Recommended Posts

Great result for Debbie and Garry's boys, but I expect it was another of those boring one-sided meetings that 'you don't get in the PL', eh Gav??! :shock::wink::oops:

 

Well done the Rebels, terrific result!! :t:

I thought it was a good meeting & like I said, racing IMO was better than the score looks. Ipswich just not getting out the gate

You need to read the reports mate but that would take effort on your part.

Premier league is more exciting with better racing than the Elite league, and without the politics and the constant rule bending by one side..

Win or lose doesnt worry me that much as long as the racing is good.

Neither do i Gavan except if we lose to Edinburgh then it becomes an issue.

Don't get me wrong I've seen far better meetings at Somerset, but this was still a good meeting which would probably be classed as excellent at the majority of other tracks in the league. Starke's 3rd to 1st up the inside in heat 12 was the pick of the bunch for entertainment value.

starke and Wright must be two of the most exciting (and toughest) riders in the PL at the moment. Both were at their daredevil best on Friday.

 

King looked as quick as ever before being squeezed out on the back straight by a determined Wright. King clipped the air fence before crashing heavily on his shoulder. Worryingly, he stayed down on his back for some time. Eventually he was helped to his feet and he walked gingerly back to the pits, his face blackened with dust and shale. Some stern words were then exchanged with both Wrighr and referee Dave Robinson. Prior to that, Chris Louis made his feelings known to Robinson about his decision to exclude King, with an angry gesture towards the refs box. No doubt King would have been good for double figures if he had remained in the meeting.

 

For Ipswich, both Paco and Risager flattered to deceive to be honest. Sarjeant made a couple of his jet propelled starts (and stayed statue still). Kerr tried hard to mix it but lacked the speed to tackle the OTA's fast lines. Ippo on their recent showings look in for a long season.

 

The Rebels looked very strong and will take some beating, especially at home. Debbie Hancock was a little disappointed in the size of the crowd, but another bitterly cold evening couldn't have helped.

 

Josh was at his competitive best, supported by a very fast Rohun Tungate. The engine room of this Somerset side look most impressive. The aforementioned Starke and Wright are worth the entrance money alone. Jake Allen and the two reserves have bundles of improvement in them.

 

Unlike Ipswich, the Rebels appear to have a successful season ahead of them. If they remain injury free, I predict they will win the PL in October.
