Somerset V Ipswich Fri 10th Oct


Recommended Posts

I always get the impression it doesn't matter where you ride at the OTA, when that lot click into gear, that's it. Go out wide and they'll go under you, ride the white line and they'll go round you. I wont even get excited if we're level after heat 8, a few have managed that, but then it's 5-1 5-1 5-1 goodnight.

Sometimes I hate being ( almost) right. Well done to Somerset, good to see the two best teams in the final.

Hopefully we can win the cup, quite fancy our chances. Hopefully I can be right again.

Well done to the Rebels - good luck in the final.

 

So near and yet so far for the Witches. Probably a much better effort than many expected tonight.

 

Best wishes to Gino and Pontus.

As The Special One pointed out, the group went entirely to form.

 

The Witches good, but destined to be not quite good enough.

 

Will Edinburgh be at Foxhall on Thursday? Or will it be a hastily arranged 16-Lapper?

 

Edinburgh will be at foxhall on thursday with the second leg on the friday

Have to say, a top effort from Ipswich. They were definitely up for this and despite their poor scores, both Tungate and Heeps battled really well. Richie Worrall led the way with a couple of fine wins during the early stages, backed up by a fighting display from skipper Richie Hawkins.

 

The Witches faded after heat 8, but gave the Rebels a scare for sure. It took a mid match team meeting to kick start the Rebels, who really upped the gas for the remainder of the meeting.

 

Once again, a super meeting with plenty of passing. Olly Allen and Todd Kurtz were in brilliant form and credit must go to the Rebels who turned this around soon after losing Aspgren in a frightening looking fall in heat 5.

 

Excellent atmosphere tonight and a decent size crowd. Should be a couple of cracking meetings against the Monarchs.

I thought this was a very good meeting. One of the largest crowds I've seen for a league match at the Oak Tree too. The Witches certainly looked up for it, particularly in the early heats, they rode with some aggression and gated well. Again Worrall scored well, but he really is awful when he misses the gate. Tbh I think the reserves did about what Gino would have done (hope he's ok). The turning point was the Rebels heat win against the tactical ride in heat 12, if the Witches had got something there it was squeaky bum time for the home side, alas it wasn't to be...and the usual trend of a Rebels late surge continued. Whether they can do that against Edinburgh is debatable, they will need to win comfortably at home to have any chance against the Monarchs. Its game on.

being honest they wont . Worrall, Tungate, Risager all what i would class white line riders. Gino, Heeps and Hawkins will try but still cant see anything but a thumping 55-35

wasnt exactly far out on my prediction.

 

Not a track that suits our boys
