Reigning MDL champions Belle Vue raced to a resounding 17-7 victory over Coventry in a meeting curtailed at heat 4 with the result standing. After a major crash in heat 9 of the main meeting there was a long delay whilst the riders were examined meaning the 2^nd half ran late. This was very frustrating for riders and management after the previous week’s problems.

The Colts tracked local lad Conor Dwyer as a replacement for Michael Neale and the Vikings squad member on his return from injury was unbeaten in his three rides! That just about rubbed salt in the wound with the home side hitting all sorts of gremlins and problems.

Number one Ryan Terry-Daley , usually unbeatable at this level, tried a different bike out in his first ride before having problems on his usual machine in his second outing. Adam Sheppard fell in heat 2 whilst holding second spot and skipper John markham hit mechanical gremlins all night.

Debutant Jason Garrad bounced back from a last place first time out to hold off MDLRC reigning champion Shaun Tedham in heat 3 with an impressive ride from the former moto-crosser in just his ninth time on a speedway bike!

Sam Ward was forced out of the clash with a blown engine leaving Belle Vue utilising rider-replacement for him and with their top three on form this boosted them as the home side just had no answer to the Colts.
