Having won in Wales earlier in the season, Stoke were hoping to complete the double tonight over Newport . The Potters this week had Glenn Cunningham as a guest replacement for Jan Staechmann and used R/R at number 1 for Peter Carr. Luke Priest continued at number 7 for Jack Hargreaves. Newport had James Grieves as a guest for Craig Watson and used R/R at number 2. Tony Atkin moved into the team a number 3 while new signing Lee Dicken made his debut at number 6. Newport made a match of it over the opening heats. Mads Korneliussen won the first heat for a 3-3 and Barrie Evans won the reserves race for a similar result. Stoke took the lead with a 5-1 in heat 3 from Mogridge and Clews over Korneliussen but Newport got two points back with a 2-4 from James Grieves and Karlis Ezergailis after Glenn Cunningham had pulled out with engine trouble. The score after heat 4 was 13-11. Mogridge won heats 5 and 6 and was supported by his partners, Clews and Kessler, as Stoke scored two 5-1s to stretch the lead to 23-13. The next two heats were shared so the heat 8 score was 29-19. Alan Mogridge continued on his winning ways in heat 9. With Clews finishing behind James Grieves, Stoke took a 4-2 and followed it with a 5-1 from Cunningham and Kessler in heat 10 to stretch the lead to 16 points at 38-22. In heat 11 Newport finally gave a TR to Mads Korneliussen but he could only finish second to Glenn Cunningham for a 4-4. In heat 12 Tony Atkin was next to try a TR but it would have been better if it had been given to Lee Dicken who won the heat from Paul Clews. However Tony Atkin did finish third so Newport scored a 2-5. Mads Korneliussen won heat 13 but with Grieves at the back the heat was shared. Stoke then scored a 5-1 in heat 14 as Mogridge had his fifth win of the night. He followed it with his sixth win in heat 15, which was shared, for a full 18 point toll. Match Report by Merlin |
