Today’s sole match was on the Isle of Wight where Berwick were the visitors in a Premier League match.
Premier League: Isle of Wight 53, Berwick 40.
The Isle of Wight introduced Richard Sweetman to the team at number 7 with James Holder moving to number 2 replacing the injured Cory Gathercole. Berwick were without Tony Atkin and Norbert Magosi so used Rider Replacement at number 5 and had Kozza Smith (King’s Lynn) as a guest at number 2.
Four 5-1s between heats 6 and 10 ended any hopes Berwick might have had of taking anything from this match even though, for the second night running, they scored a 1-8 in heat 11 as their guest Kozza Smith, who finished their second top scorer, finished behind Adrian Rymel.
Adrian Rymel in a fine spell of form opened proceedings by winning heat 1 for a 3-3 but Richard Sweetman made the perfect debut by winning the reserves race. Paul Clews passed Andrew Bargh to deny the Islanders a maximum by restricting their heat advantage to a 4-2. The home side were heading for a 5-1 in heat 3 when Glen Phillips suffered an engine failure resulting in Paul Fry’s win leaving the race shared. The Islanders doubled their lead with another 4-2 in heat 4 when Krzysztof Stojanowski beat Paul Clews taking the score to 14-10.
Glen Phillips touched the tapes in heat 5 and had to start from 15 metres back. He couldn’t make up the ground so Paul Fry’s heat win again resulted in a 3-3. James Holder and Jason Bunyan made the gate for a 5-1 in heat 6 as Michal Makovsky suffered an engine failure and the home side added another in heat 7 through Stojanowski and Bargh taking the lead to 12 points. Berwick pulled two points back in heat 8 with a 2-4 from Kozza Smith and Scott Smith split by James Holder so the score went to 29-19.
An easy 5-1 from Fry and Phillips in heat 9 and another in heat 10 from Bunyan and Holder increased the home side’s lead to 18 points so Adrian Rymel took a Tactical Ride in heat 11. He made the gate to win the race while Kozza Smith passed Krzysztof Stojanowski to follow him home for the big 1-8 cutting the lead to 11 points. Glen Phillips won heat 12 for a shared race which took the score to 43-32.
Stojanowski won heat 13 for a 3-3 and it was all over after heat 14 when Fry and Bargh added another 5-1 for a 15 point lead although Berwick managed a 2-4 in heat 15 when Adrian Rymel won again beating Stojanowski while Paul Fry had a few scary moments trying to round Rymel and finished at the back.
Scorers: For the Isle of Wight – Krzysztof Stojanowski 12 (5), Paul Fry 12 (5), James Holder 9+1 (4), Jason Bunyan 6+2 (4), Andrew Bargh 6+2 (4), Glenn Phillips 5+1 (4), Richard Sweetman 3 (4).
