Don't know about Highbridge but you can see what Burnham is like for yourself here. :t:

Touch and go then...the sooner Speedway tracks find a way of introducing some way of protecting the track from rain the better...another case of not wanting to travel two hours in traffic at the risk of a cancellation. Fingers crossed for some sunshine between now and the start.

Providing the weather doesn't spoil it i reckon Rye might? Kennett in superb form, Kasper & Morley likewise and what odds on Lanham having a blinder.......obviously the home side are all in good nick too but something makes me think that Rye can take a point here.

Quiet on here I was hoping for some reports by people who went. Judging by Stattos updates looks like a fairly straightforward win apart from Eddie performance . Nice to see Jake and BWD smoothly moving into their new roles, I can see these two swooping all season. Footie and GP tonight on the box, excellent, Rebels on the updates⚽️🍻

The score line doesn't really reflect the closeness of the contest.

 

Some good close racing all night...not too many passes...but it was certainly close in a lot of races.

 

Kennett was on fire, he had some good close races with Josh. Robson and Nielsen also impressed.

 

There was a cracking race in heat 6 which BWD won, but he was much slower than Josh and Robson.

 

Josh tried his hardest to protect BWD, but in doing so allowed Robson to find a line to overtake him.

 

Shame...as I've noticed so much talent in BWD, he's doing so well, but he's ringing that throttle dry trying to find more speed.

 

He'd be top 3 if he could find another half a second or so.

 

Another cracking race in heat 11 when Jake found speed and grip down the back straight...was like a bullet...almost took Kennett out, but controlled it and was all over him like a Spitfire on an ME 109 ;-)

 

Kennett held on in another cracker.

 

Was great to see the Wildcats of Weymouth facing The Falcons from Exeter in the second half...brought back memories of Wigg and Yeates, Autrey and co. Both tracks I loved visiting.

Thanks Gresham now I don't get down as often as I did I really look forward to the regulars giving their opinions on the match, appreciate it.

Looking forward to coming down for the GP / Pairs weekend next month. Any news on who will be partnering Josh.

Kennett was on fire on Thursday at the Abbey looked through his Rye House stats this year unreal really,Has scored double figures plus some of them maxis everytime bar two times that was a ten point score and a eight (including a ef from four rides) going great guns this year.

Would love to ER but the 314 mile round trip and no beer rules that out. Should be a cracker tho😀Maybe when I'm down for the Pairs👍

I'm sure I read it was Rohan partnering Josh...open to correction though.
