The Rebels provided 14 out of the 15 heat winners, and secured heat advantages in 11 races. The die was cast as early as the opening two heats, with Somerset recording maximum 5-1 heat advantages in both races. By heat five, the Monarchs were already resorting to tactical rides, with their captain, Theo Pijper, donning the black and white helmet colours. The Rebels dominate So dominant were the Rebels, that Edinburgh's only successes of the night came in heat seven, when they recorded their own heat advantage, and in heat eight, when Lund took the chequered flag for the Monarch's only heat win of the night. By the end of heat eight, however, the Rebels had opened a 12-point lead, with the scores standing in their favour 31-19. This was further increased in heat nine when Paul Fry and Ritchie Hawkins, maintaining his excellent form of recent weeks, scored another 5-1 heat victory, to put Somerset almost out of sight of their Scottish opponents. Further 4-2 heat advantages followed in the next three heats to assure the home side victory on the night. Victory for the Rebels With three heats still remaining, the Rebels pressed home their advantage. Heat 13 showed why the Somerset pairing of Zetterstrom and Cunningham were runners up in the recent Premier League Pairs Championship. They rode an excellent team race to shut out the Monarchs' duo, and take the match score to 53-27 in their favour. With thoughts of reaching the 60-point barrier now a reality, Paul Fry took an excellent victory in heat 14. Lee Smart came to the fore to thwart Edinburgh's Kristian Lund's attempt to score double points from a substitute ride. The final heat saw Somerset hit the 60-point mark for the first time this season as Zorro (Zetterstrom) took the race win to record his second successive home maximum. So, with the match ending on a comfortable win for the Rebels, and both Magnus Zetterstrom and Glenn Cunningham finishing the meeting with maximum scores to their name, this was a good all-round team performance. Whilst it would be wrong to single out any individual for praise, special mention must be made of Rebel reserve Lee Smart, who was awarded the Rider of the Night award for his best home performance of the season. |
