Tuesday, 4 September
There were two Premier League matches raced tonight. In addition to the usual match on the Isle of Wight where Sheffield were the visitors, Mildenhall were at home to Newport.
Premier League: Isle of Wight 59, Sheffield 32
The Isle of Wight were again without Andrew Bargh so had Karl Mason at number 6. Sheffield had a revamped team with Paul Cooper moving into the main body of the team at number 4 as a result of the September averages kicking in. This meant that James Birkinshaw moved to reserve and, as the senior reserve, the Tigers were allowed a guest in his absence. Ben Powell filled the number 6 spot as a result while the injured James Cockle was replaced by Conference League guest, Karlis Ezergailis at number 7.
The Isle of Wight did not start with their usual 5-1. Chris Holder seemed to be having machine problems and had to leave it to Cory Gathercole to win the race from Ben Wilson and Ricky Ashworth for a 3-3. Karlis Ezergailis suffered an engine failure in the reserves race which was won by Chris Johnson from Ben Powell giving the home side a two point lead with a 4-2. Jason Bunyan won heat 3 but Paul Cooper and Lee Complin kept Glen Phillips at the back for another shared race then heat 4 produced the first 5-1 of the match as Krzysztof Stojanowski and Chris Johnson outpaced Joel Parsons giving the Isle of Wight a six point lead with the score 15-9.
The Islanders were now fully into their stride and Jason Bunyan and Glen Phillips scored another 5-1 in heat 5 with the latter storming round the Sheffield pair of Wilson and Ashworth to join Bunyan up front. The lead was now ten points and it increased to 14 with a third consecutive 5-1 in heat 6 from Cory Gathercole and Chris Holder. Lee Complin relieved the siege for Sheffield by winning heat 7 from Stojanowski but Chris Johnson, who had replaced Karl Mason, finished third ahead of Paul Cooper so the race was shared as was heat 8, won by Cory Gathercole from Ben Wilson and Karlis Ezergailis, taking the score to 31-17.
Heat 9 looked a poor prospect for Sheffield but Joel Parsons split the home pair of Glen Phillips and Jason Bunyan for a 4-2. There were only two finishers in an awarded heat 10. Paul Cooper shed a chain at the starting gate then Cory Gathercole fell leaving Chris Holder leading Lee Complin when the race was stopped. This gave the Isle of Wight a 3-2 advantage and a 17 point lead. There was still no sign of a Sheffield TR but they didn’t need one to take a heat advantage from heat 11. Ben Wilson won the race from Krzysztof Stojanowski who passed Ricky Ashworth for a 2-4 to the Tigers. Finally Lee Complin took the Sheffield TR in heat 12. However it was Jason Bunyan who won the race from Complin with Chris Johnson third to deny the visitors a heat advantage with the resultant 4-4 which took the interval score to 44-29.
After the break, the Islanders took a 5-1 from Chris Holder and Krzysztof Stojanowski as Ricky Ashworth came home third. They then punched home another maximum in heat 14 through Glen Phillips and Chris Johnson for a 23 point lead. In the last race Sheffield’s post interval collapse was complete as they conceded a third consecutive 5-1 to Chris Holder and Jason Bunyan with Lee Complin third. The Isle of Wight take a 27 point lead to Sheffield in the battle for the bonus point.
Scorers: For the Isle of Wight – Jason Bunyan 12+1 (5), Chris Holder 11+1 (5), Chris Johnson 9+3 (5), Krzysztof Stojanowski 9+1 (4), Cory Gathercole 9 (4), Glen Phillips 8+1 (4), Karl Mason 1 (3).
For Sheffield – Lee Complin 11+1 (5)(with 4 point TR), Ben Wilson 8 (5), Ricky Ashworth 3+1 (4), Joel Parsons 3 (4), Paul Cooper 3 (4), Ben Powell 3 (5), Karlis Ezergailis 1+1 (3).
Premier League: Mildenhall 54, Newport 39 Mildenhall won the aggregate bonus point by 96-87.
Mildenhall had Kyle Legault back at number 3 but were still without Tom P Madsen so had to use Rider Replacement at number 1. They nominated Shane Henry as their number 8. Newport were at full strength.
Shaun Tacey took the R/R ride in heat 1 and promptly won the race and broke the track record in the process with a time of 50.19 (is this the quickest track record in the league?). Tomas Suchanek followed him home so the Fen Tigers started with a 5-1. Mark Baseby fell in the reserves race and Barry Burchatt was excluded as being the cause. In the rerun Paul Fry won from Nick Simmons for a 4-2 so the lead increased to six points. It rocketed to ten points after heat 3 when Shaun Tacey again won the race this time followed home by Kyle Legault for a 5-1. Barry Burchatt was not having as good a match as he had when the first attempt to run this fixture was rain-abandoned after he had recorded three consecutive heat wins. He fell in heat 4 on the first bend and was excluded by the referee. Paul Fry matched Shaun Tacey’s two race wins by leading home Chris Schramm for another 4-2 taking the score to 18-6.
There was another rerun in heat 5. This time Shaun Tacey went from saint to sinner by flying through the tapes and was excluded. He was replaced by Mark Baseby. Kyle Legault won the race from the Newport pair of Hedley and Rajkowski for a 3-3. Then the Wasps hit a purple patch. Trailing by 12 points Newport decided to give Chris Schramm a Tactical Ride in heat 6 which he duly won by beating Tomas Suchanek. Paul Fry got a knock on the first bend and Nick Simmons finished third ahead of him for a Newport 2-7 which cut their arrears to seven points. If that was a jolt to the Fen Tigers they had another one coming in the next race when the Wasps added a 1-5 from Tony Atkin and Phil Morris from Jason King. Suddenly a twelve point lead had been reduced to three in the space of two heats. The home fans breathed more easily when Mildenhall replied with a 5-1 in heat 8 from Tomas Suchanek and Paul Fry to take the score to 29-22.
Newport conceded another 5-1 in heat 9. Shaun Tacey and Kyle Legault saw off Chris Schramm then Kyle Legault took the R/R ride in heat 10. This race produced a third consecutive 5-1 for the Fen Tigers as the Newport resistance crumbled. Tomas Suchanek won from Legault and Morris after Tony Atkin had been excluded for causing his partner to fall on the last bend. Mildenhall’s interval lead was now up to 15 points. Unfortunately for Newport, Morris’ fall in heat 10 resulted in a dislocated shoulder and, although it was sorted, Morris withdrew from the meeting. Michal Rajkowski then won heat 11 for a shared race and Barry Burchatt replaced Phil Morris in heat 12. Kyle Legault won the race but Paul Fry again finished last this time behind Simmons and Burchatt for a 3-3 which took the score to 45-30.
Heat 13 was shared too. Jason King executed an excellent pass on Rajkowski to win the race while Chris Schramm passed Tomas Suchanek for third. Mark Baseby fell in heat 14 which was awarded to Tony Atkin who led from Shaun Tacey and Barry Burchatt. This gave the Wasps a 2-4 but in the final race Mildenhall finished off with a 4-2 as Kyle Legault completed his paid maximum by beating Chris Schramm with Tomas Suchanek third. The Fen Tigers took all three points.
Scorers: For Mildenhall – Kyle Legault 15+3 (6)(paid maximum), Tomas Suchanek 11+1 (6), Shaun Tacey 11 (5), Paul Fry 10+1 (6), Jason King 6+1 (4), Mark Baseby 1 (4).
