So a 6 point deficit for Poole to make up. Time for another 60 point home win methinks.
Hopefully Lewi and Slater are fit enough to race and Cooper and Rocketman can get their machinery sorted.
Poole have said they are 'hopeful' that Slater is fit to return for the 2nd leg! Personally, if the badly-gashed hand is bad enough to keep him out tonight then I can't see it improving sufficiently for him to be fit tomorrow?! But we'll see..........
So no dust or slick track but a wet, heavy track leading to crashes and processional riding. Match abandoned at 33-39. Monarchs unbeaten home record goes up in smoke too.
So both teams at full strength with no guests. Whats the weather forecast locally?
Poole Co-Promoter Danny Ford calling for a professional performance from the Pirates, so I guess the initial target will be 34 points by heat 10.
Lets hope BSN have sorted their issues from last night........!!
