Today’s matches were at Glasgow where the Tigers raced against Workington and at Newcastle where the Diamonds took on Stoke in Premier League matches.
Premier League: Glasgow 41, Workington 49
Glasgow were missing Shane Parker and Josh Grajczonek through injury while Anders Andersen was absent through riding in the European Championships. They had Adrian Rymel as guest at number 1 and Adam McKinna as a guest at number 7. They also used Rider Replacement for Andersen at number 3. Workington were missing the injured Joe Haines so used Rider Replacement at number 4.
Already using a six man team with R/R, the last thing Glasgow could cope with in their efforts to beat the high-flying Comets were two non-scoring reserves. As it was they did well with their limited resources and only trailed by two points after heat 10. However Workington’s Daniel Nermark had three rides to come in heats 11, 13 and 15 and he won them all with the Comets scoring 4-2s in each of those races to win by eight points.
Adrian Rymel and Trent Leverington led off the second bend with Daniel Nermark third in the opening heat but Nermark wasn’t doing third places in this match and was soon past Leverington but couldn’t catch Rymel so Glasgow led for the one and only time in the match with the 4-2. An easy reserves race 1-5 for John Branney and Charles Wright reversed the two point lead and 2-4s in the next two heats to the visitors had the Comets in complete control. In the second of those Carl Stonehewer made a superb pass on the fast starting Robert Ksiezak on the first two bends of lap 4 for a 9-15 lead.
Passing was restricted on a fast drying track and although Adrian Rymel’s fast starts were causing the visitors problems there was no change to the their lead after the sides traded 4-2s in heats 6 and 7. A shared heat 8 took the score to 21-27 but Glasgow’s hopes were resurrected by two 4-2 advantages in heats 9 and 10. Ksiezak beat Stonehewer in the first while Rymel did likewise to Nieminen in the second all from the gate as the Tigers now trailed by just 29-31.
Then came the Nermark show. The pick of his three race wins in heats 11,13 and 15 was his win in heat 13 which was quite superb after Ksiezak had made an electric start and ridden to the front on the opening two bends round the boards. Nermark reeled him in and passed him down the back straight on the third lap. Six points down with two heats left, the Tigers’ hopes were briefly raised again in heat 14 when Lee Dicken and Mitchell Davey led from the gate and looked set for a 5-1. However John Branney passed Davey entering the first bend of the second lap and Davey got badly out of shape allowing Charles Wright through as well and the home side’s hopes died. The meeting ended with another excellent race between Adrian Rymel and Daniel Nermark but good though Rymel was he was no match for Nermark who was quite outstanding.
Scorers: For Glasgow – Adrian Rymel 13 (6), Robert Ksiezak 11 (6), Trent Leverington 8 (5), Lee Dicken 7+1 (5), Adam McKinna 1+1 (4), Mitchell Davey 1 (4).
For Workington – Daniel Nermark 14 (5), Kauko Nieminen 12 (5), John Branney 9+1 (7), Carl Stonehewer 8 (4), Charles Wright 3+2 (4), Tomi Reima 3 (5).
Premier League: Newcastle 48, Stoke 42.
Newcastle were without Josef Franc and Richard Juul and had Arlo Bugeja as a guest at number 7. They also used Rider Replacement at number 1 for Franc. Stoke were missing Lee Complin and Ben Barker and had Matthew Wethers as a guest at number 1 and Ryan Fisher as a guest at number 3.
It took a heat 14 5-1 to Newcastle and a superb 6 ride 18 point maximum from Jason King to see the Diamonds home in this match. Fortunes swung one way then the other over the opening four heats which saw Newcastle take 4-2s in heats 1 and 3 but lose a 1-5 in the reserves race to Stoke’s two Danes, Klaus Jakobsen and Jesper Kristiansen, after Jerran Hart had fallen and been excluded. The scores were tied at 12-12 at that stage.
Newcastle then pulled six points clear with a 5-1 from Jason King and George Stancl then a 4-2 from Jason King and Sean Stoddart in heats 5 and 6 but, after a Ryan Fisher win over Christian Henry in heat 7 for a shared race, the Potters pulled the arrears back to just 4 points with a 2-4 from Mark Burrows and Jesper Kristiansen in heat 8 which took the score to 26-22.
Another 5-1 from Stancl and King ahead of Emiliano Sanchez in heat 9 put the home side eight points ahead which looked decisive but the Potters hit back with a 2-4 from Matthew Wethers and Mark Burrows in heat 11 then a 1-5 in heat 13 from Wethers and Sanchez to cut the Diamonds lead to just two points.
The 5-1 from Jason King and Jerran Hart in heat 14 saw the Diamonds home and dry before King completed his maximum in heat 15 holding off the challenges of Ryan Fisher all race long to preserve the home side’s six point lead.
Scorers: For Newcastle – Jason King 18 (6) (maximum), George Stancl 11 (6), Christian Henry 10 (5), Jerran Hart 5 (5), Sean Stoddart 3 (5), Arlo Bugeja 1 (3).
