Two former Moto X rivals and Workington Comets team mates shone in a Cab Direct Championship fixture last night.
Champions Poole extended their lead at the top of the current table to five points with a 55-35 home win over Berwick.
Richard Lawson completed a 13+2 paid maximum for the Pirates to lead the West Cumbrian tally while ex-Comets skipper Craig Cook top-scored for the Bandits with 10+1.
Poole skipper Zach Cook (13+1) dropped just one point from five rides in a comfortable victory.
The hosts had Darryl Ritchings withdrawn after a Heat 2 crash, but they took control of the meeting with a hat-trick of 5-1’s from Heats 5 to 7.
Along with Craig Cook, the Bandits other two race wins came from Sam Hagon and captain Danyon Hume.
Berwick manager Stewart Dickson said: “I cannot fault the effort from the boys, but we are just not strong enough to challenge the top teams in the league at the moment.”
