotion chase so we are really looking for a bumper crowd to help us through!"
