King’s Lynn had Daniel Nermark back in the side after missing last night’s match on the Isle of Wight so were at full strength for this match. Redcar had Matthieu Tresarrieu at number 2 replacing Richard Juul. Oh dear! What can be said about this match? The statistics show that King’s Lynn rattled up eleven 5-1 heat wins and two 4-2s while the other two races were shared, one with the aid of a TR. Only Gary Havelock, who beat Tomas Topinka and Chris Mills in heat 12, Chris Kerr, who beat Trevor Harding in heat 6 and Troy Batchelor while on a TR in heat 9 and Matthieu Tresarrieu who beat John Oliver in heat 8 scored any ‘genuine’ points. All the other points Redcar scored were the one point crumbs at the end of 5-1s. It has to be said though that the Bears were handicapped by the withdrawal of Kevin Little. with a shoulder injury after a crash in heat 3 which also involved Tomas Suchanek and Troy Batchelor. The opening four heats all provided 5-1s to King’s Lynn with the Bears losing Kevin Little after a crash on the first bend of heat 3. In heat 4 John Oliver did well to hold off the attentions of Chris Kerr to finish behind Tomas Topinka to keep the home run of maximums going giving the perfect 20-4 score after the opening four races. In heat 5 Gary Havelock took a TR but it made no difference as he finished third to Kevin Doolan and Troy Batchelor for another 5-1. In heat 6 Chris Kerr finally took a second place to stop the run of 5-1s when he finished behind Daniel Nermark but ahead of Trevor Harding. With Kevin Little out the Bears’ middle pairing was particularly vulnerable and they conceded another 5-1 in heat 7 to Tomas Topinka and Chris Mills. In heat 8 Matthieu Tresarrieu managed a second place behind Trevor Harding by passing John Oliver on the last bend to spoil Oliver’s maximum. The 4-2 brought the score after eight races to 38-10. In heat 9 Chris Kerr took a TR and split the Kevin Doolan/Troy Batchelor pairing for a 4-4 but it was back to the 5-1s in heat 10 from Nermark and Harding after Suchanek had led briefly on the opening lap. In heat 11 Redcar had their only race winner of the night when Gary Havelock beat Tomas Topinka to share the heat 3-3. Tomas Suchanek looked as if he would take a second place in heat 12 but he fell on the last bend so the Stars scored another 5-1. This took the score after twelve races to 55-19. King’s Lynn finished with three more 5-1s in the last three heats to complete a miserable night for the Premier League’s new team with Daniel Nermark and Kevin Doolan completing paid maximums.
