Young51 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) My thoughts from the Monarchs Chatzone - Great meeting tonight, Monarchs pushed all the way by a very good 5 man Ipswich side. Alarming that we went 1-5 down after heat 1 but soon turned that into a 6 point lead by heat 6. Ippo always looked threatening but with only four heat wins and two heat advantages, the Monarchs kept all points at home. Sam is not used to dropping points especially at home but 8 from 4 after a busy week will do. Robert toiled at #2 failing to beat an Ippo rider, tough slot for him. Kevin was nearly top man losing only once to Danny King but his partner Justin surpassed that with a superb paid maximum. Cookie looked out of sorts in heat 7 but tried hard to catch Roller Tungate in heat 13. Erik did well, winning heat 2 followed by four 3rd places, that will do fine. Max had a tough night too beating the hapless Hawkins who despite turning up, never turned up! Ippo had four heat winners and a great replacement for Neilson (hope he's fine!), but lost as they could only win a heat each. I saw Covatti at Somerset last week and he looked impressive, even more so tonight. King scored less than I expected after a good heat 1, Manzares supported well as did Tungate with Bates also doing well. Heat 10 with Masters and Tungate, I was on turn 1 at the time but I saw Sam going past Rohan on the back straight and was very fast into bend 3 on the inside, they were probably too close for Rohan to switch to the inside and pass. Tough call for the Grand Monarch! Heat 11 seemed a bit tactical, a Monarchs 4-2 would allow a t/r, Cookie was miles ahead of King - Manzares was slow enough for Clegg to pass before Clegg slipped off slowly to ensure a 3-3. All tactical? Who am I to say? Well done to Monarchs on a great win and praise to Ippo for pushing us so hard on the night. The cup matches will be well worth seeing!! A fair summary of an entertaining night when Monarchs werent totally on song but still did enough Always good to get one over on Ipswich..the main difference this time from other humpings is that most of the Ipswich riders actually gave it a right go and showed a lot of guts so fair play..maybe Ritchie Hawkins wishes he'd puked his guts up in a Motorway service station lavvy on the way up here..but that's nothing new..

HenryW Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Heat 10 with Masters and Tungate, I was on turn 1 at the time but I saw Sam going past Rohan on the back straight and was very fast into bend 3 on the inside, they were probably too close for Rohan to switch to the inside and pass. Tough call for the Grand Monarch!I have to say that from the 3rd turn it looked quite clear that Sam simply dived in and wiped out Rohan...and everyone around me was just as surprised as I was when Rohan was excluded. Well done to Monarchs on a great win and praise to Ippo for pushing us so hard on the night. The cup matches will be well worth seeing!!If Cameron Heeps is back for the cup matches we could be in some trouble. The 2 points that R/R delivered last night are nothing like what he would surely score at the Dale and I am not sure that Danny King would score as low again....

Super Blue Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Alot of the old water to go under the bridge before the cup matches , Ipswich have one date in July available and and both teams have consecutive days on 13th and 14th August free . Im guessing that's gonna be when it will happen and by then who knows how things will have changed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
