Chris Widman made a successful return to the club where he spent the 2011 National League season by scoring a full 9 points, whilst Tom Woolley also went unbeaten by a visitor on 7+2. Mancunian Andy Mellish top scored for the visitors with 6+1 Widman and Woolley opened the meeting with a convincing 5-1 as the visitors struggled to get to grips with the track, but the racing became closer as the Stoke riders began to adjust in later races. John Markham was excluded from heat 2 after running very wide on the second bend and into the airfence. In the re-run 15-year-old Michael Neale stalked Mellish for 2 laps before executing a neat inside pass to take the lead, only for his engine to stop as he was about to take the last lap flag. Heat 3 saw Mellish a faller as Neale shared a 5-1 with race winner Widman. Woolley was a comfortable winner of heat 4, but he missed the action behind him as Shaun Tedham and David Holt raced shoulder to shoulder, passing and re-passing for four laps in the best race of the night. Heat 5, saw a Widman and Woolley team-ride as they both completed their maximum scores, but the visitors gained some consolation with a 5-1 through Tedham and Mellish in the last race after the unlucky Neale again suffered an engine failure whilst riding a good race in second place. Andy Mellish was a change to the programme in heat 6 replacing John Markham who was having machine problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
