CRADLEY endured a tough night in the National League Fours at Stoke.

The Anchor Logistics Heathens managed just eight points as they were eliminated in the group stages.
Jack Smith top scored with four points while Danny Halsey won his opening ride before almost coming to grief as he challenged Stoke’s Joe Lawlor for the lead.
Youngster Tom Spencer will take plenty of experience from the occasion and also bagged an encouraging third place point ahead of Leicester’s Ryan Terry-Daley.
Skipper Max Clegg has a night to forget, suffering two tapes exclusions following frustrating issues with his clutch.
Hosts Stoke came out on top in a tense Grand Final which had seen three teams enter the last race level on points.
Heathens are back in action when they travel to Kent this Monday (July 15, 6.30).
