| |  | BRAVE Birmingham gave a good account of themselves in their 51-41 defeat at Workington on Saturday.
Skipper Jason Lyons was once again in fine form with 16-points and Rusty Harrison, a former Workington rider, proved to be a good choice of guest to replace the injured Lee Smart with 10+1.
The BRC Roofing Brummies were behind from the first race when they were on the wrong end of a 5-1 from Comets guest James Wright "“ in for Daniel Nermark who was away on international duty "“ and Tomi Reima.
Lyons and Harrison rode well to get the Perry Barr side back within four-points of the hosts with a maximum in Heat 7 and the score remained close for the next few races.
But Workington maximums in Heats 11 and 13 ended any hopes Graham Drury's side had of springing a shock.
Birmingham are unchanged for today's trip to Glasgow (4pm) and their next home meeting is on Wednesday against Edinburgh.
WORKINGTON 51: Kauko Nieminen 13, James Wright 11, Carl Stonehewer 9+3, Tomi Reima 7+2, Charles Wright 5+1, Joe Haines 4+1, John Branney 2.
BIRMINGHAM 41: Jason Lyons 16, Rusty Harrison 10+1, Craig Watson 5+1, James Birkinshaw 4, Andrew Tully 3+2, Lee Smethills 3, Adam Roynon R/R.
