Hello and welcome to Gladiators TV my name is Gareth B your host and your commentator for this evening’s match tonight we have got the Plymouth Gladiators here at the Coliseum and they are going up against the pool Pirates and this is part of the BSN series The Southern section of the BSN series

The Gladiators went down to pool last week of course and uh I think it’s fair to say that they took a bit of a hiding down there so there is an awful lot of Pride at stake tonight coupled with that of course Oxford were here last week and

They too managed to beat the Gladiators at home so the Gladiators really are up against things here there’s an awful lot of Pride at stake it’s going to be a different cattle of fish on this track tonight yeah for sure this is our home track we’ve had a a couple meetings here now

With star’s testimonial and last week so look we we’ve all got a rough idea we just need to make it happen and get the job done last week it was good to get a meeting under your belt because you know you you were later than some teams

Kicking off and then and You’ got some rides around here so yeah it was good obviously the weather played a little bit of a part with the rain and everything made it a little bit trickier towards the end but that’s how it is you can’t help that but look weather’s

Looking good hopefully it stays good for us tonight and we can crack on no Richie world tonight but you can all take one of his rides so you you’ll be have plenty of action this evening yeah he’s going to be a big big for us obviously Rich goes well around here he’s been

Riding well so um yeah R we’ll do what we do and um like I said it gives some of the boys and myself some more track time here and um try and learn some more things and like I said get the job done and get a win and move on you must have

Been encouraged by Jake Turner last week he he had a really good meeting didn’t he yeah he did he showed some really good glimpse of of improving and he had some good races and he was aggressive and uh he was really mix mixing it out there so hopefully he can do that

Tonight and get a bag full wish you all the best of this evening thank you well Ben it’s been a great start to the season for the Pirates three wins out of three must be very pleased with how it’s going so far yeah so far so good uh

Perfect start um long season ahead but uh yeah we’re keen to keep that uh winning streak going for sure and it it’s not just one of two Riders all of you are riding really well at the moment yeah they kind of built the team off that you know not just necessarily top

Three heavy but um but like you said everyone’s doing their job and um that makes life a lot easier for for everyone else not any uh everyone can just do their own thing you don’t you know not relying on just a couple of people so um

Yeah so good so far so good you gave Plymouth a good thumping last week but this this tracks a different cattle of fish I guess yeah that’s for sure uh anyone can pop out and win here uh it’s a unique track you could say um but yeah

You know we got to come here we got to we got the same goal to get a win and um I’m sure they do after their after the their defeat but um yeah no we’re keen and ready to go you’re missing Anders who got injured at the weekend but as I

Said you’re all going well so you can all sort of chip in and take those rides can’t you yeah that’s it uh it’s never ideal losing someone early but I think he’s it’s not too serious so he’ll be fine but um yeah just a bit of rest and

He’ll be back but uh yeah like you said an extra ride for a few of us tonight and yeah it’ll be good they’re missing Richie W which is obviously a big Miss for them but similarly they can take R replacement ride so yeah definitely Richie’s uh he’s good around here and um

Yeah they’ll be missing him tonight but um you know they got Boys in this team that are more than capable of doing their job and more so um yeah we’ll see how it goes it must be nice you’ve already wrapped up your your place in the semi-finals before we even race this

Meeting but you know there’s very much pride on the line isn’t there yeah that’s it um you always want to go out and win so um that’s what they’re wanting to do and that’s what we want to do so um yeah we’ll put on the show for

Tonight all the best of this evening B thank you the have gone for 1 and three Heat number one so that means we’re in column a column A in the program tonight starting with the rider introductions then the Wayside tonight give him a big chair it’s the PO

Pirates riding at number one their Captain Stevie W it’s R of replacement at number two for Anders row at number three Road well last night Ben cirk at number four his brother Zack cook riding at number five I’m sure he’s going to get War welcome is Richard

Lawson riding at number six a former devil Kyle Newman and at number seven Road a few laps here last season it’s Adam roer and your home team tonight give him a big cheer it’s the pouth Gladiators ring at number one your captain K Howard it’s Wonder placement number two

For Richie Ro and number three Dan JS righting at number four postar at number five is Ben Barker and then moving on to the reserves at number six Jake Turner and at number seven is Ben trigger so we have heat number one coming to the tapes and on the inside

Off of gate one this time we will have Ryder replacement for Richie morl Ben Barker we’ve got Ryder replacement for Anders row on gate number two in yellow in the form of Zack cook Kyle ho in red off of gate three and off of the outside

In white is Stevie warl so here we go Nigel sponsored by prow Park it’s Heat number one start Marshall ready to get things underway here and it’ll be interesting to see how this one pans out Ben Barker of course track specialist here at the Coliseum off of gate number

One and he will be able to certainly provide some backup for Kyle howth so here we go go we Heat number one tapes up away they go and Barker does make a good start it’s very even into the turn losing out quite heavily there is Kyle ho but it’s Barker that

Leads down the back straight Kyle Ho’s managed to find his way into that third place he’s now attacking up the inside he’s going into second place a good ride there from Kyle harth in second tremendous maneuver there by Kyle harth coming underneath steep warl there to join Barker at the front that’s more

Like it from harth who would have been disappointed with his showing up at pool last week but a real Captain’s move there and Gladiators at the moment heading off to a 5-1 which would be a fantastic start to this evening’s meeting as they cross into the last lap

This is a very determined ride from Kyle howth and from Ben Barker starting off with a 5-1 they will want to set the tone they are the senior riders in this team they have got to set the tone and they’ve set it brilliantly here a 5-1 to

The Gladiators in Heat number one a tremendous result for the Gladiators yeah I’m sure fans would have been coming here with a little bit of fear and trapid but that’s just what they would have wanted in heat one at this meeting so the results of heat number

One it was a win in blue for Ben Barker three points to him two points to kyl Hoth in red one point to Stevie warl in white and no score for Zack cook in yellow that’s her 5-1 to the Gladiators so here we go with heat number two sponsored by John Parsons and

We have already got out the tapes the rider in white Kyle Newman for the Pirates he will be off of gate one here the rider in red Jake Turner for the Gladiators in Gate two in gate three is the rider in yellow Adam Ryan and off

The outside this time in blue is Ben trigger so the reserves here Nigel yes to uh former Plymouth Riders the reserves for the uh Pirates and they’ve both made cracking starts the season K Newman and Adam Ryan so this will be a a big challenge here for Jake Turner and

Ben trigger but Jake showed last week that he’s certainly getting to know this track let see what happens Here so tapes go up away they go and it’s a good start there from Jake Turner he’s made a very good start Jake turner He’s followed by both the Pirates down that back straight but it is Turner who leads it’s currently Adam ryin who’s set to chase in that second place a good

Start from Turner though fantastic what a difference to the Gladiators gating at po week first Ben Barker in that opening race and now Jake Turner and he’s opening up a little bit of the gap on the experienced Paul jro but he’s starting to really show a great liking

For this track and what a good signing he’s turning out to be from Gary May that’s got about a four five bite length here on Adam royin in second place with uh KL Newman in third well this is fantastic to see from the New Zealander he is certainly finding his strike now

Here at the Coliseum as he goes into Ben 3 four he’s about to take his first Heat win here at the Coliseum a terrific win from Jake Turner a good second place there for Adam ruin and car Newman packing the minor places and Ben trigger at the back tremendous uh Applause from

The home strike there as he crossed the finish line so a big three points there for Jake Turner it’s three points to the rider in red two points to Adam ryin in yellow one point to KL Newman in white and no score for the rider in blue Ben

Trigger it’s a three old overall and a gladiator still lead so Heat number three comes to the tape sponsored by the Phillips family exitor and we are expecting to see and we’ve got at the tapes in fact in blue Paul Stark off the inside this time off

Of gate two in white is Ben cook off of gate three is Dan jilks in red here and off of gate four off the outside is Zach cook so the uh always dangerous Cook Brothers here always dangerous because they do score an awful lot of points Nigel yes let’s hope the Gladiators can

Make it three out of three gates here two tremendous starts in the opening two races and Dan jilks and Paul Stark will be uh looking to do the same Stark had two V good wins up at Winborn Road last Wednesday after a couple of duck eggs

Early on so he’ll be looking to carry on that form here this evening but we do know these Cook Brothers they are very very quick indeed they were in tremendous form last week at wimbor Road what are they going to come up with here at the Coliseum tapes

Up away they go and off the inside there in blue Paul starky shuffles the cooks over they do look very very quick as they go down that back straight but it’s B star that leads both Zach and Ben cooker on his shoulder though and at the

Moment Dan JS is out the back yeah another great gate there this time for Paul star just taking the inside line around that first and second B Ben Cook is uh crawling all over the back of him at the moment Stark just pinning himself to that inside line and basically saying

To cook if you want to go around me you’re going to have to go around the outside of me but uh probably not enough dirt out there at this stage of the meeting for Cook to round Stark and he’s just pinning on that inside curb and uh

Just opening up a little bit of a gap though Ben c yeah sensible ride here from Paul Stark he’s fought off the opposition in the form of Ben Cook in that second place and he’s going to take another Heat win here for the Gladiators but with Dan jilks at the

Back it is a three all Zack and Ben Cook pack in the second and third places once again so the results of heat number three sponsored by the Phillips family exitor it was a win for the rider in blue Paul Stark three points to him two

Points to Ben Cook in white one point to Zack cook in yellow no score for Dan jilks in red and that’s another three all which brings us on to 11 points to7 in favor of the Gladiators so here we go with heat number four sponsored by the back street

Gang and uh we have got coming out of gate one in blue this time for the Gladiators Ben trigger off of gate number two in in yellow will be Adam ruyin gate three will be Ben Barker here for the Gladiators and off the outside Richard Lawson in white what can be done

Here Ben Barker of course has already been out and won a heat can he make it two out of two here in this heat number Four so tapes AR away they go and Richard Lawson’s made a good start off the outside Richard Lawson has blocked the Run of Ben Barker and Barker’s now having to go right round the outside of the rider in yellow Alan Ru that’s exactly what he does he gets himself

Into second but Lawson an excellent start there from the outside yeah much better gating from the pulo there Barker’s picked off royan but Lawson is setting off out the front and Barker’s got a lot of work to do to catch Richard Lawson around here he scored some big

Points for the Gladiators last season and he certainly knows the quick his way around the Coliseum opening up a big gap over Barker but Ben trigger fair play to him is closing up on Adam reuen on the back and try to take that third place

Away he’s got plenty of pace at the back but at the front Richard Lawson’s got plenty of pace here he is a rider that knows his way around the Coliseum he’s showing that here he made a great gate he stopped Ben Barker’s run and he takes

The win here in Heat number four a good win from Richard Lawson yes excellent uh piece of riding there from Lawson ahead of Barker but as I said Ben trigger can take a lot of encouragement there he was keeping very close to Adam Roy and just

Ran out of time to overtake but uh he’ll be pleased with his efforts in that one so the results of heat number four it was a win for the rider in white Richard Lawson three points to him two points to Ben Barker in red one point to Adam

Ruyin in yellow and no score for Ben trigger in blue and it’s a 4-2 in favor of the Pirates which means that we are now 13 points to 11 so here we go Heat number five coming on to the or coming to the line we’ve got in yellow Rider replacement here on

The inside Kyle Newman he’s in Gate one for the pirates for the Gladiators in Gate two in red is Dan jilks for the Pirates in White in gate number three is Stevie warl and off the outside here in blue is Paul Stark so heat five sponsored by the bits family it’s 13311

At the moment things are looking good at the moment for the Gladiators so here we go with heat number five start Marshall is ready the Riders already and tapes up away we go and it’s a good start from both the Gladiators and it’s Dan JS who’s made an absolute

Flyer Dan jilks leads around that turn Paul Stark is working hard to get himself into that second and he has indeed got himself into second but he’s under tremendous pressure from Kyle Newman oh it’s brilliant ging again from the Gladiators there the uh Dan jilks absolute flyer from uh from his gate and

Paul start following him through but as you said kle Newman is working really hard to get past star Steve W looking very out of sorts at the moment a third place in this first ride at the back at the moment but star just holding off the attentions there of Newman and second

Place all eyes here sorry all eyes are on the rider in yellow at the moment he is all over the back of Paul Stark and it’s allowed Steve warl to catch up as well but I think Paul Stark’s done enough a sensible ride from Paul Stark

It’s a 5-1 to the Gladiators and a tremendous ride from Dan jks at the front the difference in the ging tonight to wimbor last week is massive and that’s that’s proving the big difference the GL Gladiators Riders are getting out in front and the poor Pirates Riders

Just struggling to overtake them at the moment a tremendous ride from Dan jilks it is him that gets the three points three points to Dan JS in red two points to Paul Stark in blue one point to Kyle Newman in yellow no score there for

Steve warl in white and it’s a 5-1 to the Gladiators which brings us to 1812 now in favor of the home team so Heat number six coming coming up to the tapes and we have got off the inside here for the Gladiators in red Kyle Hoth off of

The uh gate number two in white is Richard Lawson we’ve got Dan jilks coming in for the rider replacement here in blue having just won that heat number five in tremendous style and off of the outside in yellow we are just waiting for Kyle Newman who is back to back here

With these races so heat 6 sponsored by cat down warolf and we are just waiting for the Riders to get themselves settled for this heat number six 1812 at the moment in favor of the Gladiators so that crucial six-point Gap can they maintain it here or will the Pirates fight back in this One so here we go Heat number six away we go and Richard Lawson once again has made a a tremendous start Dan JS is trying to go around the outside he switched up the inside they are all together coming off of Ben 2 but it is still Richard Lawson at lead Stan Jes

Has set off after him in that second Yeah Carl Howard’s got work to do here just coming hard underneath K Newman Newman almost losing it and he’s he’s clipped the fence and car Newman has gone down just trying to hang on desperately as he hit the dirt on the

Outside there but uh he’s uh ended up in a heat down the back straight and he looks like in a little bit of discomfort over there yeah horrible looking incident there you could see he was trying to wrestle the bike back under control but eventually he got dumped on

The ground unceremoniously after trying his best to go right around the outside of Kyle howth so a heavy fall for Kyle Newman but good to see he’s back up on his feet so the rerun of heat number six has come to the line and we have got off of

Gate one here we have got Kyle Hoth we have got Richard Lawson off of gate two in white for the Pirates and Dan jilks is the rider replacement here in gate three for the Gladiator and Lawson seemed to have things under control in the first running there not yeah it’s

Going to take a good ride as ah had Richard Lawson tonight I think the for looks like he’s on Dan Jil so it was another encouraging gate he wasn’t too far drift of Lawson so here we go then with the reun of heat number six taped

Up away they go Lawson’s not made such a good start this time Dan JS has forced him wide Dan JS got up the inside of him in fact it’s Kyle Hoth that leads Kyle Hoth forced Richard Lawson wide and Lawson is now fighting back so the a lot

Of racing to do here yeah that’s much better from the skipper there lovely gate there just getting underneath Richard Lawson JS as said was on the outside but Carl har bit of fresh air in front of him he’ll enjoy this so he’s got to keep eyes on the back of his head

Though Richard Lon will never gives up and he’ll be uh right down his exhaust pipe all the way to the end of this race Dan JSO keeping him honest just tracking him back in third place Richard Lawson is still trying to find a way to get

Back on terms with Kyle Howard Kyle how cannot let up here Richard Lawson is very quick in that second place Dan jilks has lost touch to them a little bit in that third but it’s a good win for Kyle howth Richard Lawson comes home second and crucially Dan jilks in that

Third so that’s a 4-2 to the Gladiators so the results of heat number six sponsored by cown wolf it was a win in red for KY how three points to him two points to Richard Lawson in white one point to Dan jilks in blue and it’s an exclusion for Kyle Newman in yellow

Which means it’s a 4-2 in favor of the gladi and that brings the score to 2214 so here we go Heat number seven sponsored by JP trophies and we have got on the inside here in white Ben cook for the pool Pirates Ben Barker in red for the Plymouth Gladiators for the pool

Pirates in yellow in gate three Zack cook and off the outside here in blue fresh from his Heat win Jake Turner so another interesting one here I wonder what Jake Turner can come up with so heat 7 here at the moment the pool Pirates are looking for some heat

Victories and they are very few and far between just Richard Lawson with that win in Heat number four at the moment and the PO Pirates are taking a little bit of a droing here it’s 2214 but heat 7even is on the line and tapes up away they go it’s a

Good start off the inside for Ben Barker it’s Barker that leads the Cook Brothers almost run into each other and that allows Jake Turner around the outside so Jake Turner Road R the outside of Ben and Zack cook and he’s now in that second place yeah the Cook Brothers as

You said rather got in each other’s way there and another 5-1 to the Gladiators here I’m sure some of the home fans are almost rubbing their eyes in disbelief or Jake Turner has just overcooked it and he’s hit the fence and he’s gone down just uh just before he reaches the

Start Finish Line he’s okay though he’s picked himself up but the red lights have come on and Jake Turner will be excluded yeah Jake turn Turner just walking back towards the pits Gary maor putting a consoling arm around him but that was another excellent uh display there from Turner but just slightly

Overcooking it on the third and fourth bz there but thankfully he’s none the worse aware and hopefully his bike’s okay as well so here we go with the rerun of heat number seven of course we won’t have Jake Turner after that fall in blue but we have got off the inside Ben Cook

In white we have got Ben Barker splitting the two for the Gladiators in red and off the uh gate three in yellow is that cook and of course the outside gate at by Jake Turner yeah I’m sure it’s going to be a very tight first band yeah it was certainly tight the

First running there and Jake Turner did a tremendous ride to see all of that going on and go around the outside of Ben and Zack cook but uh of course just didn’t quite have enough to keep hold of the thing coming out the gate of Ben

Four but here we go with heat number seven tapes up away they go Ben Cook’s made a great start Ben bar has made a great start as well and it is Ben Barker that leads Ben Cook and Zack cook are both chasing now Barker’s got both of

Them on the back of him he’s going to have to ride very very tightly here yes two Cooks on his tail the Cook Brothers kept themselves well apart there on the first and second Benz Zach is almost like pushing Ben on to Greater Heights here as he chases Ben Barker Barker just

Uh keeping his uh couple of bite lenss ahead of Ben Cook keeping that tight line trying to force Ben Cook to go around the outside of him but uh Barker just nailing this from the front at the moment with a Lap to go a solid looking

Ride here from Ben Barker he’s right on that inside line he knows where’s that Ben Cook’s going to attack him he’s not going to try and go around the outside of him so Barker’s just keeping himself on that inside blocking back Ben Cook’s run and he keeps it as a three all for

This team uh the Gladiators here against the Pirates yes a good win there it’s three points to Ben Barker in red for the Gladiators two points to Ben Cook in white one point to Zack cook in yellow no score for Jake Turner in blue and that is a three there uh which means

That we are 2517 overall in favor of the Plymouth Gladiators so Heat number eight comes to the tapes here and we’ve got lots of changes this time we’ve got Adam Ryan off of the inside in yellow he this is his programmed ride off of gate two in

Blue this time replacing Ben trigger the swap of the reserves We’ve Got Jake Turner in gate three here coming in r a replacement for Anders row we’ve got Ben Cook and off the outside ride a replacement for Richie warl we’ve got Kyle howth so lots of changes here in

Heat number eight and another interesting one here yeah let’s see how Jake Turner reacts to that accident that he had a couple of races ago here some tough opposition against him here so tapes up on heat number eight away we go and it’s close as they go to that turn

It’s a brilliant start from Kyle how Jake Turner is getting shoved about though by the PO Pirates pairing Jake Turner has been forced wide once again up on Benz three and four but out in front at the moment it is Kyle Howard yeah Turner trying all different lines

To try and close the gap on the PO jro B cook just glancing over his shoulder just checking where the Kiwi is Adam royan is uh leading the pool Duro but well out in front Carl har building on that race when he had earlier and he’s really stretching his lead here over the

PO Pirates pair Kyle harth looking very very good in this one the PO Pirates pairing in that second and third looking good Adam Ryan and Ben Cook bringing it home for another three all here and good to see Jake Turner up and confident once again

Here in this one so it is a win there for Kyle Howard and a solid win for him a three all in this one here at Heat number eight backto back wins for the Plymouth Skipper he’ll be absolutely delighted with that so the results of heat number

Eight it was a win in red for Kyle how three points to him two points to Adam ryin in yellow one. to Ben Cook in white no score for Jake Turner in blue three all which brings us to 28 points to 20 in the favor of the

Gladiators so Heat number nine comes to the line and we’ve got Richard Lawson here the only rider for the Pirates to have won a heat this evening he’s off of gate one here gate two in blue is Paul Stark he’s on a paid maximum at the

Moment so far this evening gate three in yellow we have got Kyle Newman and off of the outside in red we’ve got Dan Jil so four riders with very mixed Fortunes in this one so number nine Paul Stark on a paay maxim him at the moment in blue can he

Pop out the gate once again here so tapes up away they go Dan JS has made a good start off the outside but not as good as Richard Lawson off the inside and he’s straightened up in the middle of the turn Paul Stark’s gone through up the inside of Richard Lawson

And that’s made a space for Dan JS to come up the inside as well Richard Lawson’s up against it now yeah the smallest of Errors there and uh Stark was through straight away and he just opened up a little a little bit of a gap

For jilks to join him so 5-1 here for the Gladiators magnificent piece of racing there and uh they can hang on to this give them a 12-point margin over the Pirates Lawson hasn’t given up the ghost yet though he’s trying to catch jilks for second place as they crossed

The line for the last lap Richard Lawson is winding up there in that third place he is not going to be happy with Dan JS making his way through into that second he goes High into Ben’s three and four but I think Dan JS has got it enough it

Is a 5-1 to the Gladiators and the crowd Roar over on the back straight as well a brilliant ride from those Plymouth Gladiators yeah unbelievable for the Gladiators I said the smallest of erors some Lawson but Stark and jil’s capitalizing there both of them are riding really well tonight and

Gladiators fans in dreamwell 12 points up on the PO Pirates Who hammered them at wimborne Road last week yeah so the results of heat number nine it was a win in blue for Paul Stark three points to him and he Main attains that maximum two points to Dan jilks in

Red one point to Richard Lawson in white and no score for the rider in yellow kyl Newman so here we go with heat number 10 and we have got coming to the line this time in yellow we’ve got Zack cook off the inside for the Paul pirates for the

Plymouth Gladiators in blue is coming in as the r replacement Paul Stark currently unbeaten by an opponent off of gate three in white is Ben Cook and Kyle how fresh fromal win as well off the outside in will this terrific Plymouth Gladiators form continue so tapes up away we go it’s an

Even break but it’s p star that leads once again and coming round to join him is K howth around the outside so it is the Plymouth Gladiators one and two once again Kyle Hoth comes right around the outside and is him now that leads Paul

Stark in a great bit of Team riding yeah looking like another excellent 51 Ben Cook got totally left at the gate there it’s his brother Zach who’s putting the Press on Paul St but the way the uh the two Gladiators boys are riding tonight K’s going to have his work cut out

Trying to get past star start just again just keeping on that inside line I’m sure he’s very aware where Zach cook is Carl harth is shooting off out front to the Stark in second place so Zack cook has built up a bit of speed at the end

Of this race Paul Stark is looking vulnerable in that second place Zack cook has managed to get himself right up the back of PA Stark but catching him one thing over Takens another and he doesn’t manage to do it here it’s another 5-1 for the Gladiators so the

Results of heat 10 it was a win in red for Kyle Howard three points to him two points to Paul Stark in blue one point to Zack cook in yellow no score for Ben Cook in white it’s a 5-1 to the Gladiators and it’s 38 points to 22 in

Favor of the Plymouth Gladiators after this heat 10 so heat 11 is on the line or almost on the line we’ve got off the inside here for the Plymouth Gladiators Ben Barker in red for the Paul pirates in white when he gets round there in Gate

Two is Steve warl for the Gladiators in blue here replacing Jake Turner they’re swapping the reserves once again it is Ben trigger and off the outside in yellow tactical subtime Richard Lawson but here we go then heat number 11 is at the tapes and ready and tapes up and Ben Barker hasn’t

Gone anywhere off the line something’s gone wrong on Ben Barker’s bike which has allowed the Paul Pirates pairing to get away Ben triggers in that third place giving Chase but it is Kyle it is Richard Lawson New Leads ahead of Steve warl and this is looking straight

Forward for the Pirates yeah not sure what happened with Ben there he didn’t didn’t move at all off the start line looking very frustrated as he pushes his bike back towards the pits but the Pirates Duo out in front here Ben trigger doing his best to stay in touch

But as I said he’s up against two Premiership quality Riders here and uh Paul looking like they’re going to get a comfortable 51 here yeah this is looking comfortable for the pool Pirates a little bit of uh little bit of payback here because it has been all Gladiator so far this

Evening but this time the Tactical sub does exactly what it came in for it’s a three points hall for Richard Lawson and two points to Stevie warl so the results there of heat number 11 it was a win in yellow for Richard Lawson three points

To him two points to Steve warl in white one point to Ben trigger in blue and uh no score there for Ben Barker who suffered with the engine failure it’s a 5-1 to the Gladiators but overall it’s 39 points to 27 so we have heat 12 coming to the

Tapes here and we have got in heat 12 here we’ve got off of the inside in red Dan jilks off of gate two in yellow we have got Kyle Newman We’ve Got Jake Turner here in gate three in blue and off the outside in white for the Pirates Ben

Cook and Dan Jil who has been electric off that start several times this evening so tapes up away they go and Kyle Newman’s made a good start it’s Kyle Newman that leads Dan J is in that second he’s had to stop himself there from running into the back of car Newman

Coming around the outside there the rider in white Ben cook so the Pirates again on a 51 here yeah coming strong in the latter stages of defeating the Pirates Dan JS had to cut off completely there to avoid going into the back of the rider in front of him and he’s

Trailing at the back it’s Jake Turner who’s taken up the culs trying to chase after this Pirates J but Ben Cook well out in front caryle Newman just coming to within the grasp of uh the uh Jake Turner as they come towards the end of the third

Lap so looking very impressive here Ben Cook is absolutely hanging off the side of the machine going round Ben’s one and two he is a very quick looking Rider it’s still very close in that second third and fourth Jake Turner though hasn’t got an answer to Kyle Newman so

It’s a 5-1 to the Pirates and all of a sudden this is got bit a little bit tight with only a eight point gap here so we’ve got a win there for Ben Cook in white three points to him two points to Kyle Newman in yellow 1.2 Jake Turner in

Blue no score for Dan jilks in red 5-1 to the Pirates and it’s now 40 points to 32 to the Gladiators Paul paid Max so far looking good yeah we’re doing all right I’m quite happy with that so um yeah changed quite a lot actually coming coming into

This so yeah it’s working all right it looks like a completely different team uh same team I think just different attitude maybe it’s took us a while to get going and get set up for the track but we’re getting there and uh hopefully we can pull off the win today great

Stuff and obviously when you know you’re going well and your teammates are going well you must it must give you that extra boost of confidence yeah we there’s no pressure because everyone’s doing their bit so you know if you can’t do it all the time and everyone can just

Pick it up as well then it makes things a lot easier so that’s that’s the sort of mentality in the camp at the moment and and hopefully we can keep it that way towards the end of the meeting great stuff well Paul keeping up obviously that paid Max is looking good well yeah

I’m out again in a minute so try not to spoil it uh great Heat win couple of really good starts obviously uh bit bulked in that last one I suppose uh yeah we we on a bit of the back foot today we had an engine seiz up on warmup so we’re um

Riding our second B today so obviously first ride we were learning you know about the engine and um you know we we have to run a completely different set up to this one to that one and we didn’t realize until that first heat so it’s been a yeah big learning like tonight

Obviously I’ve never used it before so it’s uh yeah not ideal um but no you know we showed some good positives I made you know a couple of really good starts um you know just in that last one just got picked off of the start and uh

You know once you behind it’s hard to overtake tonight so but no you know it was a good night um all in all and you know we we’re starting to learn a bit more about this engine and um yeah we can take that into you know the meetings

Going forward and now of course you’ve uh well assuming you’re not in heat 15 you now get to watch and hopefully see the Gladiators bring it home yeah exactly it’s uh you know we haven’t really started off too well um but we’re you know we’re fing our feet now

Obviously we’re missing missing Richie which is you know another big Rider so to you know to hopefully pull a win tonight will be you know will be great and obviously having you know knowing that we’re having Richie back will uh you know will be Mega so no like I said

It was a good night um yeah we learned a lot about the bike so yeah we can take that going forward now great stuff well thanks Dan thanks for your time very well done for tonight so heat 13 and sponsored by Southwest tire recycling we have got a

Very big heat 13 here coming off of gate one in white we have got Steve warl for the pool pirates for the Gladiators in red we’ve got Kyle Hoth for the Pirates in yellow we’ve got Richard Lawson and for the Gladiators off the outside this time Ben Barker very important here this

Really could turn the tide for the Pirates if they can overcome the Gladiators pairing here they have already got those two 51s in the previous two races as I said it’s 4032 there’s only eight points in it and we have been speculating during the break a

Couple of 51s here and we are completely up for a last Heat decider Anything could happen but I do think this heat 13 is a very very important heat indeed oh here we go so tapes up away they go and it’s the PO pairing that get away it’s Richard la

Who leads and up the inside coming up the inside is very close on the back straight but up the inside there Steve warl joining his teammate and going round the boards is Ben Barker that really was spectacular from Ben Barker yeah W shot the nose off Carl harth

Going down the back straight that for Barker wide and he almost used the fence to uh race around Tony Rickards and St there but the Pirates at the moment heading for third successive 51 and Barker has got it all to do to try and catch Steve WL who’s second place with

Richard Lawson way out in front this really is tremendous seems here at the Coliseum for the whole meeting it has been the Plymouth Gladiators absolutely annihilating the Pirates and now we’re on for a third 5-1 in succession from the pool Pirates a tremendous ride from Richie Richard Lawson brilliantly backed

Up by his teammate Steve warl I’d love to know what Neil middleditch the PO team manager said to his team after he 10 because they’ looked a totally different side since then they suffered two successive 51s and they followed up up with three 51s of their own and

They’re right back in this with two races to go they certainly are and uh there we see the pool pairing it is a win in yellow for Richard Lawson three points to him two points to Steve warl in white one point to Ben Barker in blue

No score for Kyle howth for the first time this evening in red it’s a 5-1 to the Pirates and it’s now 41 points to 37 and that Gap is narrowing so heat 14 and we’ve got a little bit of drama here we’re just keeping an eye on what’s going on here I

Think that one of the Riders has got the wrong helmet color on it looks like it’s B Stark indeed they are changing his helmet color as we speak I should say Ben Barker is changing his helmet color as we speak so off of gate one here

We’ve got Jake Turner who is in Blue Gate two is Zack cook in White gate three is Paul Stark in red who is now in red and off the outside in yellow is Adam Ryan 41 points to 37 at the moment yeah Paul will have choice of gates in

Heat 15 as well so it’s uh it’s important that Gladiators got a a heat Advantage here if they can so a crucial heat 14 here for both sides tapes go up away they go and Kyle Newman’s made a good start off the outside Jake Turner’s Fallen going into

The first turn they’ve all missed him he gets himself up getting himself into that second place is Paul Stark and he’s now going to chase Kyle Newan yeah it’s uh beating here as uh with zck cook at the back Paul Stark made a terrible gate from gate three was

Just left at the traps there then Jake Turner fell off in front of him that well the hord’s cook Zack cook at the back but Stark is the uh the meat in the pool sandwich at the moment and Pa looking likely to cut the death it by

Further two points here so kyl Newman riding well here he’s coming in place of Adam Ryan in this final ride one that we didn’t pick up pre-race he’s doing a brilliant right here he’s right in front he’s holding Paul Stark at Bay it’s a 4-2 to the Pirates and that really does

Make things very very interesting going into heat 15 it certainly does just a two-point Gap now you would think warl and Lawson will be out in heat 15 but uh well the the Pirates followed up 351s with with the 4-2 and Jake Turner Faller there on the on the first Bend so the

Results of heat 14 it was a win in yellow for Kyle Newman three points to him two points to Paul Stark in red one point to Zack cook in white no score for Jake Turner the Faller in blue it’s 42 to the Pirates which means it’s now 43

Points to 41 and this is looking very interesting going into this final heat so heat 15 and we are nicely poised here 4341 the Riders are coming to the line for heat 15 and off the inside in white here for the Paul Pirates we’ve got

Steve warl off of gate two in red we have got for the Gladiators Ben Barker off of gate three for the Pirates is Richard Lawson in yellow and off the outside in blue Kyle howth for the Gladiators cut the tension with a Knife so tapes up away we go and it’s an even break but Richard Lawson forces his way through it’s very close Parker’s been knocked off his machine there and it got very close indeed Steve warl and Ben Barker got tangled up in the middle

Of the turn the red lights are on so Ben is up and uh hopefully ready to take his place in this rerun it was a bit of a heavy tumble for Ben he did roll quite a lot but uh good to see Ben back up and about and I’m sure he’ll be in

Determined mood in this rerun of heat 15 so Neil middleditch obviously not happy at all with the decision that’s been taken by referee Christina tul and uh he’s currently speaking with the Clark of the course in the center of the circuit but uh yeah middle ditch looking

Rattled here obviously that is a crucial decision that’s been made there yeah there must be a problem with the pit foam as he’s having to use the uh the phone down by the Starting Gate getting very frustrated that he’s had to wait this long to speak to the referee but uh

Well he can give us opinion but as we know in these circumstances it’s referees never changed their mind certainly from the position that we saw it from it was probably just about the right call so heat 15 the rerun here controversial ending to this very exciting uh meeting this evening so once

Again we have got nobody off of the inside here Steve warl being excluded as the cause of the stoppage so in Gate two in red four the Gladiators is Ben Barker uh in gate three in yellow is Richard Lawson and gate four in blue is Kyle howth and of course it’s uh that’s

Handed the victory to the Gladiators so here we go with heat 15 and tapes up away they go Richard Lawson once again tremendous off the start Kyle harth has gone chasing the dirt Ben Barker straightened up in the middle of the turn now Ben Barker gets going in in

That third but it’s Richard Lawson that leads here and he’s looking comfortable out front yeah for one horrible moment I thought Ben Barker was going to collect Kyle harth there as he straightened up in that turn but uh managed to keep control of the bike he’s well at the

Back but harth is in Hot Pursuit Of Lawson at the front and he’s had a a good evening Kyle Howard apart from that one last place he’ left to finish it off with another race win over Lawson who’s just a couple of bite lengths ahead of

Him as they cross into the uh the final lap of the evening so Richard Lawson he has been very very quick all evening Kyle howth at the moment hasn’t got an answer to him he is near to him but he’s got no answer to him Richard Lawson’s going to

Top his night off with a win here in heat 15 but it’s not going to be enough to clinch a victory for the Pirates well that’s the Gladiators first win of the Season Richard Lawson winning that last race but the Gladiators just hanging on to their lead to claim their

First win of the season to gain a little bit of Revenge for their big defeat up at wimbor Road last Wednesday night so the results of heat 15 it was a win in yellow for Richard Lawson three points to him two points to to Kyle Hoth in

Blue one point to Ben Barker in red no score for Steve warl in white which means it was a three all uh and that leaves us as a final score of 46 points to the Gladiators 44 to the Pirates and as Nigel said a nice home victory for

The pouth Gladiators over to the pirates with our top scorer regular guest here last season Richard Lawson with 15 then we’ve got uh Ben cook with 8 plus one Kyle Newman 7 plus2 Stevie WL 5 plus2 Zack cook 4 plus two and Adam royan five Gladiators haven’t got the truck tonight

So they’re walking around taking their plaits of the the crowd just walking in front of the main stand some good solid scoring from Plymouth tonight with uh led by their Skipper KL howth a magnificent night for him 13 plus one Paul Stark also a great evening 12 plus

2 Ben Barker 10 plus one and Dan jilks will be pretty happy with his 6 plus one as well Jake Turner he picked up four four points and Ben trigger got one we’ll now cross over to Gareth who’s got some reaction from the winning Gladiators

Riders so Paul Stark uh it was a narrow victory in the end a little bit uh little bit of squeaky bum time at the end yeah it was close you know we nearly throw it away uh two 51s against us um but I you know we had enough of a

Cushion that we could allow that to happen so it was close but we got there in the end a great night for yourself obviously we caught up with you earlier but uh yeah it was on for a paid Max at one point until you jinx me

No yeah it was good you know um just that last Heat I think Jake slid off and I just had to go around him so it sort of I had the second but um yeah we we did the business tonight and um Paul have got their undefeated record broken

There and uh we’re happy that we’ve done that yeah brilliant and obviously this is the third match for the Gladiators and all the time everybody’s been saying it’s only our first only our second and uh yeah the proof’s been in the budded really like what you’ve said is true

Well we’re getting there you know I think we’re getting starting to get died in I’m getting a bit more dialed in as well so made a few changes it works um yeah just hopefully all the boys can continue this form and Richard be back

And uh you know that will that will be a big help as well so yeah great result I don’t know how much you’ve seen of uh other riders in the team but obviously Jake Turner is uh it could go either way I think we might have to step back a

Little bit here before we get run over but uh Jake Turner obviously down at Reserve he had that Heat win and uh once you know that your reserves are firing it’s uh yeah the rest of you can get on with your jobs like Jake’s good but you know

He’s just he’s used to the big track so he’s coming into the corners too fast and stuff like that but as soon as he gets dialed in you know he’s had that win as soon as he gets dialed in he’s going to be uh he’s going to be hard to

Beat around here so um yeah it should be good I’m you know I’m trying to help him as much as possible so the rest of the boys as well and it’s good to see you know he’s got the fire in his belly and uh yeah it’s good for him to get that

Heat win great stuff Paul well well done for tonight and obviously uh that’s uh really exciting for the rest of the year thanks man cheers thank You A
