My friend from Russia wrote me that Czervonograd ( about 70 km north to
Lvov) is third Ukrainian speedway center. Two years ago took place one or
two meetings.

Subject: Match Report: Edinburgh 47 Hull 43
Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 02:17:51 +0100
Edinburgh Monarchs 47: Hull Vikings 43=20
Premier National Trophy=20
Lothian Arena, Armadale=20
Friday 26th May 2000=20
Edinburgh won a very tight match against Hull at Armadale after a last heat
decider.=20
While Hull took the lead after heat 2 and held it through till heat 13, and
went into the final heat level, there was little doubt that Monarchs would
win. The dominance of Peter Carr and Robert Eriksson was always likely to
give them a decisive edge in heat 13 and 15. Monarchs took a 5-1 in the
last heat to take the bonus point as well.
Hull stayed in the match thanks to the performance of their reserves who
outscored the makeshift Monarchs pairing by a massive ten paid thirteen as
against one point.
The track was offered very little on the wider line, especially early on.
This probably stemmed from the ever-uncertain weather with rain threatening
but staying away. The trick was to gate and stay on the white line. This
suited many of the Hull riders but not Paul Thorp.=20
Edinburgh were without both reserves, David McAllan who was injured at
Berwick last week and Christian Henry who crashed at St. Austell. Jon
Swales and Derek Sneddon stood in. Hull again had former rider Ray Morton
guesting for the injured Garry Stead. Former Newcastle reserve Jamie Smith
came in at number 6 in place of Wesley Waite who was dropped.
Heat 1: Robert Eriksson, Paul Thorp, Ren=E9 Aas, Blair Scott [57.4]=20
Robert Eriksson gated ahead of the Hull pair. Paul Thorp went too wide on
the second bend and lost a lot of ground. Blair Scott chased Aas and seemed
to have forced his way past into second place off the fourth bend. However
Blair couldn't sustain it around the first and second bends as Aas stuck to
the white line. Blair was slowed up by the Estonian allowing Thorp to close
up and take third place. The Hull pair then team rode to tie the heat.=20
(3-3) (3-3)=20
Heat 2: Mike Smith, Jamie Smith, Derek Sneddon, Jon Swales [58.7]=20
The Hull pair gated but Jon Swales passed Jamie Smith on the back straight.
By then, Mike Smith was well away. Jon Swales seemed to be toiling and his
bike developed problems causing him to slow right down and gift a 5-1 to
the visitors=20
(1-5) (4-8)=20
Heat 3: Kevin Little, Lee Dicken, Ross Brady, Mike Smith [58.6]=20
Paul Smith was excluded when his bike developed problems on the start line.
His namesake Mike came in to replace him. Kevin Little gated from Dicken.
Ross Brady tried to get past Dicken but found the outside line unresponsive
and soon was under pressure from Mike Smith. Mike Smith seemed to have
taken third bend on the last lap but Brady came back to pass off the last
bend.=20
(4-2) (8-10)=20
Heat 4: Peter Carr, Ray Morton, Jamie Smith [58.1]=20
Hull made a reserve change bringing in Jamie Smith for Mike Smith. Derek
Sneddon suffered an engine failure and stopped. Carr won after shaking off
the early attentions of Ray Morton.=20
(3-3) (11-13)=20
Heat 5: Ren=E9 Aas, Kevin Little, Paul Thorp, Ross Brady [58.9]=20
Aas gated ahead of Little and Brady with Thorp at the back once more. Brady
had a go around the outside but again lost ground and was passed by Thorp.
Meanwhile Aas held on the beat Little and extend the Hull lead.
(2-4) (13-17)=20
Heat 6: Ray Morton, Robert Eriksson, Blair Scott, Jamie Smith [58.1]=20
Robert Eriksson missed the start and Ray Morton established a lead that was
never really challenged. Blair Scott took third to tie the heat.=20
(3-3) (16-20)=20
Heat 7: Peter Carr, Lee Dicken, Paul Smith, Jon Swales [58.7]=20
A routine win for Peter Carr ahead of Lee Dicken and Paul Smith.=20
(3-3) (19-23)=20
Heat 8: Blair Scott, Mike Smith, Ren=E9 Aas, Derek Sneddon [59.2]=20
Blair Scott made a great start from the outside trap to cut off Mike Smith
on the back straight and won without difficulty. Derek Sneddon had a decent
ride and pushed Aas all the way.=20
(3-3) (22-26)=20
Heat 9: Ray Morton, Kevin Little, Ross Brady, Jamie Smith [58.2]=20
Ray Morton gated but Kevin Little forced his way inside Morton on the back
straight. Ray Morton came back to pass Kevin Little off the fourth bend.=20
(3-3) (25-29)=20
Heat 10: Robert Eriksson, Blair Scott, Lee Dicken, Paul Smith [58.1]=20
Eriksson and Scott gated to secure a 5-1 and level the scores.=20
(5-1) (30-30)=20
Heat 11: Peter Carr, Paul Thorp, Ren=E9 Aas, Jon Swales [57.8]=20
Another predictable tied heat with Carr never in danger and Swales at the
back.=20
(3-3) (33-33)=20
Heat 12: Paul Smith, Ross Brady, Jamie Smith, Jon Swales [59.2]=20
Ross Brady made his first start but Paul Smith was on a better line through
the second bend and went ahead. Ross made no impression. Reserve
replacement Jon Swales missed out again to Jamie Smith as Hull took the
lead once more
(2-4) (35-37)=20
Heat 13: Robert Eriksson, Peter Carr, Ray Morton, Paul Thorp [57.3]=20
Eriksson made the start from gate 2 while Carr was slower away but produced
a superb second bend turn to take second place. The Monarchs' pairing
pulled further and further ahead.=20
(5-1) (40-38)=20
Heat 14: Lee Dicken, Kevin Little, Mike Smith, Jon Swales [59.2]=20
Dicken gated from Little with Swales holding third place. Little tried to
pass Dicken but never quite managed it. Meanwhile Mike Smith chased Jon
Swales all the way and while everyone was watching Little attempt to pass
Dicken, he snatched a decision on the line.
(2-4) (42-42)=20
Heat 15: Peter Carr, Robert Eriksson, Ray Morton, Lee Dicken [58.3]
Eriksson made another start from the outside gate. Carr again missed the
start but produced a breathtaking second bend to pass both Hull riders. Lee
Dicken looked so bemused he spun. He stayed down hoping for a red light but
nothing was forthcoming so he did the decent thing and restarted. Peter
Carr won from Robert Eriksson who seemed concerned about the noise his
engine was making.=20
(5-1) (47-43)=20

Monarchs were never going to have it easy with their stand-in reserve
pairing. Peter Carr was never threatened and Robert Eriksson only dropped
one point in heat 6 after he was outgated by Ray Morton. Ross Brady was out
of touch and never really got his gating going. Kevin Little had problems
with his bike which he had straightened out from last week's crash. He
reported that it was riding strangely although his engine seemed fine.
Blair Scott put in a typical performance with two dodgy rides followed by
two great ones. Just as he seemed to have come to terms with the track by
heat 10, he had completed his last ride! At least next week at reserve he
will be able to have extra rides. Neither of the Monarchs reserves made any
impact although neither were off the pace, it never happened for either of
them. In retrospect they were always going to be up against it with the
strength-in-depth Hull side.=20
Ray Morton was the pick of the visitors. Paul Thorp struggled on the track
with some slow starts but the remainder of the team got amongst the points.
Jamie Smith was impressive on his Hull debut although maybe more would have
been expected from Mike Smith given his current form.=20
Man of the match: Peter Carr
Next meeting: v Arena Essex, Premier League, Purfleet on Saturday 27th May
