Somerset Rebels raced to a 57-34 victory over Berwick to take second place in the Premier League.

THE Somerset duo of Jason Doyle and Josh Grajczonek both scored maximums as the Rebels raced to a 57-34 victory over Berwick to secure second place in the Premier League.

There was also an inspired home debut by Charles Wright, who scored a paid 13 for his new club as they closed to within a point of Ipswich at the top.

Overall, it was another fine all-round performance by the Rebels, with four riders returning double figures – Doyle (15), Grajczonek (13+2), Alex Davies (12) and 10+3 from Wright.

Tomorrow night (Fri), the Rebels host current league leaders the Ipswich Witches at the Oaktree Arena.

The dates have been arranged for Somerset’s knockout cup semi-final replay against Edinburgh. The first leg will be at home on September 18, with the decider taking place at Edinburgh on September 20.
