Tuesday, 21 August
It was Isle of Wight night tonight where the might of Mildenhall provided the opposition in a Premier League Match.
Premier League: Isle of Wight 60, Mildenhall 33 The Isle of Wight won the aggregate bonus point by 103-84.
The Isle of Wight had Tom Brown at number 6 in place of Andrew Bargh while Mildenhall had Jay Herne at number 6 in place of Mark Baseby.
The Islanders lost by 51-43 at Mildenhall nine days ago so had eight points to pull back in the fight for the bonus point. However a 20 point win at Redcar on Thursday night gave them a massive boost in the race for a play-off place making the result and bonus point a must for them tonight. Mildenhall lost another meeting to the weather on Sunday when their match against Newport was called off after heat 8 with the Fen Tigers leading by 12 points.
It took the Isle of Wight just two heats to wipe out their aggregate arrears. In the opening heat, Chris Holder and Cory Gathercole (surely the strongest pairing in the league these days) ran up a 5-1 with Shaun Tacey trailing home third. In the reserves race, Jay Herne fell on the opening bends and was excluded when the race had to be rerun. Chris Johnson and Tom Brown added another maximum at the expense of Tomas Suchanek in the second running of the race but the Fen Tigers hit back with a 2-4 in heat 3. Paul Fry was the race winner from Jason Bunyan with Kyle Legault picking up the third place point. However the home side countered that with a 4-2 in heat 4. Krzysztof Stojanowski was the race winner while Jason King finished second ahead of Chris Johnson to take the score to 16-8.
The Isle of Wight made two decisive strikes in heats 5 and 6, both ending up 5-1s to the home side. Glen Phillips and Jason Bunyan did the damage in heat 5 against Shaun Tacey as Tom P Madsen fell at the back causing the race to be stopped and awarded. Cory Gathercole and Chris Holder added another maximum in heat 6 with Jason King taking third to put the Islanders 16 points in front. Paul Fry was given a Tactical Ride in heat 7 and won it too. Krzysztof Stojanowski finished second ahead of Kyle Legault so the visitors scored a 2-7 from the race cutting the home side’s lead to 11 points. They increased it to 13 in heat 8 when Cory Gathercole continued his unbeaten run by winning the race. Tomas Suchanek came to life with second place from Chris Johnson while Shaun Tacey finished last. This took the score to 32-19.
Another 5-1 in heat 9 from Jason Bunyan and Glen Phillips put the match way beyond the Fen Tigers as the interest fell on three unbeaten riders contesting heat 10. Two of them had their maximum chances ruined. Chris Holder won the race to remain unbeaten but it was Kyle Legault who finished ahead of Cory Gathercole and Paul Fry for a 4-2 to the home side giving them a 19 point lead. It increased to 23 points with another home 5-1 from Krzysztof Stojanowski and Tom Brown who passed Shaun Tacey for second place. There was some respite from the onslaught for the visitors when they shared heat 12. Jason Bunyan won the race while Kyle Legault and Tomas Suchanek kept Chris Johnson at the back taking the score to 49-26.
Jay Herne replaced Tom P Madsen in heat 13 in which what looked like an inevitable 5-1 materialised. Stojanowski finished ahead of Holder while Jason King finished third. This was followed by a 4-2 when Glen Phillips beat Paul Fry. Tom Brown again scored an impressive point by beating Tomas Suchanek then, in the last race, the Fen Tigers took a 2-4 as Paul Fry rounded off an excellent evening by beating Chris Holder while Kyle Legault beat Krzysztof Stojanowski.
