Rye House tracked the same team as for the earlier match against Stoke but Newport were in a bit of a pickle because their permanent guest for Craig Watson, Chris Neath, was riding for the opposition. They used R/R instead at number 1. This was another walk-over although Newport scored a point more than Stoke. It completed a very productive week-end for Rye House as they ‘rocketed’ up the league table with no fewer than 7 league points from their three matches. The opening heat, won by Edward Kennett, was shared but a 5-1 in the reserves race, won by Adam Roynon, soon had Rye House heading for another big score. Chris Schramm followed Steve Boxall home for a 4-2 to the home side then Chris Neath won heat 4 with Wilkinson and Parsons sharing the race bringing the score to 15-9 after four races just as it was in the first match. Again Rye House rattled home 5-1s in heats 5 and 6 but Newport stopped the rot by winning heat 7 2-4. Chris Neath fell trying an outside swoop on race leader Chris Schramm and was excluded from the rerun which was won by Schramm from Roynon with Neil Collins third. Tony Atkin took a TR in heat 8. His partner, Joel Parsons touched the tapes and had to go from 15 metres back. Ben Powell won the race from Atkin although the race was awarded after Parsons fell at the back. The 4-4 took the score to 31-19. Newport’s cause wasn’t helped when Billy Legg was excluded under the two minute rule and went from 15 metres back in heat 9 then Chris Schramm was excluded after falling in heat 10. Not content with that Neil Collins touched the tapes and had to go from 15 metres back. In both heats Rye House clocked up 5-1s but Newport managed a second place in heat 11 when Carl Wilkinson followed Chris Neath home. In heat 12 Chris Schramm took a TR but fell. However Joel Parsons finished second to Steve Boxall for a 4-2 which took the score after twelve heats to 49-25. That was then end for the Wasps as they conceded 5-1s in each of the last three heats with again Edward Kennett and Steve Boxall completing maximums having looked unbeatable all day.
