Sunday, 2 September
Five Premier League matches were scheduled for today, but only four of them made it to the start. The match between Stoke and Berwick was postponed because of the rain. The four others did take place. At Glasgow the Tigers faced King’s Lynn while at Newport the Wasps took on Redcar. The third match was at Mildenhall where the Fen Tigers raced against Workington. Finally at Newcastle the Diamonds had Newcastle as their visitors.
Premier League: Glasgow 51, King’s Lynn 42
Glasgow were without the injured David McAllan so used Rider Replacement at number 2. King’s Lynn were at full strength.
This much anticipated match looked to be against two evenly matched teams but, once Glasgow hit the front in heat 4, they never looked like being pegged back. Lee Dicken’s 9 points coupled with a meagre 4 points from the bottom three Stars’ scorers contributed to the champions’ defeat although Glasgow may yet rue the 2-4 they lost in heat 15 when the bonus point scrap is done and dusted in the return.
Lee Dicken fell heavily on the first bend of heat 1 and had to ‘manipulate’ his knee back into shape for the rerun in which Craig Watson crashed into the first bend fence. Tomas Topinka was deemed to be at fault for this incident and was excluded from the second rerun won by Chris Mills for a 3-3. James Brundle gated to win heat 2 and this race ended a 2-4 to the Stars when Michael Coles slipped from second to last putting the visitors two points ahead. Shane Parker gated to win heat 3 from Nermark and, with Ksiezak third, the Tigers squared the match with the 4-2. They then took the lead with a 5-1 in heat 4 from Leverington and Dicken to take the score to 14-10.
A hard first bend by Shane Parker took him into the lead ahead of Topinka and again Ksiezak picked up third place with a pass on Chris Mills for a 4-2 to put the Tigers 6 ahead. The lead went to 8 with another 4-2 in heat 6. Although Brundle and Harding made the gate for the Stars, Craig Watson had passed them both by the end of the first lap and Michael Coles passed Trevor Harding two laps later to turn the heat round to a 4-2 to the home side. Daniel Nermark and Paul Lee looked as if they would pull four points back for the Stars with a 1-5 in heat 7 but Trent Leverington got through for second on the last bend so they had to be content with a 2-4. Chris Mills then won heat 8 for a share of the points and the score then stood at 27-21.
Heat 9 looked a dangerous one for the visitors and so it proved as Parker and Ksiezak took a 5-1 ahead of Brundle stretching the lead to ten points and it stayed that way when Craig Watson scored a tapes-to-flag win in heat 10 from Nermark and Lee for a 3-3. In heat 11 Tomas Topinka took a Tactical Ride and was involved in an exciting race with the faster gating Trent Leverington. He got past the Glasgow man on the last bend for the full six points and, with Chris Mills third, the Stars took a 2-7 to cut the gap to five points. Shane Parker continued his winning run in heat 12 beating Nermark again for a shared heat and the score now read 40-35.
Another fast gate by Craig Watson produced another race win ahead of Tomas Topinka and Trent Leverington took third for a Glasgow 4-2 to put them seven points ahead with two races to go. Ksiezak gated to win heat 14 while Lee Dicken passed James Brundle for second to record a 5-1 which sealed the match for Glasgow who were now 11 points ahead. They were hoping to make it a 15 point win to give them a better chance of the bonus point but Daniel Nermark ended Parker’s winning run by taking heat 15 while Tomas Topinka finished third ahead of Craig Watson for a 2-4 to the Stars which cut the winning margin to nine points.
Scorers: For Glasgow – Shane Parker 14 (5), Craig Watson 10+1 (5), Lee Dicken 9+3 (6), Robert Ksiezak 9+1 (5), Trent Leverington 8 (4), Michael Coles 1 (5).
For King’s Lynn – Daniel Nermark 12 (5), Tomas Topinka 11 (5)(with 6 point TR), James Brundle 8+1 (6), Chris Mills 7 (4), Paul Lee 2+1 (4), Benji Compton 2 (3), Trevor Harding 0 (3).
Premier League: Newport 55, Redcar 38 Newport won the aggregate bonus point by 97-86
Newport were at full strength but Redcar were without Mathieu Tressarieu and Josh Auty. They had Kyle Hughes as a guest for Auty and used Rider Replacement for Tressarieu at number 5.
Newport won this match comfortably from a weak Redcar side to take all three points although, not for the first time this season, they had to endure a visitor running up a 21 point maximum against them. James Grieves was the man to follow in Tai Woffinden’s footsteps this time by going through the card unbeaten scoring four more points than the rest of the Bears put together.
It was the Bears who hit the front in the opener though with a 2-4 from Gary Havelock and Kyle Hughes after Tom Hedley had retired but the Wasps hit straight back with a 5-1 from the reserves race. James Grieves produced the first of his six race wins in heat 3 for a shared race but the Bears conceded another 5-1 in heat 4 when Barry Burchatt won for the second time and was followed home by Chris Schramm. The score was now 15-9.
The two teams traded 4-2s in the next two races with wins for Tony Atkin from Havelock and then Grieves from Rajkowski and James Grieves was out again in heat 7 for another win and shared race. Barry Burchatt produced his third consecutive win in heat 8 and with Tom Hedley following Daniel Giffard home the Wasps increased their lead to eight points with the score now 28-20.
The Wasps then hit a killer 5-1 in heat 9 from Atkin and Morris ahead of Chris Kerr so now stood 12 points ahead. This allowed James Grieves to take a Tactical Ride in heat 10 which he duly won from Rajkowski and Hedley for a 3-6 cutting the gap to 9 points but another 5-1 for the home side in heat 11 effectively finished the Bears challenge as they now trailed by 13 points. James Grieves scored his fifth win in heat 12 but again there was no support so the race was shared and the score was now 44-31.
Schramm and Rajkowski added another 5-1 in heat 13 ahead of Gary Havelock and Atkin and Simmons did likewise ahead of Chris Kerr in heat 14 but Redcar took some consolation by ending the match with a 1-5 as James Grieves completed his maximum supported by Gary Havelock.
Scorers: For Newport – Barry Burchatt 11+1 (5), Tony Atkin 11 (5), Chris Schramm 9+2 (4), Nick Simmons 8+3 (4), Michal Rajkowski 8+1 (4), Phil Morris 6+2 (4), Tom Hedley 2+1 (4).
For Redcar – James Grieves 21 (6)(with 6 point TR)(full maximum), Gary Havelock 9+1 (5), Daniel Giffard 4 (6), Chris Kerr 2 (5), Kyle Hughes 1 (3), Jack Hargreaves 1 (5).
Premier League: Mildenhall 47, Workington 44 Workington won the aggregate bonus point by 101-82
Mildenhall were missing Tom P Madsen following his crash at Birmingham on Wednesday and the injured Kyle Legault. They used Rider Replacement at number 1 and had Ricky Ashworth as a guest at number 3. They also had Matt Wright replacing Mark Baseby at number 6 to partner Paul Fry who moved to number 7 under the new averages. Shane Henry was nominated as their number 8. With Ulrich Ostergaard returning to the side Workington used Rider Replacement for the missing Mattia Carpanese at number 2.
Both teams desperately needed to win this match; Mildenhall to keep their Young Shield hopes intact and Workington to keep their top four finish hopes alive. The Fen Tigers solid scoring undid their visitors particularly at reserve where they took a 13-3 advantage.
Workington won the opening race with a 2-4 after the home side’s guest, Ricky Ashworth, suffered an engine failure while lying third. Kauko Nieminen won the race from Tomas Suchanek but Mildenhall wiped out the arrears and stormed into a two point lead with a 5-1 in the reserves race. They added another 5-1 in heat 3 through Shaun Tacey and Ricky Ashworth ahead of James Wright and shared heat 4 won by Ulrich Ostergaard from Paul Fry to take the score to 15-9.
Kauko Nieminen finished second to Ricky Ashworth in heat 5 while Shaun Tacey took third for a 4-2 increasing the Fen Tigers’ lead to 8 points Ulrich Ostergaard won again in heat 6 from Paul Fry while Tomas Suchanek and John Branney had a good scrap at the back for the vital third place. Suchanek took it so the heat was shared but the Comets pulled two points back in heat 7 when James Wright won from Jason King while Craig Branney finished third. The 2-4 cut the gap to six points but it was back to eight after heat 8 when Tomas Suchanek chased and passed Craig Branney with Paul Fry third. The score was now 28-20.
Ulrich Ostergaard passed Ricky Ashworth in heat 9 for a shared race while James Wright won heat 10, again for a share of the points. Workington then filled the R/R gap in heat 11 with Ulrich Ostergaard who went as a Tactical Substitute from 15 metres back to try to cut the gap. Kauko Nieminen won the race but, although Ulrich Ostergaard passed Matt Wright, he didn’t have enough time to challenge Jason King so the race finished as a 2-5 to the Comets who now trailed by only five points. Ricky Ashworth won heat 12 from James Wright with Paul Fry third so the gap opened to seven points with the score at 40-33.
The Comets came roaring back with a 1-5 in heat 13 from Nieminen and Ostergaard from King and Suchanek to get within three points of the Fen Tigers but things went pear-shaped for the Comets in heat 14 when Craig Branney looped at the gate and was excluded. Shaun Tacey and Paul Fry scored a 5-1 from John Branney and the home side were home and dry. It was just as well, too, because another 1-5 from Ostergaard and Nieminen cut the gap to just three points. The bonus point went to the Comets.
Scorers: For Mildenhall – Paul Fry 11+1 (6), Ricky Ashworth 10+1 (5), Tomas Suchanek 8+2 (6), Shaun Tacey 8+1 (5), Jason King 8+1 (5), Matt Wright 2+1 (3).
For Workington – Ulrich Ostergaard 16+1 (6)(with 2 point TS), Kauko Nieminen 13+1 (5), James Wright 9 (4), Craig Branney 3 (5), John Branney 3 (5), Charles Wright 0 (5).
Premier League: Newcastle 47, Rye House 43 Rye House won the aggregate bonus point by 108-73
Newcastle were without the injured Christian Henry so had George Stancl guesting at number 1. Rye House were at full strength.
George Stancl took the lead round the opening two bends in heat 1 while Josef Raun passed Chris Neath for the Diamonds to take a 4-2 in heat 1 but Sean Stoddart couldn’t recover from a poor start and lost out to Luke Bowen. Adam Roynon was third so the Rockets levelled the match with a 2-4. Newcastle were back in front with a 4-2 in heat 3. Josef Franc passed Tai Woffinden while Paul Clews passed Tommy Allen who fell after two laps. Back came the Rockets to square the match again with a 2-4 in heat 4. Steve Boxall and Adam Roynon made the start but Stoddart passed Roynon to limit the damage while Carl Wilkinson who had been baulked by Stoddart finished at the back. The score was now 12-12.
Another fine start from the Rockets’ pair of Neath and Ekberg resulted in a 2-4 after Josef Franc had passed Ekberg so the Rockets now led by two points. They increased that lead to four points with another 2-4 in heat 6. Steve Boxall led under pressure from Stancl and Raun but Stancl fell so Luke Bowen finished third. Rye House then went six points in front when Tai Woffinden won heat 7 from Carl Wilkinson who passed Tommy Allen to limit the damage to a 2-4. It was Newcastle’s turn to make the gate in heat 8 but while Josef Raun won the race Sean Stoddart slipped to the back as he was passed by Ekberg and Roynon. The race was shared and the score was 21-27.
The Diamonds got two points back with a 4-2 in heat 9. Josef Franc beat Steve Boxall while Luke Bowen fell at the back as Paul Clews finished third. There were now only four points between the teams but it was all square again when the Diamonds followed up with a 5-1 in heat 10 from George Stancl and Josef Raun in a rerun race after Tai Woffinden had fallen and been excluded. Heat 11 was awarded as a 3-3 when Sam Dore fell at the back after Carl Wilkinson had passed both Chris Neath and Stefan Ekberg but Newcastle finally went in front again with a 5-1 in heat 12 from Josef Franc and Sean Stoddart who both swept past both Woffinden and Roynon taking the score to 38-34.
Chris Neath and Steve Boxall gated to lead heat 13 but the Rockets’ joy was short-lived as Carl Wilkinson and George Stancl both passed Boxall. Neath won the race for a 3-3 then heat 14 was shared too. Adam Roynon won the race but Sean Stoddart and Paul Clews kept Luke Bowen at the back to keep the Diamonds four points ahead going into the last heat. Carl Wilkinson won the race to secure the win for the home side after Josef Franc had fallen trying to pass Chris Neath to join Wilkinson up front.
