Somerset V Plymouth Plkoc July 10th


Recommended Posts

Brady missing both legs of this tie (Fri and Sat) due to World U21's. Nick Morris in on Friday for him - should be enough to get a lead to take to Plymouth on Sat. We'll need one as we seem to be the only team who can't get a result down there.

Hope we get Kennett or Ostergaard to guest in the return.

 

Teams: Somerset - N. Morris

J. Grajczonek

R. Worrall

C. Wright

L. Lanham

P. Starke

O. Greenwood

 

Plymouth - R. Fisher

K. Newman

J. Holder

M. Risager

T. Kurtz

Z. Simota

R. Benko

 

Not in riding order obviously.

I hope Nick is on it on Friday and doesn't have one of his off nights. It would be nice to see a good haul of points from a guest as other teams get when they engage BK !

Not so Barney, been up there since Tuesday.......Have a look at the bottom of the preview here

 

Obviously not got a Specsavers branch in Bedrock yet :rolleyes::P:lol:

 

I read the preview before posting, and I didn't see that. Are you sure that bit wasn't added later? If not, I apologise unreservedly and will get my eyes tested immediately. Probably due an eye-test actually, I am after all about 5000 years old or so! :wink:

I think Plymouth will get hammered tonight but at least with being in the NL next season they won't have to face the rebels again

 

 

that's 1 less home fixture for you. don't complain when there arnt enough team in the pl. maybe the rebs should go elite an see all of 7 teams or so on a very regular bases.

 

will your 300 supporters want to pay elite prices on the turnstiles ? just be glad the pl is a better product than any thing in uk speedway.

 

enjoy your season , it could be your last.

Plymouth played their part in another excellent meeting at the OTA. Good atmosphere and a decent size crowd. Fortunately the grey skies circling overhead stayed away.

 

For the Devils, Newman, Todd Kurtz and to a lesser extent Ryan Fisher were good value. The Rebels missed Charles Wright (bruising to wrist) from his crash at Redcar.

 

Josh regained the speed which has deserted him of late, Starke was superb entertainment with his never say die attitude and Leigh Lanham scrapped for every point.

 

Nick Morris as expected proved an inspired guest for Brady. Rode well with Lanham on a couple of occasions. His night came to a abrupt end after a horrifying looking crash with Fisher. Both riders giving their all in heat 13, crossed the finishing line almost locked together and then tangled spectacularly. Both machines hurtled into the fence collecting Morris who went backwards into the air fence.

 

Both riders eventually walked back to the pits, but The young Aussie was taken to Hospital with a cut arm and possible concussion. His crash helmet taking a severe battering.

 

Rebels look good for the return at the St Boniface. Lee Trigger being bitterly disappointed with his reserves and Simota in particular.

Definitely been there all the time BR, but don't worry too much, no apology needed, as I know what it's like, being almost as old as you myself :P:D

Jeng, me'old chap, think you'll find that OB could be a 'Former Devil' or is just a bit '(Penny) Cross' about anything to do with Plymouth, but he sure ain't a Rebels fan.

Hopefully you will be pleased that Nick scored points for you. Glasgow fans are really pleased :sad: since he'll now miss some crucial fixtures with an arm injury sustained whilst doing his best for you :cry:

Agree with you SharpenRake - has put Glasgow at a very serious disadvantage for next few weeks - so ironic as well that Glasgow are at Somerset next Friday - completely destroyed what could have been a really competitive fixture for the Rebels. EL and PL Clubs will keep using Nick and Lawson over and over again as long as the rules stay as they are - with little consideration of the impact it has on their own clubs.

I'm sorry SharpenRake. I was purely speaking as a great fan of Nicks and was eluding to last years Nick when he was riding for us. I was really annoyed at the way Nick sustained injury last night, It was so avoidable, Fisher didn't throttle off as crossed the finishing line still intent on catching Nick as he had out ridden Fisher in that race. The inevitable tangle of bikes was purely down to Fisher experiencing red mist. He is bloody dangerous and there was no need of it. I hope Nick recovers in time to take his place in the match against you next week which I am looking forward to , win or loose.

Just like other clubs use Somerset's Brady Kurtz & Josh Grajczonek, it's infortunate but thats the way it is.
