Unusually careless of me lol.

This could be a banana skin here, the cats picked up 6 good points Tuesday and will be gagging for revenge after the Rebs turned them over the other day. Brady's position in the team makes r/r quite risky IMO. Hopefully Pontus and the reserves can come up with the goods. For the Cats Bjerre and Ostergaard can be a bit hit and miss, and Drymel did quite well earlier on in the season at the OTA and Roynon is a Pairs winner a couple of seasons ago. I think the Rebs will win but I'm not expecting another hammering for the opposition.

Fantastic effort put in by 6 man rebels today, especially Ollie and Nick

Still think this will be close, wrighty and Pontus will be busy today. I think we can outpace them at reserve. I'm guessing r/r will be at 2.

Ha ha ditto us at Ippo.

Big blow for the Rebs to lose Brady,he has been a breath of fresh air in the Prem this year.

JBM True, I'm wondering if you would have made 30 if Olly and Brady had completed their rides.

We have all 5 that won the 4`s.

I said I was not sure about Paul and Pontus,just a single point for young Brady as the Rebs go down by 55-39, once again not sure but is that their closest result this season at home.Great stuff from Nick Morris again.

Brady definitely and maybe Pontus and Paul have never even seen Armadale so a tough baptism for them I feel.

Can't see us getting much out of this one,the Monarchs are almost as formidable at home as us. I think it would be a bit silly if the lads are chasing a lost cause and pick up unnecessary injuries. Our home form will get us in the play offs,that is the time to pull out all the stops. In saying that though I expect us to be competitive tonight and give Edinburgh a good match.

Yeah maybe,but it was a massive shout by Gary to give the black and white to Charlie who at that point had not beaten a home rider,and also backed up by Paul who also had not even got a point. Then in heats 9 and 10 Rye tracked their two best pairings who failed to deliver which enabled the Rebels to get their noses in front. Shadders was going on about "rolling" starts, but Mellgren did the same in heat 7 which gave him his only heat win,and I think supporters on both sides were of the opinion that Boxall should have gone in heat 12 for clearing out Brady and Bunyard when Todd beat him to the first corner.In the rerun Todd demolished the tapes and a potential 1-5 turned into a 3-3 as Brady was clearly a bit second hand after that. However a very entertaining match with Kennett the outstanding rider on the night, his battles with Brady and Nick Morris bought supporters from both sides to their feet. Somerset started very slowly but as the meeting wore on they slowly got back into it. Heat 15 was blindingly good especially when Morris who was holding of a hard charging Kennett nearly binned it coming off bend 4 but just managed to stay on and get 2nd and clnch the match. As always great banter with Shadders and his good lady and Sid ( hope your leg gets better ) and all the the travelling Rebels , Ian,Dave and Bernard. I have a busy Sept and Oct but will endeavor to get down to the OTA for one of the play offs.

Just a quick word on the tac in heat 8, at the end of the day I think Somerset would still have won 46-44 without the extra 3 points. I do agree that it is a stupid rule and we should go back to bringing in a tac sub as they continue to do in Sweden.

I may be right off track here but maybe nobody wanted the booking.

Somerset get stick for being quite strong in their team selection and replacing riders who are under performing. Len is very loyal to his riders through thick and thin but it don`t win you matches. I think picking another off form old favourite in Kennett put them on the back foot before a wheel had been turned. Bunyard, Garrity Bowen and especially Boxall all seasoned "Rye Guys" and all poor especially away from home. Where are the Kings, Sundstums, Woffindens that regularly used to grace the Rye teams just a few years ago.Match ups between Rye and Somerset used to be real tear ups. not one sided slaughters.

Feel a bit sorry for you mate, a long way to go for that. I going to try and get down for one of the play off matches, later on if I can. I`ll see you tomorrow and hopefully it`s a better match who ever wins. PS It`s pissing down here.

Can you blame them, the Rebels are rather quite good this season at home.As Robbo said "It`s better riding with the Rebels than against them at the OTA".

Catch up with you Saturday Shadders.

Nice early start for this one as the newly crowned 4`s Champs take on the Rockets. It should be a comfortable win for Somerset as their home form this year is probably better than last seasons incredible form. Nice to see that Nick has sorted out his mechanical gremlins that have been hampering his scoring lately,and also that Olly and Pontus appear to be over their respective injuries.The ace in the pack this year must be the rise and rise of Charles Wright who just gets better and better and has been a solid second string home and away. The Rockets are not having the best of times at the moment but hopefully their new look line up with Anders Mellgren ,an old friend of ours, can put on a good show. Safe journey down to all supporters who going , I`ll be at the starting gate on Saturday with the travelling Rebels for the reverse fixture.

Lol not enough race wins because you were not good enough on the day, bit like the Pairs really when you were also not the best team,but scraped in ,if that had been decided on points won, we would have bagged that as well, still never mind. Really looking forward to our matches with you lot soon, should be crackers.

Well done Somerset, great performance,makes up for being the best Pair and not winning on the night. That's two trophies in the clubhouse so far this season.

Thanks for that RH92 great stuff

Not sure if you were at this seasons Pairs meeting, the Rebels were better than Jason and josh last year IMO, no last places until Nick came off gifting it to the Monarchs. Not sure if Cook would have made that much of a difference, quite a lot of passing on a very quick OTA strip.

More like nicking tbh.I thought we had a better chance of winning the 4's last season than the Pairs, still you can't beat bad luck can you DB lol.

If that is true will Olly miss the fours on Sunday. Bad news for the Rebels if so specially as we lost Doyle last season,which I think probably cost us the title,no disrespect to Kyle Newman or the Monarchs.
