Mildenhall were at full strength while Rye House introduced Ross Brady to the side to replace the injured Stuart Robson.. Rye House, who won on the same track in an early season challenge match looked to be heading for another away win when they led 30-36 after heat 11 but a strong finish from the Fen Tigers consigned them to a two point defeat. The home side opened with a 5-1 from James Brundle and Jason Lyons with newcomer Ross Brady finishing last. Rye House took a 2-4 in heat 2 when Steve Boxall beat Jon Armstrong with Luke Bowen third to pull two points back and they then found themselves in front when they scored a 1-5 in heat 3. Edward Kennett and Tommy Allen did the damage leading home Jason King and Shaun Tacey. Worse was to follow for Mildenhall as they conceded another 1-5 in heat 4 when Steve Boxall and Chris Neath led Danny King home. The heat 4 score was now 9-15. Ross Brady then won heat 5 to share the points but Mildenhall shaved two points off the Rockets’ lead with a 4-2 in heat 6. Jason Lyons beat Chris Neath with James Brundle third for a 4-2. Daniel King won heat 7 for a 3-3 but Rye House moved four points ahead again in heat 8 as Steve Boxall made it three heat wins from three starts with Jon Armstrong second. Jaimie Courtney picked up the point from James Brundle for a 2-4 which took the score after eight races to 21-27. In heat 9 Chris Neath beat Jason King but Shaun Tacey passed Luke Bowen for third place to share the points. Heat 10 also resulted in a shared race when Edward Kennett led Brundle and Lyons home and heat 11 also produced a 3-3 as Steve Boxall made it four wins from 4 starts. In heat 12 Steve Boxall replaced Luke Bowen and Jon Armstrong replaced Barry Burchatt who was taken off on the first bend and had to withdraw from the meeting. Shaun Tacey and Jon Armstrong finally lowered Steve Boxall’s colours taking a 5-1 with Edward Kennett bringing up the rear. This got the Fen Tigers back to within two points of the Rockets as the score progressed to 35-37 after 12 heats. Mildenhall then squared the match with a 4-2 from Jason Lyons and Daniel King split by Chris Neath in heat 13 then Tommy Allen won heat 14 for Rye House. This time Steve Boxall finished last so the heat was shared and the last heat approached with the scores tied at 42-42. When the dust settled after a blistering race in heat 15 Daniel King had taken the three points from Chris Neath with Jason Lyons third for a 4-2 to Mildenhall and a two point match win. For the home fans this was just perfection! Match Report by Merlin |
