Rocket Power Sinks Travel Sick Islanders
Rye House Rockets 66 Isle of Wight 26
A maximum from skipper Chris Neath was the highlight as the Rockets cruised into the second round of the KO Cup. With a 12 point deficit to overcome after Tuesday's first leg the Rockets expected a stiff challenge but with the Islanders looking decidedly travel sick it never materialised. A maximum from Edward Kennett and Tommy Allen in Heat 5 leveled the aggregate scores allowing Rye House to turn on the power. Both Neath and Kennett were unbeaten by an opponent although the biggest cheeer of the night was reserved for No8 Danny Betson who recorded a heat win in his first ever race at Premier League level. The Rockets now face either Berwick or Kings Lynn in the next round.
