My first ever post on this forum, but I had to add my best wishes for a speedy recovery to both Darren and Lewis. I stayed right until the ambulance had left the track, as did quite a few other concerned spectators. It was an awful end to such a good meeting. Hearing Darren's cries of pain from across a silent track (as soon as the music cut out) was haunting. It was then I knew his injury must have been a lot more serious than the fall suggested it would be
Anyway, I hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes here, but I noticed a few people have asked for score details from last night. Here's the best I can do! :
Heat 1: Worrell, Mallett, Rayson, Felton 62.8 3-3 3-3
Heat 2: Knight, Stokes, McPhail, Blacklock 63.4 5-1 8-4
Heat 3: Allott, Campos, Priest, Kerr(F) 63.6 2-4 10-8 (How Lewis got himself and his bike off the track in time with a broken ankle I'll never know!)
Heat 4: Cockle, Branford, Knight, Blacklock 63.8 4-2 14-10 (I think this is the race where Cockle pipped Branford on the line having been second throughout)
Heat 5: Worrell, Knight, Campos, Felton 63.5 3-3 17-13 (Knight replaced Kerr, Lewis having withdrawn from the meeting)
Heat 6: Branford, Mallett, McPhail, Rayson(FX) 64.0 2-4 19-17 (Rayson fell, causing McPhail to put down to avoid him. Rayson excluded)
Heat 7: Allott, Cockle, Priest, Stokes 64.0 2-4 21-21
Heat 8: Knight, Rayson, Felton, Blacklock 63.5 5-1 26-22

Heat 11: Cockle, Felton, Knight, Worrell(FX) 65.5 4-2 38-28 (Stokes breaks tapes, replaced by Knight. Worrell excluded for causing all 4 riders to go down between bends 1 and 2. Stars on 5-1 until Knight makes a mistake going into final lap)
Heat 12: Knight, Priest, Campos, McPhail 64.7 4-2 42-30
Heat 13: Cockle, Mallett, Worrell, Branford 64.5 5-1 47-31 (Worrell takes tactical ride)

Apologies if any of the above is incorrect, but have taken it direct from my programme. Comments are from memory. First time I've attempted anything like this
