Injury hit Rye House had to use R/R for broken-wrist victim, Stuart Robson. However they were relieved when Edward Kennett and Tommy Allen were able to take their places in the side following the injuries they sustained at King’s Lynn last Wednesday. They also announced the signing of Ross Brady who will take his place in their line up next week. The Isle of Wight lined up for their fourth away match on the trot with a full strength team still looking for their first point of the season. The rain finally took its toll on this match and it was abandoned after heat 12 once a result had been reached, The Isle of Wight must have wished it had been abandoned after heat 8 when they trailed 32-16 because they lost the remaining four heats by the 5-1 margin. The opening heat was shared as Chris Neath won from Chris Holder and Jason Doyle but Rye house scored the first of their seven 5-1s in heat 2 from Luke Bowen and Steve Boxall. In heat 3 Edward Kennett took the first of his five race wins beating Krister Marsh and Krzysztof Stojanowski with Tommy Allen bringing up the rear. Heat 4 was the Rockets’ second 5-1 this time from Chris Neath and Steve Boxall which took the score after the opening four heats to16-8. Edward Kennett won heat 5 but Chris Holder was second ahead of Tommy Allen for a 4-2 but another 5-1 came Rye House’s way in heat 6. This time it was Steve Boxall and Jaimie Courtney’s turn to expose the dreadfully weak Robert Kasprazak plus reserve pairing for the Islanders. In heat 7 Chris Neath continued on his winning way but Krister Marsh took second place from Luke Bowen so the race resulted in a 4-2 to the home side stretching their lead to 16 points. In heat 8 Jason Doyle became the Islanders one and only race winner all match when he beat Steve Boxall and Jaimie Courtney. It’s a pity they hadn’t given Doyle a TR since they needed the points so badly. Still the heat was shared and the heat 8 score was now 32-16. That really was that. Edward Kennett appeared in three of the next four heats and Neath the other as the visitors disintegrated. They tried a TR for Krister Marsh in heat 10 but Kennett and Jaimie Courtney relegated him to third place so there was no double point score. Then in heat 11 Chris Holder took a TR but he fared no better finishing third behind Neath and Luke Bowen after falling while in second place. All four heats went by maximums to the home side who finished up 32 points in front. Match Report by Merlin |
