\nSHEFFIELD added three more league points to their tally after getting the better of defending ROWE Motor Oil Premiership champions Belle Vue on May Day Bank Holiday.<\/p>\n

After being narrowly edged out 46-44 in Manchester in the afternoon, the Tru7 Group Tigers turned on the style on home shale once more to secure a 57-33 victory for the third meeting on the trot at Owlerton to collect the aggregate point 101-79.<\/p>\n

In the away fixture, Sheffield raced into an early eight point lead after just four races and still led by a couple of points with just two races to go.<\/p>\n

But the hosts managed two 4-2s at the end and edged a last heat decider to snatch the two match points and take a narrow advantage to Owlerton.<\/p>\n

The Tigers came out fighting in front of their home faithful though and opened with back-to-back maximums.<\/p>\n

They managed another in Heat Five courtesy of Josh Pickering and Justin Sedgmen, but the visitors replied instantly with a 5-1 of their own.<\/p>\n

However, Sheffield made the most of gates two and four in the next two races to add two more to their own tally and open up a 16 point lead – a margin that they extended to 22 points by the conclusion of Heat Ten.<\/p>\n

Belle Vue offered some resistance over the next four races before a breathtaking Heat 15 saw both Jack Holder and then Pickering storm their way past Aces\u2019 skipper Brady Kurtz to round the night off in perfect fashion.<\/p>\n

The Tru7 Group Tigers are back in action next Thursday (May 15, 7.30pm) when they host league leaders Ipswich at Owlerton.<\/p>\n
