Birmingham V Kent 15/7/15


Recommended Posts

Sings 4 Kings has given up predicting having got about two right all season! Sadly inconsiderate work will keep me away from attending this one but I will be checking the updates through my hands I suspect. If Kent hit 40 I will call it a result but I fear a massacre. Ellis, Bates, Waj & even Kirby to fill his boots.

Brum to hit 60 ...

 

Doubt if that will ever happen. Birmingham rely on the top 3 racking up 40ish points with the winning margin being decided on the scraps that the rest of the team get when they are not busy falling off their bikes more than the opposition fall off their bikes. Consequently, the Brummies stand a good chance of winning, but never by any cricket scores.

 

Man to watch - Adam Kirby. Birmingham's fate will largely depend on either his scraps or his scrapes...time will tell...

Just a thought as Kent have had no luck with 3 pointers this year. Morley won't beat Ellis i bet.

This comment re Birmingham v Kent Kings is currently on the SGB website: --

 

In the City Gearboxes National League, Birmingham can move 14-points clear at the top with a home win over Kent at Perry Barr.

The Brummies will be without Josh Bates who is on Elite League duty with Wolverhampton and manager Graham Drury has opted to use the rider replacement facility. Meanwhile, Drury has handed club No.8 Robert Parker a second opportunity after he endured a tough debut against Coventry last month.

Drury said: “This is a meeting where every single rider is going to need to give it that little bit extra if they want to ensure we get another win on the board.

“We're not at full strength, Kent can be a decent side on their day and if we're not prepared properly, then this is the sort of meeting that could be a potential banana skin.”

Any 3-pointer who stays upright for 4 laps has a chance of picking up a point. It's the staying upright bit that proves difficult for them sometimes though lol.

Not just the three pointers!

This result must have been a shock for Birmingham - just scraped home at the finish? For once, well done Kent Kings!
