The Weymouth Doonan Wildcats ventured to Devon last Friday for the restaged Conference League match in what was the eighth meeting against the Plymouth Devils this season.  The Wildcats had yet to overhaul the Devils on their own turf but confidence was high after some impressive performances from the travelling team.  Nonetheless, the Devils still raced to a 51-42 victory and remain unbeaten at home this season but the Wildcats weren’t without their chances.  Jem Dicken Wildcats team manager said “I was disappointed with the result at Plymouth, but not the effort put in, which was 100%. Yet again, we lost points through mechanical problems and by throwing away race winning positions which cost us dear.”

The Wildcats put on a scintillating display on Saturday night when they defeated the Scunthorpe Saints 52-29 on a soggy evening at the Wessex Stadium.  The meeting was abandoned after heat 13 after a downpour made visibility virtually non existent and, with the result already beyond doubt, the decision was taken to abandon the last two heats.  Team Manager Dicken said “I was delighted once again with the home form of Kyle Newman who recorded his first paid maximum of his Conference League career.  I’m looking forward to claiming another two points this week when Buxton are the visitors “.
