Earlier in the day I had thought that we would have yet another rain off at Plough Lane, as the weather looked very muggy and there was some rain in the morning. However the rain cleared up ad the sun came out. This will have pleased many Wimbledon Supporters as we have suffered 6 rain off already this season. However heat 1 saw a very nasty fall for Newport rider Karl Mason, this saw a lengthy delay to the meeting as he was taken to hospital. Racing re- commenced at approximatley 8:35 about an hour after the meeting had official started.

The rerun of heat one was run about an hour after Karl Masons accident. Newport replaced Karl Mason with their reserve rider Karl Ezergailis in heat 1. The GMB Dons managed to get out the gate infront of Ezergailis and Legg to record a 5-1 to the GMB Dons.

There was another delay when Andre Cross was being checked out by the St John Ambulance as it looked like he hurt his foot when he collided with Karl Ezergailis.

Andre's bike came back to the pits and work was done on it to get Andre out in the re run.

In the 3rd attempt of this race Ezergailis got out and with Andre Cross sticking in 2nd this gave the Newport GMB Mavericks a 4-2.

With the Rye House Elmside Raider riding a 5 man team a win was looking possible for the GMB Dons. Rye House were already without the injuried Luke Clifton, along with Steve Boxall on under 21 duty and Tommy Allen who was injuried in the previous meeting this afternoon against Eastbourne. Rye House rode Rider Replacement for Steve Boxall, they brought in Mark Basbey for the injuried Luke Clifton and they gave Barry Burchatt and Harland Cook Tommy Allens rides.

Wimbledon were still minus the injuried captain Wayne Broadhurst, therefore rode rider replacement. The track was poor come the Raiders and Dons Meeting and most the GMB Dons found it very hard to settle down and get to grips with the track.

On the 2nd lap Barry Burchatt came down after going out wide and straight through the fence. On the re run Buzz got out with Parsons but seemed to be very unconfortable with the track and kept going out wide and nearly fell again.
