Ref is Mick Posselwhite, weather has been grey all day, bit of drizzle, with some fog over the hills . . . . .
Dudley won the toss, and are taking gates 2&4 in heat 1. Sparse crowd as expected, just hope for a win on the night.

Ht 2, 1st Greaves, 2nd Widman, 3rd Stoneman, 4th Isherwood, 72.6, 3-3, 5-7, 36-66. From gate.
Ht 3, 1st Perry, 2nd Morris, 3rd Clegg, Ritchings Exc, Awarded, 3-3, 8-10, 39-69. Perry second from gate, but rounded Morris on 4th bend. Ritchings picked up grip on 2nd bend, lap 3, and hit the fence. He was taken off in ambulnace to be checked over by paramedic, and has now been transferred to the county ambulance, to have x-rays on a suspected leg injury. Withdrawn from meeting, sad end to his season, one of the better riders for the I.o.W. this year.
Ht 4, Steve Worrall R/R in Red.
Ht 4, 1st Worrall, 2nd Starke, 3rd Greaves, 4th Widman, 70.2, 3-3, 11-13, 42-72. Starke gated, but Worrall around outside on 3/4th bend.
Ht 5, Danny Stoneman in Blue for Ritchings.
Ht 5, 1st Blackbird, 2nd Stoneman, 3rd Perry, 4th Greenwood, 69.4, 3-3, 14-16, 45-75, Tussle between Perry & Greenwood on first lap for 3rd place.
Ht 6, 1st Worrall, 2nd Starke, 3rd Isherwood, 4th Johnson, 69.8, 3-3, 17-19, 48-78. Johnson right on Isherwood's tail for 4 laps.
Ht 7, Tom Perry R/R in Red.
Ht 7, 1st Perry, 2nd Morris, 3rd Stoneman, 4th Clegg, 70.1, 4-2, 21-21, 52-80. From gate, although Perry & Morris dicing weel on first lap.
Ht 8, 1st Greenwood, 2nd Greaves, 3rd Johnson, Widman Fell, 72.4, 1-5, 22-26, 53-85. From gate.
Ht 9, Danny Stoneman in Blue for Ritchings.
Ht 9, 1st Perry, 2nd Starke, 3rd Stoneman, 4th Isherwood, 70.8, 4-2, 26-28, 55-89. Stoneman round Isherwood on 4th bend, lap 3, good ride.
Ht 10, 1st Worrall, 2nd Morris, 3rd Johnson, 4th Clegg, 71.2, 4-2, 30-30, 59-91. Morris gated but Worrall around outside of bend 2.
Ht 11, Brendan Johnson R/R in Red. Dan Greenwood fell on 4th bend, lap 1, and was excluded, race to be rerun. He's up and ok.
Ht 11, 1st Blackbird, 2nd Stoneman, 3rd Johnson, Greenwood FX, 70.7, 3-3, 33-33, 62-94. From gate, although Johnson was running second, but had bike issues and limped over line.
Ht 12, 1st Perry, 2nd Morris, 3rd Isherwood, Widman Ret, 71.3, 3-3, 36-36, 65-97. Widman last when he had bike troubles. Great cut-back by Morris on 1st bend, but Perry, back to full fitness, stormed around outside on back straight.
Ht 13, Danny Stoneman R/R in Blue.
Ht 13, 1st Blackbird, 2nd Worrall, 3rd Starke, 4th Stoneman, 70.4, 2-4, 38-40, 67-101. Bad gate for Worrall, but he stalked Starke superbly, surged into second.
Ht 14, Chris Widman in Red for Ritchings.
ht 14, 1st Greaves, 2nd Stoneman, 3rd Widman, 4th Clegg, 72.0, 3-3, 41-43, 70-104. Stoneman and Widman past Clegg on first lap.
Ht 15, Red = Tom Perry, Blue = Steve Worrall, White = Paul Starke, Yellow = Lewis Blackbird. I.o.W. chose gates 2&4.
Ht 15, 1st Starke, 2nd Perry, 3rd Blackbird, 4th Worrall, 69.7, 2-4, 43-47, 72-108. Worrall got fenced on first bend and it looked like Dudley would romp to a 5-1 to finish. However Perry had other ideas and blasted round Blackbird on 4th bend, lap 3, and would've passed Starke as well if they could've raced another half a lap, good race to finish.
