Week 16
EL – 1238 Made their way to the Megano to see the London Derby between home side Estuary Whales and their guests Leyton Rockets. They were highly entertained in a cracking meeting that Estuary won 48-42 (92-88). A solid set of home scoring from the 1-7 proved too much for the visiting Rockets. Leyton did provide the majority of the race winners but the Whales' strength in depth proved telling in the end. In fact the hosts seized the initiative with two maximum advantages in Heat 2 and 3 and never relinquished that lead.
PL – 1766 ventured up to the Viking Arena where they watched a belter of a match up between the home side, Foxhall and near neighbours Kings Lynn. Foxhall nicked the result 46-43 but the Lightening grabbed the Bonus with a good performance on the road. The meeting see-sawed until the Vikings teemed to take a grip to go 9 clear after Heat 10 as the top scoring Ludek Janicek / Bart Williamson duo combined for their second combined 5-1, but King's Lynn hit back well with two of their own late on to push their hosts all the way. Alan Connor and young reserve, Robert Murphy were the pick of the KL team on the night.
UL – 2154 - Parked up at Priory Park where Hull Vikings bagged a long awaited win. The Angels were pushed all the way by the visiting Aberavon Gems but resisted everything to run out narrow 46-44 winners. Hull started slowly and found themselves 8 down half way through but they rallied and put in a grandstand finish to claim the much needed win. Uwe Asche was impressive on debut for the Angels with paid 10 (9+1) from his 5 races but ran a last in his final race as Aberavon took a 2-4 through Boris Kravchuk and Davie Langfield as the Gems took the lead (41-43) but Louis Joosens and Gote Nordvall stepped up and delivered a massive 5-1 over Kravchuk and Peter Doyle to grab the league points in the nominated race. The Gems had to be content with the BP as the claimed the aggregate victory.
AWAYS
Whitby Vampires 44 (84) Richmond Cheetahs 46 (96) - The Cheetahs roared to the top of the Evolution League whilst the defeat sent Whitby to the basement in a meeting of conflicting fortunes. Ryan Roy was inspirational for the Cheetahs with another impressive evening - he top scored with 14 (5 rides) but even his night was overshadowed as young reserve, Sean Power grabbed 12 (5) on his Cheetahs debut on a track he'd never even seen before, Rob Elliott seems to have pulled another one out of his bag with this one. Where does he find them?
Denham Dragons 44 (91) Border Braves 45 (88) - The Dragons' title surge hit a big wall as Border turned in their best performance of the campaign led by Duje Jukic (14) as they twice came from behind to shock their hosts. Jukic was well backed up by his team mates and they were dogged in their work all through the meeting and deserved the win for their efforts.
Maximums
NONE THIS WEEK - as the cupboard lay very bare - Old mother Hubbard looked into that cupboard to get her poor doggy a bone - but as she bent down the dog turned around and gave her a bone of his own
Injuries
Erik Sundkvist (Birmingham Bournevillians) winded after a Heat 6 spill - OK next week
Shane Dwyer (Necrons) winded after a fall - bloody hell there's a gail or three about
thats your lot this week - see you next (maybe if I can be arsed to chat shit)
