Terrible start to the meeting with David Pye, after a great gate, losing it and being hit by Gavin Parr and Dale Pate injured laying it down. Thankfully David was OK, but his bike wasn't, so he had to leave the meeting. Gavin changed a bent wheel, and Dale is off to hospital this morning for a nuts examination.  One airfence panel burst.

The meeting continued with only 2 500 riders, Josh getting the advantage each time over Gavin.

Great maximum from Archie once again, being left at the gate in his third ride, he had to weave his way past all three riders eventually getting past Elliott after a hard chase  on the last lap and Elliott leaving him room to pass around the boards. Fair riding by Elliott, who had suffered some mechanical problems and went out on borrowed bikes. Interesting little battles between Alex and Danny in their last two races.

A good competative meeting between two equal sides, pity about the injuries.

Watched the first match at Redcar between these two teams and have to say Archie Freeman looks so much quicker and smoother than last year. Made an outside pass comfortably on  Elliot Kelly without any fear.

Couldn`t stop to see this meeting but certainly in his pre meeting practice was really attacking the track in a smooth controlled manner--so good to see young British riders making progress.

In the meeting afterwards he outgated everyone and was miles ahead. In his third ride he missed the gate, got blocked out but passed two riders before setting off to pass Elliott around the boards on the last lap. Looks so comfortable and rides sensibly.
