Stiltonpanther Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Just got home from the showground. A good crowd for Ryan's testimonial and a super line up of riders. It was a four team tournament which was won by the Panthers quite comprehensively. The individual was one by Jesper who seems to be improving every meeting. NKI also showed some good speed today. Of the non Panthers riders then Bjarne Pedersen was the best. An enjoyable day for everyone with plenty of entertainment and the weather managed to hold off although it turned cold in the latter stages.

panthersfan Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Just got home. and. WOW. Awesome meeting, and if only shovlar was there to see it, the panthers were blistering, and the "pirates" were just not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liontamer Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Just got back. A very enjoyable day, although it's a pity it was too cold for my testicles to join me. Made a complete dog's breakfast of my programme & gave up in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 well shooting star and me thought it a very enjoyable afternoon (albeit rather chilly when the sun wasn't out) and very good value for money. there was some good racing, mostly from P'boro riders once they'd missed the gate, and the race of the day had to be Jensen's last to first in the final ... fantastic ride. presentation was well done, and despite the rain coming down on a couple of occasions it seemed to go very smoothly. Glad for Sullivan that the meeting went ahead, and i hope he had a really good day to remember. will have some pictures online soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
