Very entertaining meeting against the Tigers with all the ingredients that can make speedway such a great sport worthy of a much bigger audience. No lack of effort by any rider from either team . Harris tried his nuts off but just couldn't find a win against a very resolute home side . Richie Worrall had a couple of great scraps with Rene Bach with honours even. Claus was solid again, nearly had Ty Proctor tasting the paint on the fence in heat 15 in a very hard move which resulted in handbags after the race. Starky kept plugging away, was also on the end of a hard racing move by Nicolai in heat 7 and expressed his displeasure after the race.. Was also involved in the first half point score i've ever entered on a speedway programme in heat 11 after hunting down Mason over the four laps, we actually thought he nicked it on the line. James Sarjeant again won the reserves race after Mason was just spinning up off the line and unable to reel him in. For the Comets the boys were solid throughout but it was the performance of Rene on a reportedly new engine that gave most satisfaction, he will be much happier with that i'm sure. It was good to see Ty return with no obvious ill effects and 3 good wins to boot. He wasn't happy with the referee in heat 5 when it looked as though the Tigers pair got a flier and he ended up biting the dust on turns 3 & 4 playing catch up. The home 5-1 and two 4-2's in heats 8 through 10 turned a 2 point deficit into a 6 point lead which the Comets never relinquished. It will be great to see the full seven back in action and disappointing Nicolai and Rene won't be available for the Fours. Thanks to all the Tigers fans who made the journey, must have been very disappointing to not get something from the meeting.

Would never describe the Tigers performances at Derwent Park as half arsed Gazc. Usually close and entertaining, always feel you guys are gonna get something. One of the most attractive fixtures on the calendar for me !

Hardly 8 from 5 in a 29-61 home reversal.

Either your post's re payment of riders are mischief or there is some truth in what you post. Either way what are you gaining by broadcasting such unsubstantiated hearsay on here ?. If you analyse the logic , riders protesting by deliberately not scoring points will not increase any potential monies they may or may not be owed so is therefore not in the interest of rider, club or crowd levels. Either substantiate what you are circulating or leave it alone.The paucity of home fixtures has been been detrimental to the Comets and further evidence of how speedway repeatedly shoots itself and member clubs in the foot.
