Joe Thurley Trophy


Recommended Posts

Jeez, i;m sure the other clubs are fighting over his signature!! Do they not study riders results before inviting them? I follow the results online and in the Star and had never heard of him before, there must be a reason for why he never rides in his homeland! They were talking as though they'd scooped a top rider like Pawlicki or Dudek, just makes them look foolish and means no one will trust such further tripe hype in future.

I think this meeting was one of the best meetings Ive seen at Perry Barr this season, some quite brilliant racing at times. I surpose its no surprise when we have the likes likes of Clews, Kerr and Bunyan in the line up. Well done to Mark Lemon, apart from his slow start where he started with 2 third places he was awesome after that with 4 straight wins. If Tomasz Piszcz isnt back next wednesday its certaintly no disadvantage having a rider like Lemon guesting for us.

 

Lyons was the best rider during heat phase but let it slip in the final and was unable to catch lemon. Very impressed with Jay Herne he looked so determend to do well, his dad did ride under Joe afterall so he wanted to make a statement. Good to welcome such a popular rider in Paul Clews back, really popular rider at PB and good to see him go well once again. Thought Ricky Wells looked fairly good as did Richard Sweetman who I thought was very unlucky not to get into the final. Bunyan was a lucky to get away without seriously injury after his nasty tumble , proably the most entertaining rider on show. Such a shame about Birko had a terrible time with his machinary, bike trouble seemed to plague Gather cole aswell. He was quite disapointing. As was Rusty which is a worry for the Play offs, hopefully just an off night.

 

Now we come on to THAT performance by Tomasz Michnicki, christ almighty he was bad. I actually feel sorry for him as he was thrown into a meeting with speedway riders that are much better then him so it must have been hard for him to be totally out classed like that. Whoever told Drury hes one for the future needs some serious help, im still gobsmacked he was THAT bad.

 

We were very lucky to get it completed as the final didnt start till 9.56pm with a 10pm curfew, but all in all a super meeting in memory of a super man.
