Tonight on the Isle of Wight the visitors were Redcar in a Premier League match.
Premier League: Isle of Wight 53, Redcar 40.
The Isle of Wight were without Paul Fry so used Rider Replacement at number 4 while Redcar were at full strength.
Just as he did last night at Reading, Gary Havelock got the Bears off to a good start by winning the opening race. It was only good enough for a shared heat then the Islanders took the lead in the reserves race. James Holder and David Bargh led from the tapes but Josh Auty rode well to come through from last place to pass David Bargh ands finish second restricting the home side to a 4-2. Glen Phillips had a comfortable win in the third heat but James Grieves and Daniel Giffard finished behind him to share the race points. The Islanders doubled their lead in heat 4 after a great race between James Holder and Ty Proctor during which Holder rode well to keep Proctor behind him for the win. Krzysztof Stojanowski finished third for a 4-2 which took the score 14-10.
Gary Havelock scored his second race win in heat 5 fending off the challenges from Glen Phillips all race long. James Holder finished third so the race was shared. However the home side doubled their lead again in heat 6 with an untroubled 5-1 from Cory Gathercole and Jason Bunyan to lead by eight points. The Bears continued to fall further behind when heat 7 resulted in another 4-2 for the home side. David Bargh made a fast start to lead early on then Krzysztof Stojanowski moved past James Grieves and Bargh to take up the lead while Grieves then passed Bargh on the second lap stretching the gap to 10 points. Redcar lost touch completely when they conceded three more 5-1s on the trot. In heat 8 Josh Auty replaced Joni Keskinen but to no avail as Gathercole and Holder were soon off for the first of the 5-1s taking the score to 31-17.
Stojanowski and Phillips added the second despite the best efforts of Proctor for an eighteen point lead then Bunyan and Grieves took the third by gating to lead James Grieves home. Gary Havelock took a TR in heat 11 for the Bears and won the race for the six points. With Stojanowski suffering an engine failure on the opening lap, David Bargh took second and Joni Keskinen third giving the visitors a 2-7 advantage although it was too late to affect the overall result. Spurred on by that success though, Redcar produced another heat advantage in heat 12 when James Grieves won from Glen Phillips. With James Holder packing up on the first lap Josh Auty was left to pick up third for a 2-4 which took the score to 45-30.
In heat 13 Jason Bunyan was excluded for breaking the tapes. Rather than go from 15 metres back he was replaced by James Holder. The home side might have been better choosing the 15 metre option because Holder had an engine failure on the opening lap. Gary Havelock continued his unbeaten run by winning for the fourth time from Krzysztof Stojanowski who had to look lively to keep Ty Proctor back in third. The result was a 2-4, the Bears’ third successive race win, which cut the gap to 13 points. The Bears’ next move was to replace Arlo Bugeja with Ty Proctor as a Tactical Substitute from 15 metres in heat 14. He got through to second place but fell on the third lap resulting in the race being awarded to James Holder with Daniel Giffard second and David Bargh third giving the home side a 4-2. In heat 15 the Bears completed an excellent last five heats to the meeting by scoring another 2-4. Gary Havelock completed a superb maximum by winning from Cory Gathercole while James Grieves took third place ahead of Glen Phillips.
Scorers: For the Isle of Wight – James Holder 12+2 (7), Cory Gathercole 12+1 (5), Glen Phillips 9+1 (5), Krzysztof Stojanowski 9 (5), Jason Bunyan 6+2 (4), Andrew Bargh 5 (5).
