Newcastle Diamonds V Scunthorpe Scorpions Pl 28th June, 6.30


Recommended Posts

Isn't this the PLKOC 2nd leg in which case 48-42 wouldn't be enough, However think Newcastle will win by a wee bit more then 6

Yes it is, and we need to overcome your 16 point advantage from the away leg. I think we will win but it might be a bit tight. We need all 7 Diamonds to be on song now they are all back, if so we might just steal it.

Yeah, seem to remember us pulling back a lot more than this a couple of years back agin. the Tigers to eventually reach the final. { Or was that the year the Rebels scuppered us?} Anyway time will tell if we can de-sting the Scorpions and progress this year. Fingers, as always, firmly crossed.

This is the second leg of the Premier League Knock Out Cup. The first leg finished Scunthorpe 53 Newcastle 37 Scunthorpe have a 16 point advantage before a wheel is turned at Brough Park on the 28th June.

 

I think the Newcastle team of "second strings" are showing one or two who are becoming heatleaders, Steve and Ludde.

Christian has been a bit "off" in last few weeks. If he can hit 8 or 9 against the Scorpions and the rest score what they usually manage at home, then I can see us winning by 20 points which will be enough to get us through to the next round

Now that is funny! :lol:

Yes I raised an eyebrow too. How anyone can forecast Scunny winning on sunday is beyond me. The only question is, can the diamonds win by more than 16 points and go through to the next round. I think they will do it but I am a little bit biased. Steve is usually in double figures and Ludde should score heavily too. Lewis Kerr has had a few bad rides but he too can hit 12 points or more. Christian has been a bit hit n miss but when the chips are down he usually gets stuck in and gets the points. Our reserves Simon and Lewis R are doing fine.

 

That leaves Anton Rosen.. back from injury and riding well. Anton is a class rider hopefully he can make some starts against a weaker side -Scunthorpe and his points will better what we had been getting from R/R when he was missing through injury

 

The KO Cup is now our main competition, the League Cup and Premier League look beyond our reach so come on lads lets win the KO Cup so brush Scunny aside on Sunday and set us up on a cup run

This is probably Scunthorpe's most important match of the year now with no interest shown in the League Cup and the play offs probably already out of reach with 4 home losses but looking at the teams i can only see a big win for Newcastle in the 2nd leg, it doesn't help Scunthorpe's cause that they have 3 weeks of home inactivity where they could get some much needed track racing time and confidence to take to these away matches, i fear a very short season for Scunny.

Can only see a Newcastle win myself. Do feel for Scunthorpe though.
