I'm tempted to take a trip up to this one.

Kevin, Matty, Claus, and Liam have all done the business round Armadale.

 

I think we could maybe make a decent meeting out of this, although the Monarchs look very strong.

 

I don't expect a win, but a decent contest nonetheless.

Monarchs have "Stevie" Worrall as they call him as a red-hot reserve, if Steenie and Liamie can keep him in check, Bandits might, just might, squeeze out a point.

[Mr Blobby]

Could be a wet one tomorrow folks with a good amount of rain fallen over the week and it's supossed to rain over night as well until around 10/11 o'clock in the morning. Hopefully the track staff though can work their magic and produce a decent racing surface.

 

If any one is interested Edinburgh have started doing a podcast on Saturday Mornings about the previous nights racing and Wednesdays as well about the meetings coming up. Good listen IMO.

Close match, vissing to top score, monarchs to edge it

I think you mean Wethers to top score.

[Robinh88]

I think Vissing will but we shall see

[Fromafar]

I think Vissing will but we shall see

Claus may well top score but saw him a few times at Amardale last season at it was a struggle for him ,whether it was set-up or dislike for the track he just never got to grips with it IMO.He is a much better rider than what I saw at Armadale and having a home track that he can ride will work wonders for his confidence . Think he will become a crowd favourite at Berwick as he is not afraid to get stuck in and will be a crowd pleaser.

[Robinh88]

Matty may well top score but riders with a point to prove seem to add an extra dimension, same in football its the ex player that usually comes back to haunt his old team. Cook probably will go through the card but we could get the 3-3

[Bandit59]

Looking forward to what HOPEFULLY will see Bandits get their highest score but cant see anybody beating Cookie all 14 riders to have a safe meeting

[Dekker]

track bit heavier than planned and the Monarchs cashed in, Aaron scored his first points, Steve Worral lit it up again and no doubt Claus had a point to prove beating Cookie. 61-31 was score though...

[HenryW]

A very solid looking performance from Edinburgh and nice to see Aaron get on the scoreboard after spending some time with Cookie this week to sort out his bikes.

 

The Bandits fans will surely have come away disappointed after having seen a "normal" result for them at the Dale.

Think you will find Doolan came third in his t/r after falling twice when Bellego stopped before the finishing line ? Only 3 Bandits can hold their heads up the others were mince[not even Andersons]Fair play to Monarchs who only had one last place when Max fell in heat 15 defo bottom 5 for Berwick if this is whats coming away from home

[Bandits4eva]

I don't think our season should ever be taken on a league match at Armadale! We move on to tomorrow... More important that we chalk up wins at home to keep the vast majority of our fickle fans happy bunnies 😄 We've had all 7 come away with only their pride hurting at the overall score!

[Mr Blobby]

Well that was a lot easier than expected 30 point win but will be a different story tomorrow though. Solid performance only one last place all night and that because Max fell off in the first bend in heat 15!

 

Track staff done well to get the meeting on. Track was a bit tricky to start with but got better as the meeting went on.

 

Cook - fast as ever apart from when he got beat by Vissing he was all over the place in that race

Aaron - looked like the couple of days at Cookies done him the world of good made some decent starts and scored in all his races unlucky when he wsa on a 5-1 and made a mess of the bend

Max - was fantastic tonight very sharp out of the starts tonight (veryunlike him) unlucky not to get his paid maximum when he lost a chain in the forst bend and done a wee 360.

Derek - solid as ever

Sam - Didn't have the best of nights but still scored solid points

Justin - Looked very fast tonight. was impressed with him again tonight

Worrall - gates like his brother these days and very quick again

 

Doolan - Had better nights round the dale

Bellego - honking

Kus - even worse

Matty - done as expected

Vissing - Made a couple of gates and had a good win over Cookie even though craig through away the lead not once but twice by trying to fence himself

Carr - struggled

Jensen - rode round the air fence all night to no avail

[Robinh88]

Well done Edinburgh...

[screm]

Our season wouldn't be complete if it was to have a least one hammering at Edinburgh, so there`s no point in getting all depressed about it. Edinburgh are a decent team and there will be more than Berwick to suffer at the hands of the Monarchs this season.

 

Onwards & upwards.

It is rare we come away from edinburgh with anything but that was poor, worst score in a long time. Well done the 3 riders Doolan . wethers & Vissing.

As you say onwards & upwards

Woeful from Berwick
