Knights put Colts to the sword

MK Knights climbed to the top of the Midland Development League table on Monday night with a 17-19 away victory at top of the table Belle Vue Colts in Manchester, their 4^th away victory from 5 matches!

On a warm night in Manchester, the Knights went ahead in heat 2 when Shaun Tedham & guest rider Lee Geary took advantage of home rider Michael Neale falling to take the race with a 1-5 points advantage!

After 4 races, the Knights lead the Colts 11-13 but a 4-2 heat win by the home side levelled the scores at 15-15 with 1 race to go!

As the final heat started, the MK duo of Dwyer & Tedham leapt to the front and looked to be heading to a maximum heat advantage until home rider Neale took a heavy fall into the safety fence, causing the race to be stopped and re-run!

As the tapes went up for the re-start, Dwyer again reached the 1^st bend in front with Colts Tom Woolley close behind and Tedham tucking in for the match winning point in 3^rd

The win puts MK top of the table on 12pts from 8 matches with Long Eaton & Belle Vue joint 2^nd on 11pts, having ridden 10 & 9 matches each
