In front of a large crowd on a warm May evening at the Wessex Stadium the
Wildcats turned up the heat on the Crusaders
in their most impressive outing yet.
With all the home riders scoring well
they took the lead from heat one and
proceeded to open a 30 point gap on
the visitors to take the win 61-31.
Jerran Hart looked impressive for the
Crusaders after a disappointing first
ride he donned the black and white colours
in heat 7 in an attempt to close the
thirteen point deficit. After coming
out of the first bend third he proceeded
to take Tim Webster down the home straight
as they started the second lap then
surprised Jay Herne going into turn
one to hit the front. Herne pushed hard
but was unable to reclaim the place
giving Jerran a double points tactical
victory but with the Cats packing in
behind him he only managed to close
the gap by 3 points. That was the only
heat advantage the visitors achieved
all night.
Jon Armstrong and Karl Mason both claimed
paid maximums each dropping just one
point to fellow team members. Luke Priest
was also on for a paid 5 ride maximum
had it not been for a questionable exclusion
in heat five when the race was stopped
after he passed Dean Felton up the inside
in turn one running wide to block the
opposing rider, the referee claiming
unfair riding and excluded him.
Kyle Newman made a return to the Wessex
after breaking his collar bone recently
at the Isle of Wight and after three
disappointing rides where he fell in
all he claimed an impressive win in
heat twelve leading from the gate backed
up by team mate Luke Priest.
With the team now starting to gel well
and the early season disappointments
and mechanical gremlins well behind
them, the Wildcats are now looking like
a force to be reckoned with.
