STOKE Spitfires captain Luke Priest was taken to hospital with possible multiple injuries after an horrific crash on Wednesday.

The accident took place in Heat 6 of Stoke''s Conference League clash with Scunthorpe and resulted in an 80-minute delay whilst Priest was attended to.

Spitfires boss John Adams said: ''The lad was obviously in a lot of pain and we only hope he recovers as quickly as possible.''

WORKINGTON promoter Graham Drury expects his team to be at full-strength for the weekend clash with Newcastle.

The news is a major boost to the Comets boss who saw almost his entire line-up pick up knocks at Newport last Sunday.

Drury said: ''It was a worrying time waiting for news, and I''m so relieved we will have everyone fit to ride. It didn''t look like that on Sunday night.''
