O’Shea, O’Shea, O’Shea is the cry on the streets of Tunstall after Dmitrij O’Shea completed a hattrick of wins. He didn’t have it all his own way though as he was beaten by Dave Hemus and John Honey in his first two rides. He then had a strong finish to the meeting with 3 fine wins to finish on 13 points. He was joined on this score by Honey who had his best meeting to date also recording three wins. The run-off was a bit of an anti-climax as O’Shea shot from the tapes to lead unchallenged all the way to the chequered flag. Making up the podium places was Brain Broadbank who again looked in good form for 11 points which sees him well on course for a semi-final place. Another rider, like Honey, having by far his best meeting was fourth placed Matt Coombes. He had two fine wins in his 10 point total and looked a lot more confident than he has so far. Three other riders with two wins apiece filled the next three places those being Alex Golden, Craig Leonard and Hemus. Hemus may well have scored more but for a fall in heat 12 when in second place. Kyle Atkinson rode well for his 7 points and behind him were riders who were proving to be a little inconsistent over the meeting. O’Shea now heads the overall standings and his previous two years’ experience at this level is beginning to show. Broadbank is showing a lot more consistency this season and is joined by Leonard as other North Midlands riders in the top 10 at the moment.
