Rye House were at full strength for this match while Newport preferred Sam Hurst at number 7 to Billy Legg. Newport had a one point lead from their home match. This match was overshadowed by a suspected broken bone injury to Neil Collins following a clash with Tommy Allen in heat 5. Collins withdrew from the match and went to hospital. Ross Brady won heat 1 but Chris Schramm and Neil Collins shared the points. In the reserves race the Rockets took a four point lead with a 5-1 and they added a 4-2 in heat 3 won by Tommy Allen from Carl Wilkinson and Edward Kennett. Craig Watson won heat 4 for the Wasps but the race was shared taking the score to 15-9. Neil Collins withdrew from the meeting following a clash with Tommy Allen in heat 5. Kennett and Allen took a 5-1 from the race and Rye House were now 10 points ahead. Craig Watson took a TR in heat 6 and won the race from Jaimie Courtney. Joel Parsons headed Ross Brady home so the Wasps took a 2-7 cutting the Rockets’ lead to 5 points. It stayed that way when Chris Neath won heat 7 for a shared heat but the Rockets scored another 5-1 in heat 8 through Steve Boxall and Jaimie Courtney to take the score to 30-21. Another home 5-1 in heat 9 put them out of sight. Tommy Allen and Edward Kennett did the damage as Craig Watson retired from the race. Newport then gave Carl Wilkinson a TR in heat 10 and the Wasp scored the full six points beating Jaimie Courtney who must have been getting fed up with this. At the back Tony Atkin beat Ross Brady so Newport scored another 2-7 to cut their deficit to 8 points. Chris Schramm then won heat 11, beating Chris Neath in the process, for a shared heat. In heat 12 Joel Parsons split the Kennett/Boxall pairing with TR hero, Carl Wilkinson, at the back. This 4-2 for Rye House took the heat 12 score to 44-34. The Rockets only dropped one more point. A Brady/Neath 5-1 ahead of Craig Watson was followed by a 4-2 from Luke Bowen and Tommy Allen with Tony Atkin in second place. In the last heat Neath and Kennett consigned Craig Watson to another third place at the wrong end of a 5-1 to wrap up the match. Match Report by Merlin |
