Meeting abandoned at Berwick after Hume crash
Stellar Monarchs went down 37-35 at Berwick Bandits in the Cab Direct Championship, but the meeting was abandoned after a crash in Heat 12 involving home captain Danyon Hume.
It resulted in a lengthy delay and the curfew curtain fell so the meeting was abandoned. The result stands.
Monarchs came from behind to level as the teams headed into what would become the final heat. A re-run was required after Hume (pictured) was warned for an unsatisfactory start.
In the re-start, Bandits reserve Jack Smith was away best with Justin Sedgmen behind and Jonatan Grahn doing battle with Hume for third.
Grahn caught some grip on the final bend, coming down and leaving Hume with nowhere to go but into Grahn's bike.
The race was awarded a home 4-2 and Monarchs captain Paco Castagna said: 'We pulled back the gap and, once the track settled down, we all drilled in and scored the points, so I was happy to see that.
'If we finished the meeting we may have won, but it was a very bad crash and that takes priority.'
Bandits await news of Hume's injuries.
Berwick 37 : Hagon 6+1, Hume 8+1, Kemp 8+1, Kildemand 8, Wood 2+1, Smith 5
Stellar Monarchs 35 : Palovaara 3+1, Thomson 7+1, Sedgmen 8+1, Castagna 5+1, Palm Toft 4, Grahn 8+1, Loftus 0
