Halifax `golden Fleece` Dukes 21 Northside Stars 15

[dukes]

A entertaining NJL match at Scunthorpe saw Halifax `Golden Fleece` Dukes edge Northside Stars and retain their unbeaten status.

 

Heat 1. James Hitchen and Luke McKenna made perfect starts, leaving Joe Lawlor and Sheldon Davies at the start. By end of bend 2 Lawlor had shown the experience he has gained in the NJL, by going round all to take the lead and finish in a fast time.

 

Heat 2. A flying start by both Dukes was a pleasure to watch, but Corban Pavitt was having none of it and by lap 3 had reeled in Luke Harrison by pressuring him and secured a second place to The Flying Palin.

 

Heat 3. Saw Lawlor make the gate and gone, McKenna and Hitchen traded places several times with Davies sneaking up all the time.

 

Heat 4. Palin was like a rocket from the start, Pavitt followed with Harrison looking smooth in third until horror struck and he cartwheeled in a nasty looking tumble. When he jumped up from his fall everyone sighed with relief.

 

Heat 5. With Lawlor gone, Hitchen and McKenna looked comfortable for equal points, but Davies had other ideas. Lap by lap he reeled McKenna in to pip him for a excellent point.

 

Heat 6. Turbo propelled Palin shot from the start with Pavitt in hot pursuit. Harrison back on the gas after his previous rides tumble ensured a 4-2 to the Dukes and the match spoils.

 

Well done to all the riders who entertained a sizable crowd who stayed behind to watch.
