The White Knight Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Here's hoping for a good,safe, close Meeting. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can keep those 'Johnny Rebs' in sight - so that we can blow them away on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Charles Wright is in one of Somerset's reserve berths. Does anyone know who the second reserve is? Somerset Jason Doyle Kyle Newman Nick Morris Alex Davies Josh Grajczonek Charles Wright AN Other Newcastle Richie Worrall R/R Stuart Robson Andrew Tully Ludvig Lindgren Anton Rosen Chris Schramm Lewis Kerr I am a Newcastle supporter and I am hoping for a great result. The Diamonds riders are capable of scoring plenty of points, However, This Somerset side finished top of the table which makes them "League Champions" really, but now they have to win the title all over again by coming through the play offs and winning the final just as Newcastle had to do 12 months ago. But we failed in the play offs despite topping the league. I would be happier if Stuart Robson was fit but unfortunately he is nowhere near fit for these matches. So its R/R at number 2 and due to the new green sheet averages Andrew Tully is no longer eligible to take one of the R/R rides so that weakens the Diamonds even more. Whatever happens I hope it is a cracking match with the Diamonds entertaining as much as they usually do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 We don't seem to like riding the last four Heats when we are away from Home. Roll on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 And that is why I have been naysaying all those putting the Diamonds down as the top team. Been weak all season at the sharp end of away matches. Great season overall but not enough firepower in the end. Got to remember that our #1 started last season as a 3 point reserve.

Cliffeboy Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 The top team in the league Somerset are generally very good at the end of matches, so don`t be too harsh on your lads. It sounds like it was a real nail biter for a while,but Charles Wright is turning into a real good signing, he is scoring good points against everyone. Sunday should be a belter.

Worrall started the season with a 5.64 average, Kerr started with a 3 average. Even steve worrall started on 3.93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
