Heat 11 - think Danny King has been taking lessons from Bomber

Well that was emphatic. But should have been a much bigger victory. Heat 8 and Pirates gate clear on a 5-1 but Ben looked to his left to see his team mate and lifted at the same time, ploughing into the fence. As we all know, a rerun 9 times out of ten gives a completely different result and so it proved with Danyon being clamped on the first bend allowing Redcar to reverse the 5-1 into a 1-5.

The next heat was also a gift with Pirates miles clear until Ben Cook looked like he clipped the curb off the 4th bend, lifted, but somehow managed to stay on. However he went from 2nd to 4th. I guess a bit of luck came our way later in the meeting in heat 13 when King was well clear, and Wright and Palm Toft collided, allowing Schlein through.

Heat 11 was race of the night with Anders Rowe gating in front of Wright. Wright was stalking but King was closing and after Danny sold Wright a couple of dummies up the inside of bend one, going into lap 4 King swooped around him to pass Rowe at the same time to blow the roof off the stadium. One of the best races of the season.

Victory should have been by a bigger margin but Pirates finish top to choose our opponents in the semis. Fingers crossed for Ben who had to withdraw.

For Poole: 

Schlein was excellent.

Basso superb until his fall.

Worrall impervious 

Cook battled but too slick for Ben tonight.

King top notch.

Rowe did his job with one good ride

Hume battled all night.

For Redcar:
Wright was poor value.

Sarjeant got lucky in heat 8 but was AWOL. (See what I did there)

Allen battled.

Kerr rode well all night.

Palm Tree wasn’t at the races.

Kinsley didn’t fall off.

Jenkins was excellent value all night and deserved his heat 15. Well done to him.

Don't you just hate auto correct.

There is a big difference between

Worrall impervious 

and

Worrall imperious.

So Poole retain their 100% home league record, scoring 1000 match points overall with an aggregate for/against of +206 points. Not bad at all - onwards and upwards.

Seems to like wide open spaces too.
