Travertine Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Interesting, no more than four points in it through the whole match right up until the end. I think the Diamonds followers will be happy to take a four point deficit up to Brough, but at least there is still some hope for the Tigers, its not a nailed on-cert the way Newcastle are racing. Let's hope (for us neutrals anyway) the second leg is as close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Diamond Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Great result by the diamonds would have taken 10 points down without hesitation 4 is a bonus. On paper Tigers shouldnt do what Monarchs or Witches did round brough. However Wells, Roynon and Lawson are cabable round Brough so hope all seven Diamonds turn up and finish the job comfortably.

oriole Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Good meeting, but worth going just for heat 15 alone. If you couldn't go, buy the dvd to see Richard Hall back to his brilliant best round Owlerton. Fantastic effort to come from the back to take both Worrall and Robson. All the Tigers gave it a good go. Impressed with Richard Lawson after a slow start. If only Facu could gate. His efforts from the back were great to watch. Ricky had a good meeting. Adam was on the pace and will soon be up there with the heat leaders. Bit more hopeful of a good showing on Sunday now. Up the Tigers.

Steve55 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Impressed with Richie Worrall tonight, best meeting I've seen him have at Owlerton. Thought he did really well in heat 9 when under pressure from Richard Hall and throughout set an example to the rest of the Diamonds, keeping them in the meeting every time he went on track. Nothing he could do about Richard Hall in heat 15, don't think anyone could have kept Hally behind them in that race he was so determined, brilliant. Richie's a young rider with a fantastic future, bet the Belle Vue management are happy with their investment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Somebody commented that heat 15 was one of the best races they had seen at Owlerton, difficult to disagree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Duppcomic Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Very much like Richard's Heat 15 against Workington. Top drawer stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel'n'Back Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Why wasn't Richard Lawson in heat 15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Why wasn't Richard Lawson in heat 15? Probably because Wells had outscored him in the meeting and Hall is always capable of pulling something off in that heat. In addition, there maybe a slight reluctance to use a guest. Whatever the case, I thought Sheffield got it right. A good meeting, with enough decent racing to shut up a few of those knocking the track recently. Can only echo others comments about Hall's brilliant win in heat 15. There was enough there to suggest that while the Tigers will not make the play offs they will be a handful for anyone now, and what was especially pleasing was the battling efforts by pretty much the whole team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Fantastic heat 15 from hally,a battling performance from the team but think we will get hammered on sunday because we cant gate consistently enough and that's what you need to do at brough park.I still think hally should ride at 5 at home because the ride he pulled off in heat 15 can be achieved in heat 13.We need to squeeze every point out of meetings.It would also make us stronger in other heats when he would be out with the reserves.Just my opinion but what do us fans know ??

Cue Ball Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Can't help thinking that Facu just needs some decent machinery under him to make a good rider - he's making the moves but just doesn't seem to have the horsepower to pull them off. As an aside - Ashworth didn't look too shabby after the meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside - Ashworth didn't look too shabby after the meeting. My thoughts exactly about Albin, he's obviously got what it takes, but he does look under powered when he gets into a position where he's looking to make a move. Last night he was really up against it with Lewis Kerr, as did most of our riders, this lads definitely one of the premier leagues 'finds of the season'. He looked a confident/competent rider, on a track where I've certainly not seen him before, soon got the measure of the circuit and his 9 points no doubt helped put the Diamonds in position of advantage for Sundays second leg. As for Ricky he looked his old self out on the shale, but did look a bit quiet when walking around the terraces. I'd have him back, but think Berwick will want him seeing as Kennett isn't really living up to expectations!

DukesGreg Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Very entertaining meeting (I work every other Thursday, thanks to the weather Gods I got to a meet!), sunshine speedway and a very entertaining meeting with some good racing. Was concerned after heat one when Lawson registered a coconut, but he was great after that, and Sheffield definitely needed it, with the Diamonds well on the gas. Roynon was tentative (understandably), but showed his class once out in front. It'll come for him, he's just had a bad time of it lately. Lewis Kerr looked VERY good for the Diamonds from reserve, I think that he is a good prospect, and one to watch. Thankfully Ludwig Lindgren wasn't too beaten up after his crash, he was wellying in coming into that 3rd bend... good to see him up. As for Heat 15? Was an awesome (a much overused word normally!) ride by Hall... to secure the win on the night he just needed to break their pairing up, but once he was in second he seemed to just breeze into contention for the lead... and a great rounding by him to take the chequered flag. Probably not enough on aggregate for a progression... however, not fussed here. When you pay your cash on the door at speedway, you hope that you will be entertained. Shame it's not like this every week, good night, good racing, great sport. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
