Mildenhall had to field a patched up side for this match. They were without both the Kings – Daniel and Jason – and had new signing Brent Werner at number 4. They used R/R for Daniel King at number 3 and had Newport reserve, Joel Parsons, as a guest at number 4. Newcastle by contrast were at full strength. This match looked like it would go down to the wire with only one point between the teams after 8 heats but Newcastle, who actually led 12-17 after heat 5, drifted out of it in the second half and only a 2-7 thanks to a winning TR from Josef Franc in heat 13 (of all heats) put a better gloss on the final score. Once again Jon Armstrong demonstrated how ridiculous the reserve rules are by taking seven races losing only twice, once to James Grieves and once to Christian Henry. The 5-1 James Grieves conceded to Joel Parsons and Jon Armstrong in heat 14 could yet prove expensive when the teams meet tomorrow at Newcastle with the bonus point at stake. Match Report by Merlin |
