gusworld Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Should be a big win for the Rebels. The Tigers in past seasons have done well at the OTA but have assembled a 'mediocre' team this season without much firepower. However hope there is some good racing.

oldtimer Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Surprised Joe Haines is riding, thought he was injured? Don't agree Tigers are a mediocre team, thet have some good riders and cannot understand why they have not done better. Sheffield usually do well at Oak Tree as both fast full throttle tracks. Not vital for Rebels to get all 3 points as play off position is safe, I think it will be a close match and hopefully some dirt on the track this week. Ez usually does a good job.

idh Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Somerset v Sheffield Photo's http://ihitchcock.ze...set_v_sheffield Slideshow http://ihitchcock.ze...field/slideshow Nice to touch base with Denis (Denis99); Great to see old memories stirred when he got to see the old Wasp's water bowser (still in its original colours) and the old Wasp's tractor. Great performace from all the Rebels especially Alex's paid Max Edited September 8, 2012 by idh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusworld Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 As predicted the toothless Tigers were completely mauled. Great to see Alex step up just in time for the play offs. Some good racing despite the one sided scoreline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Thanks to Ez and his team track back to it's best this week, and as often happens the scoreline did not reflect the quality of the racing, passing inside and out, and that line from the second bend along the back straight fence was back and often used by Rebels. Alex on fire and the fastest I have ever seen him, lightening starts and well clear in most races, awarded rider of the night in front of his dad. Highlights were Jesper's passing efforts from the back and James passing the two Sheffield riders from 15 metres, unfortunately Kyle suffering from ignition problems. I thought the Tigers would have performed better especially as they had just had a good win against Newcastle. Josef Franc particularly poor and strange decision to do your first tactical in a race which included Doyle. Only Skidmore and Haines deserved any credit, great to see Joe in such good form after all his career injuries. Brent Werner interviewed in the bar by the mad Aussie, and fortunately not making another come back. Had the burger and chips as pastie still crossed out on menu board, however when I asked are pastie's coming back? the reply was, "we have them", I replied you won't sell many if it's crossed off the menu. very strange?
