I gave it a miss tonight... Didn't fancy the bus, two tubes and a train to get there and the same on the return journey.

According to BSPA site:

 

Rye House 48 - Kyle Hughes 14

Buxton 41 - Adam Allott 11

[arnieg]

Exhausting - 8 reruns and 4 races awarded

 

Rye 48

 

Hughes 14, Owen 11+1, Hart (G) 8+1, Morley 7+2. Hazelden 4+1, Strudwick 3+2, Stokes (no8) 1

 

Buxton 41

 

Allott 11, Branford 8+2, Morris 6+1, Andersen (G) 6, Widman 5, Garrity 4+1, Andrews 1

 

Should have been an easy win on paper for the Cobras, but never more than 3 points in it until Cobras got a 5-1 in ht 13. A drawn heat in the next one sealed the win for the Cobras and Hughes's win in the last heat (after Hart fell) gave them the third match point.

 

Allott (ht 9), Hughes (ht 11) and Brandford (ht 12) all won races from the back.

 

Hughes dropped a single point to Allott, Owen looked sharpe.

 

Allott shone, while the three Aussies were all a bit unstable and inconsistent. Garrity had an eventful night including two falls, a tape and a two minute exclusion.

Another valiant effort by the depleted Hitmen tonight. If only they could have kept Charles Wright, the league table could be looking very different tonight. Could someone please let me know the first names of the riders named Widman and Andrews who rode tonight so I can update the stats on the Buxton Facebook page. Thanks. :-)

Chris Widman and Marc Andrews who both stepped into the gap created by this weeks events - thanks guys.

So Chopper never got to have a skid? Good to see you didn't have to scrape the barrel!

[whippy]

nice to see Chris Widman getting among the points.

And can confirm he was very much on the pace and getting stuck in.

Also mucking in around the pits, a pleasure to have in the team.

What a super match and a credit tto the National league, young riders enjoying themselves and providing some great entertainment, plenty of passing and pleanty of incidents. Well done both teams for a thoroughly entertaining match.

Owen, Morley, Hazelen, Garrity, Morris and Branford's efforts were excellent and Allotts swoop round Lee was also worth a mention.

The DVD with more replays than I can ever remember having to edit, is now ready from T2TV or can be collected at the track next Saturday.

The track was a bit grippy to start with ,causing problems for some,,but.settled down to provide some good racng.The Buxton team always give it a real go even though they were without a couple of riders.. The match could have gone either way and along with the do or die riding of Jason Garrity provided great entertainment..Marc Owen continues to improve at a fast rate..Kyle Hughes had one of his best meetings for the Cobras bringing home the bacon in heat 15..Ben Morley after falling when in front in his first went on to register a solid paid 9..Shane Hazelden after looping the loop in his first ride finished the meeting strongly with paid 5.Lee strudwick had to withdraw from the meeting after a fall in his 3rd ride(nothing to serious and hopes to make a quick return to racing)..guest Jerran Hart scoered 8+1 after a couple of falls..No 8 Tom Stokes rode well in his one R/R ride ...Allot was the stand out rider for Buxton with Robert Branford not far behind,, but both teams were a credit to the meeting..

In case you were wondering where I disappeared to, Arnie - got a call from an anxious work colleague concerned that a riot was about to happen on the mean streets of Bow... As you've read nothing about it in the papers you can tell that my reassuring presence hot-foot from dusty Hoddesdon brought peace and good-will! Glad to hear the heats I missed were equally as eventful as the first half of the meeting; and well to the Hitmen for keeping it so close!!

Sorry to hear that Jane why is a good side like Buxton allowed to be decimated like this its not right...

 

It's because big men with money decide they stand no chance of beating such a team unless they can put a wedge in the Buxton Team..... one rule stands for all, funny how rules just appear when convenient. Jealousy is the route of all evil. lol. I wish Buxton well and heres hoping they go onto many more wins and prove alot of random people wrong!!

Hello

 

I'm looking for detailed riders points and heat results to put in my website. Can anyone help me?

 

Thanks

Ok to put it into another context just so you understand me> Men with power within the sport (not literal) who dig up amusing rules which in this case seemed unfair and convenient so to gain a win. (Understand?)
