The Diamond H Belle Vue Colts completed their home programme of MDL fixtures with a narrow 19-17 victory over a lively King's Lynn Lightning.

 

Matt Williamson opened the meeting with the first of three wins, and with David Holt in third place, the Colts took a first heat 4-2

The Colts gated first in heat 2, with Sam Ward coming to grief and remounting on the fourth bend. Nathan Greaves passed Rob Shuttleworth on the next lap with the Colts rider losing control and falling. Greaves continued to pressure Tom Woolley but could find no way past.

 

Another 4-2 from Williamson and Holt in heat 3 put the Colts 4 points up.

 

An eventful heat 4 was started 3 times.

 

At the first time of asking Connor Mountain got out of shape on the top bend, collecting Shuttleworth resulting in a re-run with the Lightning man disqualified.

 

At the restart Andy Mountain ran into Shuttleworth on the first corner. A re-run with all 3 riders left Shuttleworth's pit crew having to quickly replace a broken clutch lever. At the third attempt Mountain won, with the points shared 3-3.

 

Heat 5 saw the Colts gate on a 5-1, but Shuttleworth then fell, impeding his teammate and allowing Connor Mountain through for a win which set up a last heat decider with the Colts leading by 2.

 

Matt Williamson secured victory for the Colts by completing his maximum in heat 6 despite the strong challenges from Andy Mountain and Nathan Greaves.
