Stoke were without Paul Clews who was out injured and used R/R at number 3 instead. Glasgow were at full strength. This was ridiculously easy for Glasgow as they blew Stoke away after sharing the opening three heats. There was nothing at stake in this match as the section qualifiers were already determined but Stoke managed only three race winners all match as the Tigers dominated the meting from heat 4 onwards. Only a 7-2, thanks to a successful TR from Robbie Kessler in heat 14, made the score look closer than it was. The malaise in the Stoke ranks even seemed to spread to Mark Lemon who was twice beaten by Glasgow reserve, Robert Ksiezak. For Ksiezak it was a personal triumph as he rattled up four race wins in his 14 point tally overshadowing Stoke’s reserve, Barrie Evans, who hit 12+2 from his seven rides. Stoke must be concerned at the continuing low scores from Alan Mogridge whose only points came at the expense of Lee Dicken and David McAllan. All of the Glasgow riders, except Lee Dicken, had at least one race win or paid race win. Two 1-5s and a 2-4 in the first eight races resulted in Glasgow storming into a ten point lead following which they were never seriously threatened. Match Report by Merlin |
