PIRATES reserve Paul Starke missed out on progress beyond the British semi-final despite a creditable effort at Sheffield.

The 24-year-old mustered seven points at Owlerton but it was not enough.

Chris Harris, Ben Barker, Andre Compton, Edward Kennett, Lewis Blackbird, Josh Auty and Richard Lawson all qualified while Jason Garrity booked a reserve spot.

Poole could still have interest in the British final as Kyle Newman is due to ride at the second semi at King's Lynn.
