The Rebels were always in command after taking an 11-point lead in the opening four heats. Glasgow hit back strongly midway through the match, but Somerset settled to secure a welcome win, following a couple of frustrating home defeats by Rye House and Workington. Victory for Jason King Jason King provided a major boost for the Rebels. He was unbeaten by an opponent in his four programmed rides, and figured in some spectacular overtaking moves on his way to winning the Rider of the Night award. The talented 19-year-old gave an indication of what was to follow in heat two, when he swept around the outside of Trent Leverington on his way to victory. He also came from behind next time out, in heat seven, to follow Glenn Cunningham home, after battling his way past Claus Kristensen and James Birkinshaw. Problems for Glasgow It was clear that Glasgow faced an uphill task when they hit problems in heat four. Skipper Shane Parker pulled up with mechanical problems on the first bend and Trent Leverington fell on the third lap, giving Cunningham and Lee Smart a 5-0 that saw Somerset take a 17-6 lead. Tigers boss Stewart Dickson made good use of his tactical rides, with George Stancl winning heat five ahead of Paul Fry and Ritchie Hawkins for a 6-3. Then Parker won heat nine, with Leverington celebrating his 25th birthday by following his fellow Australian home, ahead of Fry and Hawkins for an 8-1. That reduced Somerset's lead to five points, but the Rebels came back in style with two successive 5-1s. King provides the thrills King again thrilled the crowd on a cold and windy evening, when he went around the outside of Stancl and Matthew Wethers, to follow Cunningham home for a maximum return. Rebels manager Mick Bell gave King an additional ride in heat 12, but he suffered his one defeat of the evening, trailing home last. Partner Ritchie Hawkins showed he had recovered from his recent injury problems by driving inside Leverington and James Cockle to give Somerset a share of the points. Jamie Smith was also back to his best after his recent rib injury. He dropped his only points when he fell whilst leading in heat eight. A win for the Rebels Parker and Stancl sounded a note of defiance in heat 13. They took maximum points from Magnus Zetterstrom and Cunningham to cut the Glasgow deficit to nine points, going into the final two races. King rounded off the evening in style, ensuring victory for the Rebels as he joined Fry in a 5-1. In the final race, Cunningham and Zetterstrom gained revenge over Parker and Stancl, as Cunningham came through from the back for his fourth win of the evening. |
