MD Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 A right royal pumping handed out by the PL's best team. Morris would have helped us over 40 but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 As MD says Nick wold have scored more than r/r. Also didn't help that our guest Thomas jorgensen - thanks for taking the booking - managed to fall foul of the obsession that refs have of trying to catch riders out at the tapes. Funnily enough his score last night for Sheffield helped us more than his score tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishRoundabout Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 A thumping win for the Rebels. Glasgow kept them honest for the first half of the meeting before Somerset found their gating gloves. For the Tigers, Lawson looked good initially before fading, suffering recurring mechanical problems. Summers looked to have found some speed mid meeting, before he faded too. Jorgensen let the team down with his impatatience at the tapes, but otherwise looked competitive. Kurtz once again looked in magnificent form and Leigh Lanham proved once again what an astute signing he has been with a memorable paid maximum. The bruised and battered Charles Wright and Paul Starke provided the usual entertainment, hunting down their prey before swooping and stealing points from the back in almost all of their races. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bruised and battered Charles Wright and Paul Starke provided the usual entertainment, hunting down their prey before swooping and stealing points from the back in almost all of their races. I love this post, it sums up all that I like about Somerset. I have been to quite a few tracks over the years and there is not one that delivers the entertainment achieved almost weekly down at the OTA. The Pairs the other week was brilliant with several riders having outstanding races that bought the crowd to their feet.How rare is FTG posted on the updates site for a Somerset match, occasionally you will get "Tapes go up, Rebels gate,5-1". How often as well do you get "Rebels left for dead at the tapes" then a great description of how as ER put it the Rebels"hunt down their prey". This goes right back to the days of Glen Cunningham who was comfortably the worst starter I have ever seen ( sorry Glen), who would then set about gradually getting past everyone before nicking it on the line, he didn`t always get there, but great entertainment. Brady Kurtz continues to improve at a staggering rate with one poster from the Redcar match comparing him to Darcy Ward, with his regular guesting spot for Sheffield he must be a threat for the PLRC . What must be very pleasing for Gary May must be the form of Lanham, Wright and particularly Starke who has single handily held up the reserve part of the team all season. Well done Leigh on your paid max in this match long may it continue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think Kurtz is the best rider in the league at the moment, just shading Cookie. Strong favourite for the PLRC I would think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aroundtheboards Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 It's a funny old game! Josh scores 10 for Rebels V Tigers on Friday and then gives 13 points back in to Tigers V Berwick guesting for Nick !!! I suppose it pays back Tigers for having Nick injured the week before guesting for Rebels V Devils albeit a Cup Match. Now Tigers and Rebels are equal 3rd in the league !!! As I said, --- It's a funny old game ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Enjoyed myself despite our capitulation . Thought we could sneak a point after heat 7 , but then it went pear shaped . Still I've never let a thrashing at the Oak Tree Arena spoil my night in the past and I still had a great time on Friday . I really enjoy going to watch speedway there .
