Following the impressive Conference League victory over Wimbledon, the second-half featured a six-heat mini-match versus Crewe, with the home lads racing to a whitewash 30-6 success against an inexperienced quartet. Having scooped the Swindon Man of the Match Award in the first meeting, fans’ favourite Irwin concluded a marathon show by netting a full tally of points and in the process took his total of rides for the night to nine! James Purchase also weighed in with a full maximum, while both Carl Downs and Daniel Harding were paid for the lot in confidence-boosting showings.
