Long hard season for Stoke I'm afraid To be honest mate, you aint gonna be the only Team to take a Ommering down on the Island, dont know how young Ellis has done, but he is without a doubt, the best reserve in the League, and capable of beating ANY rider in this League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's having strong reserves that can make huge differences at this level - it was the same for us 2 years ago, when we had Sarge and Readey down at reserve. Barring any injuries, IOW look unstoppable atm, but it's a long season, and things have a habit of unravelling in the play-offs - and the best team of the year don't always win - like it did for us 2 years ago and Dudley last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 It is far too early in the season for any rash predictions to be made by any club / supporter, Most certainly the Wightlink Islanders have shown in their opening two matches winning away by 20pts at Buxton and 61-31 at home against Stoke last night, that they will be a force to be reckoned with in this year's NL. No news yet on a permanent replacement for the unfortunate Byron Bekker who was at the track last night but Jake Anderson who deputised last night only dropped one point in five rides! RESULT and SCORERS (in riding order 1 to 7) FROM LAST NIGHT'S MATCH: WIGHTLINK SHIELD - 1st LEG WIGHTLINK ISLANDERS 61: Tom Perry 9+1, Danny Stoneman 8+1, Ben Hopwood 8+2, Darryl Ritchings 7, Jake Anderson 11+3, Adam Ellis 13+1, Brandon Freemantle 5+1 STOKE 31: Lee Smart 4, Ben Reade, 3, Luke Chessel (rider replacement), Luke Priest 8, Kyle Hughes 12, Shaun Tedham 2+1, Chris Widman 2+1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck guys, cant wait to see ya up at Monmore wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 is jake a iow rider or just a one off anyone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhidassa Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Jake isn't a full-time Isle of Wight rider, at least yet, he was guesting in place of the injured Byron Bekker. Whether he will be signed, I couldn't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I am hearing that Jake has been blocked, possibly on the grounds that he has ridden in the Australian Championships, now if there is NO NL ruling stating that specifically, then i am thinking Jake is still elegible to ride NL as he has Scottish relatives, and if i was IOW i would be looking to get some guidance from a on this, because as most of us know, most NL rules are made up as they go along.

builderbob Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 yes thats what i thought he had riden in austrailian championship so rightly so makes him not elegible for the national league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniev123 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Somewhere in the NL section it has been said that TWO teams wanted Jake this year but were refused the right to use him due to riding in the Australian Nationals which makes him a full Australian with GB partiality. So unless someone at the BSPA changes their mind, he can not ride at all in the NL, he can only appear in the PL or EL.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Saint Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I can confirm that Stoke twice made enquiries for last season and again this season and the answer was as you have stated regarding the Australian Championships.

berniev123 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks Malcolm for the backing up of what I said about Jake. I did not want to name the clubs myself in case I started an argument off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguetrader Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I am hearing that Jake has been blocked, possibly on the grounds that he has ridden in the Australian Championships, now if there is NO NL ruling stating that specifically, then i am thinking Jake is still elegible to ride NL as he has Scottish relatives, and if i was IOW i would be looking to get some guidance from a Lawyer/Solicitor on this, because as most of us know, most NL rules are made up as they go along. There is a clear ruling that all Australian riders know about. If you compete in the Australian Championships then your right to riding in the National League and any discount for the Premier League is removed. Fairly sensible and common sense. You make your bed you lie on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophykid Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I hope the Potters can give IOW a match tonight. It's early days for the Potters, but IOW have hit the ground running. Looking forward to seeing Adam Ellis again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 The Wightlink Islanders have signed 21 years old Welshman Tom Young to replace the unfortunate Byron Bekker and Tom debuts for the team tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
