Glasgow , fresh from last night’s win at Stoke, were at full strength as were Somerset still rueing their one point defeat at Workington last night. Somerset got off to good start when Magnus Zetterstrom won the opening heat from George Stancl for a 3-3. They followed that by taking the lead in heat 2 with a 1-5 in the reserves race from Lee Smart and Jason King then a 2-4 in heat 3 from Paul Fry and Ritchie Hawkins. A Parker/Cockle 4-2 in heat 4 stopped the rot but the Tigers trailed 10-14 after the opening four heats. Glasgow then got into their stride. A 5-1 from Kristensen and Ekberg after Magnus Zetterstrom had suffered an engine failure in heat 5 levelled the scores then Stancl and Leverington took a 4-2 in heat 6 to put Glasgow ahead for the first time at 19-17. Heats 7 and 8 were shared and the heat 8 score read 25-23. Glasgow stormed ahead with consecutive 5-1s in heats 9 and 10 from, firstly, the Ekberg/Kristensen partnership, then Stancl and Leverington so Somerset gave Magnus Zetterstrom a TR in heat 11. Shane Parker beat him although Jaimie Smith picked up the third place point to give Somerset a 3-5 advantage to claw two points back but another Glasgow 5-1 in heat 12 from Ekberg and Cockle increased Glasgow’s lead to 12 points at 43-31. Magnus Zetterstrom beat Shane Parker and George Stancl in heat 13 then Paul Fry took a TR in heat 14 which he duly won for a 3-6 which secured the bonus point for the Rebels. Parker and Stancl finished with a 5-1 in heat 15 to round off the match. Match Report by Merlin |
