Rockets Sign Off In Style
Newport Wasps 43 Rye House Rockets 51
A paid maximum from Edward Kennett helped the Rockets end their Premier League campaign in style by taking the bonus point from Newport. Guest Daniel Giffard in for the injured Adam Roynon also took his opportunity to shine scoring 12+3. The only black spot was an injury to Tommy Allen which forced him to withdraw after his first ride. The Rockets will now go into the play offs full of confidence fans receiving a further boost by the news that Stuart Robson won two races on his competitive comeback after being drafted in as a late replacement in Andy Smiths testimonial meeting at Belle Vue.
