The Curtis Sport Brummies suffered another slow start on Monday and were unable to turn things around against the Witches - despite threatening a potential fightback either side of the interval.

They found themselves 9-3 down after the first two races but capitalised on mechanical issues for both Emil Sayfutdinov and then Tom Brennan in Heats Three and Four with successive 4-2s bringing them back to within two points.

But the visitors responded with two 5-1s in the next three races to open up an eight-point lead.
