FOUR-MAN Somerset still collected a remarkable away point at Rye House thanks to a Heat 15 5-1 from Jason Doyle and Nick Morris.Already using rider-replacement for Alex Davies after his Friday crash, the Rebels lost both reserves in an horrific Heat 2 pile-up which saw Tom Perry and Lewis Rose taken to hospital. Perry has escaped with bruising and tissue damage to his shoulder, but Rose suffered a possible fractured hip.The Rockets 50-44 win was their first of the campaign in the Premier League, with top-scorer Anders Mellgren (11) now confirmed as a Rockets asset.Somerset boss Garry May said: Despite going down to just four riders and having to ride something like half the meeting with just one rider out for us, I knew my boys were really determined and that we had the heat-leader trio that could not only hang on in there for us, but possibly give us the chance of getting something from the meeting.
