It’s hard to keep up with the King’s Lynn team these days as they are afflicted by injuries, recruit replacements then reinstate riders returning form injury and shuffle things about again thanks to the averages. Tonight Ashley Jones was at number 2 and Jan Jaros at number 3. Trevor Harding was at number 7. Rye House were at full strength and were defending a 27 point lead for the bonus point. A shared opening heat, won as usual by Tomas Topinka, was followed by 5-1s to either side. Troy Batchelor and Trevor Harding took the reserves race for King’s Lynn then Daniel King and Brent Werner did likewise for Rye House in heat 3. Chris Neath won heat 4 for a shared heat and the score was 12-12. The teams then exchanged 4-2s in heats 5 and 6. Robson and Kennet did the business for Rye House to put them momentarily in the lead but Topinka and Jones squared the match again in the following heat. Heats 7 and 8 won by Oliver Allen then Edward Kennett kept the match all tied up after 8 heats at 24-24. In heat 9 King’s Lynn took a 5-1 from Kevin Doolan and Jan Jaros to put the Stars four points up going into the interval. Then after the interval Tomas Topinka and Ashley Jones repeated the dose from King and Werner and the Stars found themselves 8 points to the good. Heat 11 was shared but another 5-1 for King’s Lynn from Jan Jaros and Trevor Harding saw the match almost outwith Rye House’s grasp. They gave Stuart Robson a TR in heat 13 but it all went pear-shaped when he fell on the first bend. Although he remounted Chris Neath in third place did not slow to let him through for the extra point although by this time it was irrelevant. The resultant 5-1 took the score to 47-31. Tommy Allen was then given a TR in heat 14 and scored four points from his second place finish when Troy Batchelor was excluded and Steve Boxall suffered an engine failure for an unusual 3-4 score. Tomas Topinka won the last heat for a shared heat. Although it was a comfortable win for the Stars it was also a comfortable bonus point for the Rockets. Match Report by Merlin |
