On a wet and dismal June night at the
Wessex stadium the Wildcats, with new
number one Lee Herne, dug deep and after
a rain disrupted meeting managed to
clinch a two point victory to take down
to the St Boniface Area for the second
leg. With the final score ending up
at 47-45 it could have been so much
better for the hosts having been twelve
points up at heat ten but with a tactical
working for the Devils in Heat Eleven
and back to back 5-1’s in the last two
heats the Wildcats advantage was almost
washed away.
Kyle Newman was a man on a mission for
the hosts after claiming four straight
wins in his programmed rides, a first
for the young Wildcat reserve he took
a reserve ride in the penultimate race
to replace the battered Tim Webster
who had already had two falls in his
previous rides. It wasn’t to be five
in a row for Kyle though as he clipped
the back of Paul Starke going into turn
three for the first time and took a
heavy fall that ended his dreams of
a fifteen point maximum.
After flying in from Australia on Wednesday
on what was originally planned to be
a holiday Lee Herne made his return
to British speedway after a three year
absence. It wasn’t a good start though,
having had no time to practise, lining
up on unfamiliar machinery Lee had a
bit too close an encounter with the
tapes in his first ride. Things looked
up after that though with very impressive
back to back wins that hinted at things
to come from the elder of the two Hernes.
The old statesmen of conference league
Stephens and Simmonds were piling in
the points for the Devils with Stephens
taking a critical tactical ride in heat
eleven for the visitors that marked
a turning point in the meeting that
saw the hosts gain just one heat advantage
in the remaining heats.
The postponed Plymouth leg of this meeting
will take place on the 4th July 2008.
