Am sure you're right that one win from the two fixtures a pretty good return from the unusual arrangement of two away matches in one day but surprised at your 'choice'... I'd have thought in the scheme of things a win at Buxton was at least as important as at Stoke if not more...

We lost 43-47 at Buxton but it was a Cup match and we had a 16 point lead from the first leg, hence the comment about it not being a big deal to lose.

 

We won the Stoke match 50-38 ending the meeting with 5 fit riders after Ash and Gareth both had to withdraw after knocks. Happily it seems no bones are broken though both will need a little time on the sidelines.

 

The team to face the Isle of Wight will have a rather strange look.

 

Have to say Lee Geary's Heat 2 win was one of the highlights of the night and Dan Greenwood and Nathan Greaves really took up the challenge in the later stages of the meeting, while Lewis and Starkey were simply magnificent.

 

In the words of 'Wallace' - A grand day Out!!!

uninformed is not stupid. 2 away matches on 1 day was a bit of a strange one but, stokes normal race night is saturday. ashley morris would have been at workington, paul starke at berwick, etc, better to ride on a sunday with a full team, maybe!

Enjoyed those, thought the buxton meeting was better than the stoke one, they got on well with it at Buxton inspite of the rain, the hitmen coming back well to win by 4 points, morris and blackbird looked good for Dudley.

Well done to Blackbird getting a full max and Starke a paided one at stoke, apart from Priest I thought Stoke were poor, Smarty looked slow from the gate and down on power.

Long day but very enjoyable.
