Berwick faced Hull looking to pull back a 12 point deficit from the match at Hull. They had new signing, Scott Smith, at number three and had to use Rider Replacement for Piotr Dym who had to return to Poland for a league match there. Hull had Jamie Robertson at number seven as a guest for the injured Joel Parsons. Hull were pulverised by the early Berwick onslaught. By heat 6 the Bandits had hit them with three 5-1s, one 5-2 (when Garry Stead took a TR and finished third) and a 4-2 with Hull’s only reply a 2-4 in heat 3. By this stage the Bandits led 26-11and already had a three point lead on aggregate for the bonus point. Hull took a 3-6 in heat 7 when Emil Kramer won while on a TR but Berwick added another 4-2 in heat 8 and then a 5-1 in heat 10 to wrap up all three points. Paul Thorp won heat 11 for a shared heat so tried his luck as a Tactical Substitute in heat 12 from 15 metres back. However, although Jaimie Robertson did his bit by winning the heat, Paul Thorp finished last to scupper the Vikings hopes of a bonus point come-back. A Berwick 4-2 in heat 13 kept Adrian Rymel’s paid maximum hopes alive and it looked a formality when he led heat 15 only for him to fall and ruin his chances. Match Report by Merlin |
