3rd Match at Perth | |||||||||||
Following two drawn matches, Perth promoter (and tour organiser) J Colebatch decided that if this | |||||||||||
match was tied after 9 heats, then a tie-breaker would be held between a nominated rider from each | |||||||||||
country. Also, in order to try and give better racing, the "classic" Test Match race formula was dropped, | |||||||||||
in order to stage heats between riders of more equal ability. Without a fixed race formula, and with only | |||||||||||
3 finishers per heat being reported, it has not been possible to work out "assumed" last places or the | |||||||||||
identity of the England reserves. In one race, England's Sweet went onto, AND across, the centre green, | |||||||||||
and then rejoined the race - since he didn't improve his position, he was not excluded by officials. This | |||||||||||
rather sums up this match - it was a shambles! | |||||||||||
Amendment 26.09.07 :
Tom Marriott now has a programme of this match with results filled in
(!). This has enabled me to add the 4th place finishers. However, the
programme shows: Heat 4 - Clarke (not Murphy) 2nd for England; Heat 8 -
Hopkins (not Schiller) winner, with Clarke (not Preston) 4th; and there
is no mention at all of the Tie Break race, so the final score is given
as 26-26. If the programme is correct it would mean that Schiller,
Murphy, and Preston never rode at all in this match. Makes things a whole lot clearer, dosen't it ??!! |
