Andrew
Bargh is a more than adequate replacement
for the departing Lee Herne according
to Weymouth Doonan Wildcats' manager
Jem Dicken. The Premier League rider,
who turns out for the Isle of Wight
Islanders, stepped in for the Australian
at Sittingbourne yesterday and top
scored with 13 points as the Wildcats
moved to third in the Conference
table with a comprehensive 60-31
victory.
Ex-Cat Brown Denies Herne The Bronze
Helmet
Weymouth
Doonan Wildcat Jay Herne finished
runner-up in the NatWest Bronze
Helmet Individual Meeting at the
Wessex Stadium. The Aussie won three
out of his four races in the heats
where he top scored with 11 points
to progress straight through to
the final. There he came up against
Plymouth Devil and former Wildcat
Tom Brown who squeezed him out on
the second bend before defending
his lead for three laps to take
victory.
Pressure's On For Mason And Herne
Weymouth
Doonan Wildcats host the coveted
NatWest Bronze Helmet Individual
meeting tonight (7.15pm) and chairman
Phil Bartlett believes the pressure
will be on home riders Jay Herne
and Karl Mason. In total, 13 of
the Conference league's most exciting
riders will battle it out for the
prestigious award. And Bartlett
is quietly confident his duo can
perform well. He said: "I think
they will fare well. They've got
a point to prove racing on their
home track and there will be more
pressure on them than the other
riders because of that."
