Lakeside V Eastbourne/ Eastbourne V Lakeside


Recommended Posts

I believe that Bech is available for the home meeting, but not for the return at Arlington.

 

He's flying home to take part in a 'qualifier meeting' apparently.

So, in effect,........bang goes any chance of an away point. :(

With a couple of probable also rans in reserve for Eastbourne, Lakeside have a pretty certain 12 point start both Home and Away so a big Home win and at least a point possibly more Away should be expected. They caught a lucky break having a double header on what is the only planned occasion when both Eastbourne reserves are elsewhere and 20 EL/PL teams are riding so no hope of a reasonable guest.

Always difficult to win at Eastie when they have Dugard riding at No8

Bech being unavailable will certainly leave quite a hole in the team for the away meeting considering how well he's been scoring so far this season, but hopefully we should get a few points out of R/R and Eastbourne's reserves situation should even things out. At least he's there for the home meeting.

 

I hope Ben Morley continues improving and has a good night at Eastbourne - the track should suit him. The Eagles top 5 look very solid at home so we'll need a good performance from Lewis at Arlington. Hopefully he can start to settle down on the new equipment and get some consistency going. We could do with picking up at least a point away.

 

It's a shame that I'm out of the country as I usually travel down to Eastbourne every year - I'll try to make the B fixture later in the season!

Is there anyone who is going to the Lakeside leg of the meetings who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message including your mobile number.

 

Thanks

Ben Hopwood guest for Eagles in both meetings?

Funny thing, tried to find any info about him. Expected another youngster.

Born 11-03-1981. Really young, only 33. :D

An up and coming teenager then :D , I thought this system was to help up and coming British youngsters.

Well a couple of seasons ago we had tempretures of nearly 30 at Lakeside, last season it was about 4 degrees and bloomin freezing, tomorrow looks like somewhere in between and more normal for the time of year.

 

At home i expect Hammers to win but Lahti does have a liking for our track and Kylmakorpi knows it well enough too, i think Hammers reserves should dominate that of Eagles though.

The away meeting will be very hard without Bech although with the way Lawson is riding and if our reserves go well and the others chip in with a respectable points total then im hopeful we can take a point from it, cant see us taking anymore than four points from the day though.

Hope for comfortable home win and anything on top of that will be a bonus.

I think, knowing Ben as I do, he won't be all that amused to find out via this thread that he's ten years older than he thought he was!
