Newcastle were missing Manuel Hauzinger and used R/R at number 2 instead. The Isle of Wight had Ray Morton back in the side at number 3 with Jason Doyle moving to number 5 under the September averages. Krzysztof Stojanowski was missing from the Islanders’ line up though so they used R/R for him at number 4. This was the Isle of Wight’s first league match since the 22 August and it was an entertaining meeting with the Islanders doing enough to win the bonus point. George Stancl crashed in his third ride hitting the fence on the first bend and had to be taken to hospital. His withdrawal effectively ended Newcastle’s bonus point charge. Josef Franc and Christian Henry both scored paid maximums for the Diamonds while James Grieves dropped only one point – to Chris Holder – in heat 13. It was a successful return for Ray Morton whose 9 points included a race win. The Islanders started well. They shared the opening heat won by George Stancl from Chris Holder and Jason Bunyan. They then took the lead in the reserves race won by Chris Johnson from Jaimie Robertson with Nick Simmons third for a 2-4. However Newcastle roared back with a 5-1 from Christian Henry and Josef Franc to put the Diamonds two ahead then they doubled their lead in heat 4 when James Grieves beat Jason Doyle with Adam McKinna third for a 4-2 which took the score to 14-10.
