Weymouth Weyline Wildcats suffered double defeat at Buxton on Sunday in the double header National League and Trophy fixtures 65-25 and 54-38 respectively.
The Wildcats eventually drafted in Luke Priest as a replacement for Byron Bekker who crashed heavily on Friday night breaking his collarbone and a knuckle but were hit with more bad news with Karl Mason being forced to withdraw due to illness enroute to Buxton Sunday morning.
Star of the show was Craig Cook being unbeaten in all of his rides with solid support from Robert Branford and Jason Garrity throughout. James Cockle led the way for the Wildcats in the first meeting with 11 points but lacked any support. In the following Trophy fixture Luke priest top scored 9+1 with Gary Cottham chipping in with 8+2 but they couldn’t stop the all round strength of the Hitmen.
The Wildcats travel to the Isle of Wight on today and have booked in Adam McKinna as cover for Bekker. McKinna rode his second meeting back from injury last month at Smallbrook scoring 7+1 and has since been recalled by parent club Newcastle to resume his place in their Premier League side at reserve.
The three meetings so far at Smallbrook between the South Coast sides has seen the Islanders come out top back in April 56-38, May 51-39 and in July 60-32. Tonight’s fixture gets underway at 7.30pm at the Smallbrook stadium.
