Phil Bartlett's men comfortably defeated the Boston Barracudas 54-39 at the Wessex Stadium to earn two huge Conference League points. But the victory came at a price as Webster suffered a fractured ankle in a heat 11 horror smash and could now face up to six weeks on the sidelines. The Plymouth-based racer was chasing Boston's Darren Mallett hard for third place, when the visiting rider fell on lap two, turn two. Webster had nowhere to go and slammed into the Barracuda legs first, before reeling back in agony..

Weymouth Doonan Wildcats' boss Jem Dicken has heralded the return to form of Aussie ace Jay Herne. The Poole Pirates-asset recorded a 12-point maximum in last Saturday's Kingswood Hotel Four-Team Trophy success at the Wessex Stadium and Dicken is keen to see the good scores continue. He said: "Jay seems to have turned his early season below-par performances around and is now scoring heavily. Hopefully he can continue that this weekend against the Boston Barracudas and hopefully we'll be able to further strengthen our position in the Conference League."
