This encounter was just a tad one-sided, as the Islanders ran out ultra-comfortable winners against a lacklustre Newcastle team (68:22).
As you'd imagine, all the Islanders were points-hogs tonight, but only Paul Fry (14+1 from 5 rides) and - somewhat surprisingly - Andrew Bargh (10+2) managed maximums. Jason Bunyan might've joined them, but his engine didn't last the distance in Ht 15.
For Newcastle only Jason King emerges with any sort of credit, scoring 11 from 6 rides, which is exactly half of Newcastle's pathetic total.

Their first meeting in their newly renamed stadium. From their press release: We are absolutely delighted to announce that, in a groundbreaking sponsorship tie up with leading South Coast radio station Wave 105, our stadium here at the home of the Wightlink Islanders has been re-named and will be now known as The Wave 105 Smallbrook Stadium.

They join our very good friends Wightlink Car Ferries as the club's major sponsors and we look forward to an equally long and mutually beneficial relationship with Wave 105.
Speaking of the deal, our club chairman Mike Bellman said, "We are absolutely overjoyed to have finalised this tie up with Wave 105fm and look forward to a long and successful tie up with them which I feel sure will be of mutual benefit as has our long and healthy relationship with Wightlink.

It's a great set up they have down on the Island and truly a club that wouldn't be there without the fans additional financial input.
Wave is quite a big and one of the better independant radio stations in the south, this tie up is great news for the club.
Back to tonights meeting - another terrible display from the Diamonds apart from King, wtf is going on with Stancl?
