Somerset V Glasgow Play Off Semi


Recommended Posts

Probably about as best we could have hoped for but this is very much in the balance.

 

Somerset have already won at our place and I would consider them slight favourites but is really difficult to call.

Need to Kauko to eat a burger en route!

Coming in so late in the season then breaking his collar bone has probably put paid to seeing the real Kauko but i have a suspicion he will be wanting to give us a big performance on Sunday.

Nothing taken from Glasgow, but the Ref was clearly in favour of Glasgow tonight it was unbelievable.

 

Pulls Searjant back in heat 2, then lets him get away with twitter more more (which were more clear to see). Then pulls Wright back for the same thing. It was so hypothetical. Then again we all know the BSPA wants an all scottish final. I'm not bitter because Glasgow deserved that score anyway.

 

It didn't look like Summers was clipped but, so anyone with a clear view would be appreciated.

Hope you're right mate!

The tie is very much alive . We might have lost to Somerset in the league match at Glasgow , but we were well ahead at one stage and Nick Morris' fall when leading seem to change the course of the meeting that day . Obviously they are stronger with Andersen at reserve , but you just never know . I'll keep believing

Rasmus Jensen doesn't do Glasgow on a Sunday , so they have Jonas B Andersen as a guest at reserve .

A pulsating meeting which had a touch of everything. Raced under a clear sky with the Autumn deu present by 7pm....a reminder that winter is almost upon us!

 

An engine failure for the pick up truck delayed the parade and prevented the Rebels showing off the knockout cup to their fans, then bike problems for Kurtz and then Jensen in early heats. Glasgow were up for the challenge with Lawson, Summers and Morris looking in combative moods.

 

Starke continued his terrific form of late and Wright was his usual courage and daring self, scraping the boards on occasions.

 

Nick Morris snatched a vital third place from Kurtz on the line before crashing into the fence after his throttle stuck open. His bike then spectacularly caught fire!

 

Jensen was controversially excluded for touching Summers as both went for the same piece of inside track going into bend one on the final lap. Referee Watters suffered the wrath of Rebels fans, (not for the first time as their frustrations were aired with the Sargent starting technique once again coming into question).

 

6 points makes a very exciting second leg in prospect with two very evenly matched teams.

 

Good to see Doyley at the OTA, and in addition, an honest emotional George Ward thanking supporters for their generous donations to his stricken son.
