dantodan Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sheffield Tigers 1. Simon Stead2. Dimitri Berge3. Josh Bates ?4. Kyle Howarth5. Jason Garrity ?6. Arthur Sissis7. Nathan Greaves Newcastle Diamonds 1. Steve Worrall2. Victor Palovaara3. Matej Kus4. Ludvig Lindgren5. Robert Lambert6. Lewis Rose7. Danny Phillips Sheffield's injured pair (Josh and Jason) and Newcastles usual unavailability issues will mean some changes for this 2nd leg match which dare I suggest is all over bar the shouting the Diamonds won the 1st leg 62-28. But the fixture has to be fulfilled. Sheffield may just hit 12 5-1s giving themselves a chance in the last 3 heats wish there was a flying pig emoticon!!

StevePark Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Can't remember if it's Fisher or Wolbert (!), but one of them was announced as guest by Roy last night for Steve (riding for Belle Vue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 This meeting is a dead duck. Would have normally gone.... but after Sunday's first leg it isn't worth bothering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekimba Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 This meeting is a dead duck. Would have normally gone.... but after Sunday's first leg it isn't worth bothering Don't be to sure, I remember in 2010 we beat Sheffield 59-31 at Armadale and then went to Sheffield the following week and they beat us 61-31 , so never say never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 A couple of years back, I think Sheffield gave us a right pummelling, (the night of the proper storm),,, then we had to beat them by about 30 in the return and we obliged,,, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerite Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Don't be to sure, I remember in 2010 we beat Sheffield 59-31 at Armadale and then went to Sheffield the following week and they beat us 61-31 , so never say never One of the great nights at Owlerton in recent times, think Edinburgh had won at Owlerton earlier that season as well. The team that night rode out of their skins and was just one of those nights that everything went right. Don't think this team is capable of those exploits as we don't have enough depth in the team especially in the reserves. Would be nice to put a decent display in on Thursday after that horror show on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 We should have enough of a lead, but anything can happen on the night. It's a pity Jason Garrity isn't fit. His races against Robert Lambert the last time we were there were worth the admission alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 You're right about that, those two were really up for it and everybody was on their toes during those races. As for Thursday it depends on what mood the Sheffield riders are in, could be that you will beat us here as well! If Bates is riding anything could happen, and I mean 'anything'.

Danny Phillips Newcastle teams do not usually score freely at Owlerton. The Sheffield track is entirely different to what the diamonds are used to for their home meetings but our 2016 Newcastle side is a different kettle of fish so this will be an interesting meeting. I cannot see Sheffield scoring anywhere near to 63 points to overcome the diamonds lead but stranger things have happened. Some of Sheffield's support may stay away because of the uphill nature of the cuptie but really they are missing seeing a very entertaining Newcastle Team. Come on Ludde and the lads lets win the 2nd leg too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Good meeting with some cracking racing, shame about the result, but a fair one on the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Cracking result, even though we didn't need it for this aggregate competition. Pity we have already lost here in the PL, as I could fancy going back and stealing a win. Leave it for the playoffs eh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond@heart Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 Great result by the Diamonds. Could easily have gone and just tried to reach 31 but went for the win. Credit where credit is due. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
