What a great night of speedway at Plough Lane, with a meeting that looked likely to be rainned off prior to the meeting. There had be a lot of rain for 2 days leading up to the meeting and about an hour before the meeting we had a few heavy showers which looked like they might put paid to us getting this meeting in. However Dingle and the track staff worked hard to ensure that this meeting went ahead, therefore with adverse weather conditions we did not have a interval tell after heat 12 when by then the GMB Dons already had the meeting in the bag. Congratulations to all riders on what was a bit of a cold and wet night.

Heat 1 J Wright, B Evans, M Wright, C Wright 61.2 (3-3)(3-3)

Good ride by C Wright who nearly did a 90 degree turn up the fence, Charles managed to hold his bike and carry on racing without any distruption to the race. James Wright shot out of the gate for the Hitmen, and recorded the fastest time of the meeting in 61.2 second.

Heat 2 J Clement, A Cross, P Sharples, A Brown 66.4 (5-1)(8-4)

Fantastic ride by james Clement and Andre cross for the GMB Dons they left the Hitmen at the back as they shot out the gate to record a 5-1 for the GMB Dons. This reserve heat is going to be a very good race with the pairing of Andre Cross and James Clement I feel that it is going to get harder for any reserve pairings to beat these two.

Heat 3 J Wright, W Broadhusrt, G Hedge, B Compton 61.6 (3-3) (11-7)

With both James Wright and Wayne Broadhurst shotting out the gate this could have been anyone's race, However James Wright rode a super line around Broadhurst to ensure that the vistors were going to get 3 points out of this race as Gavin Hedge was close in on 3rd place.

Heat 4 M Burrows, J Clement, P Burnett, P Sharples 67.2 (5-1)(16-8)

This was a great race by the GMB Dons Duo of Mark BUZZ Burrows and James Clement, as Buzz made a fantastic gate along with James, with James nipping into 2nd infront of Paul Burnett, Buzz held up the race to keep James up with him.

Heat 5 J Wright (T/R) G Hedge, W Broadhurst, C Wright 62.5 (3-6)(19-14)

James rode a fantastic race for the Buxton Hitmen as team Manager Jack Lee brought James out to take a tactical ride. Gavin Hedge nearly got Wright coming of the bend but James rode fantastically to keep his line to ensure that the hitmen hit back to gain 6 points.

Heat 6 B Evans, M Wright, A Brown, P Burnett 65.1 (5-1)(24-15)

The GMB Dons Duo of new signings Barrie Evans and Matt Wright are going to be a force not to be messed with as they showed that given a few more meetings together they are going to unbeatable. Barrie and Matt hit back with a 5-1 in this race over the out of touch Paul Burnett, and Alan Brown. Paul Burnett, fell during the race but remounted and continued to finish the race.

Heat 7 M Burrows, B Compton, A Cross, C Wright 65.4 (4-2)(28-17)

In this race it looked as if Buzz and Andre were onto another 5-1 for the GMB Dons. This was not going to be the case as Andre tryed to tackle Buzz, Andre lost a little bit of grip and hit a slick patch of the track which allowed Benji Compton to go through and pick up the 2 points.

Heat 9 G Hedge, W Broadhurst, A Brown, Paul Burnett 64.8 (5-1)(37-20)

In this race we saw the referee order a re run, and an unsatisfactory start, in the re run no one was going to go around Gavin, he made a fantastic gate and held his line to win the race from the start. With Wayne Broadhurst slipping in behind Gavin it was another 5-1 to the GMB Dons which extended their lead.

Heat 10 B Evans, B Compton, M Wright, P Sharples 65.0 (4-2)(41-22)

This race saw the GMB Dons secure another 4-2 with Matt and Barrie gaining a 4-2 over the Hitmen. Benji Compton did well to split Evans and Wright up, as they looked all set for a 5-1 but Compton managed to find a line through pass Matt to gain the hitmen 2 points.

Heat 11 J Wright, A Cross, M Burrows, C Wright. 62.7 (3-3)(44-25)

This saw yet another fantastic race by the Buxton Hitmens number one James Wright as he shot out the gate with Buzz Burrows. James got the better of Buzz, and as Buzz was trying to do his famous move around the outside, Burrows fell and hit the deck. However Buzz got to his feet and carried on with the race, as team mate Andre cross was lying in 2nd. Buzz continued racing and made up a huge gap and managed to nip in to take 3rd place over Charles Wright.
