spanner47 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 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.

lucifer sam Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well done Somerset - deserving winners of the group. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hope ~Gino and Pontus are OK. Well done Rebels, our boys gave you a run for your money early on, but as expected you came good in later stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 It looked like we may just get something at one point, then it all went Pete Tong. We certainly need to add at least one more proper racer to next seasons team or we will always get beaten at tracks like that. Well done though lads, I'm sure you did you're best.

Sherborne Green Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well done Somerset and all the best in the final. Surprised no comments from Gavin, but he may be too busy on the Poole section of the forum. Don't take offence Gavin just having a bit of fun. Well played Ipswich for getting so close.

Mr Blobby Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Edinburgh will be at foxhall on thursday with the second leg on the friday Bit presumptuous as the Newcastle leg has yet to be run on Sunday, so Ipswich's opponents in the Final has yet to be decided.

EnglishRoundabout Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblueboy Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 What date is the Somerset leg of the final scheduled for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowasthatberntpersson Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 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.

lucifer sam Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) As The Special One pointed out, the group went entirely to form. You're not going to start talking to yourself again, are you? But suffice to say, Somerset completely deserved to win the group. All the best Rob Edited October 11, 2014 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 We never seem to get the second leg of anything, why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
