There was a rare Monday night match tonight at Redcar where the Bears took on Newcastle in the second leg of the Tyne Tees Trophy.
Tyne Tees Trophy: Redcar 53, Newcastle 40 Redcar won the Trophy by 98-85.
Redcar had Adam Roynon as a guest at number 2 in place of Mathieu Tressarieu and used their Conference League side, the Cleveland Bays’ Martin Emerson, at number 4 in place of Josh Auty. Newcastle had George Stancl as a guest at number 1 in place of Christian Henry while Robert Ksiezak was due to fill the number 2 spot in place of Jonas Raun. However Ksiezak did not arrive (it was announced that he had returned to Australia!) so the Diamonds had to use Rider Replacement for him instead.
With the first leg at Newcastle ending in a 45-45 draw and with Redcar still in a state of euphoria following their Jack Young Shield win last night, the stage was set for the Bears to bring their season to a close in a blaze of glory by winning silverware on consecutive nights.
The Newcastle resistance lasted one heat. George Stancl gated to head home Gary Havelock and Adam Roynon for a 3-3 in heat 1 but the reserves race provided Redcar with a 5-1 and four point lead with Hargreaves and Giffard leading Paul Clews home. The Bears added a 4-2 from heat 3 as James Grieves passed both Newcastle riders to lead down the back straight on his way to the heat win. Martin Emerson rode a good race to beat Sean Stoddart for third increasing the Bears’ lead to six points. When Chris Kerr and Jack Hargreaves hit the front in heat 4 another 5-1 looked on the cards but Hargreaves got out of shape on the fourth bend and Carl Wilkinson got through for second and a 4-2 which took the score to 16-8.
James Grieves won heat 5 for the Bears but George Stancl and Sean Stoddart (R/R) filled the minor places as Martin Emerson fell at the back. This meant that the race was shared but Redcar pulled another two points in front in heat 6 when Gary Havelock, the early race leader, was nearly reeled in by Carl Wilkinson but held on to win the race. Adam Roynon finished third so the result was a 4-2 for a ten point lead. It got worse for Newcastle when the rampant Bears scored a 5-1 in heat 7. Chris Kerr and Daniel Giffard did the hard work on the opening bends leaving Josef Franc to trail in third. Now 14 points adrift, Newcastle gave Carl Wilkinson, taking the R/R ride, a Tactical Ride in heat 8. He duly delivered the six points by beating off a terrific challenge by Adam Roynon. With Jack Hargreaves third the Diamonds took a 3-6 from the race and the score now stood at 31-20.
James Grieves made it three rides, three wins in heat 9 but Carl Wilkinson was second and Sam Dore third so the race finished as a 3-3. Gary Havelock kept the pressure on Newcastle by passing Josef Franc to win heat 10 while Adam Roynon passed Sean Stoddart for third giving the Bears another 4-2 stretching the home side’s lead to 13 points. Heat 11 produced a great race between George Stancl and Chris Kerr with Stancl getting the verdict on the line. Paul Clews (R/R) took third place for a 2-4 pulling two points back for the Diamonds while heat 12 was won by James Grieves again this time by passing Josef Franc on the fourth bend. Jack Hargreaves fell on the second lap and although he remounted the race finished as a 3-3 taking the score to 43-32.
Redcar clinched the Trophy in heat 13 with a 5-1 from Gary Havelock and Chris Kerr after Kerr had passed both Wilkinson and Stancl on the third and fourth bends. Daniel Giffard won heat 14 for a 3-3 then, in heat 15, Josef Franc spoiled the Redcar party by ending James Grieves’ maximum hopes in winning the race. Although Grieves finished second Carl Wilkinson finished third ahead of Gary Havelock for third giving the Diamonds a consolation 2-4.
