PIRATES pair Brady Kurtz and Chris Holder both played a starring role in Australia's 57-33 Test match victory over Great Britain last night.

The Aussies raced to six 5-1 maximums led by double-figure returns from Holder (11+2), Kurtz (11+1) and Max Fricke (11+1).

Tai Woffinden broke the Glasgow track record after recording the fastest time in Ashfield history with 55.99 in the opening heat.

Woffinden scored 12 points from six rides for Great Britain and Craig Cook added nine.

GB boss Alun Rossiter said: “Of course, there is a lot of work to be done but we just had a bit of a master-class in gating. That is all it was.

"We were totally outclassed from the starts, no matter if it was one and three, or two and four. Fair play to the Aussies.

"Craig came from the back in the last race and Tai did it a couple of times, but we were chasing from the start all the time.”

Fricke said: “All the boys worked together. We have a good team atmosphere as always, Team Australia is always good fun.

“We had some good starts between us all and it was nice to see us get a win.”
