Ipswich Witches V Scunthorpe Scorpions Pl 11-8-16@7-30pm


Recommended Posts

Time to get this one going I think.

 

So what will occur this time when Scunny come to the Heath?

 

Back at the start of the season they certainly caught us off guard and went away victorious against expectations.

 

Recently though, no doubt spurred on by the noisy Massif and a few team changes I believe we are a much different outfit that should take all three league points from the meeting.

 

However, they do have a few riders in their lineup that are more than capable of scoring well.

 

Josh Auty, usually very hit and miss at Foxhall but he holds the No1 race jacket for good reason.

 

Ryan Douglas, who rode so well guesting for us a few weeks back will be a danger man.

 

Lewis Kerr, as we know can win a race or two here.

 

MPT, usually indifferent round Foxhall but?

 

Fritz Wallner, never heard of him so who knows what he will do.

 

Wilko, should always score a few from reserve.

 

And Josh Bailey will be good for a point or two.

 

So all in all I think a home win is on the cards but we shouldn't be complacent about the Scorpions lowly league position.

 

Over to you guys and gals.

So long as someone blows my horn for me and shakes my ding a ling I predict a Witches win 53-40.

 

I will still be working on my tan so good luck to the boys...

 

Make so noise - support the boys!!

All gone quiet over here....

 

Weather forecast on Look East sounded perfect, some overnight rain and then an overcast but dry day with temperatures increasing about 7:45 on the Heath (when Mr Naughty Auty tries to fence Danny King in Heat 1. Apologies Josh, but you have a lot of previous and I still haven't forgiven you for knocking off Rohan Tungate at the EWR last season which led to the re-run and that incident.

 

Lewi Kerr, having left Revolution Team, will be back on GMs and flying again no doubt. The boy deserves a warm welcome as it wasn't his choice to test Jawas this season. Wilko always deserves a special cheer and I have a lot of time for Ryan Douglas.

 

On the Witches front, lets give Danyon a big cheer on his debut as a fully fledged Witch, Danny King for his heroics in the SWC and, the team for their efforts at Owlerton last Thursday, which would have been an away win apart from the stunning return of Jason Garrity - had to laugh when he flew through the tapes in Heat 1 last night, bless him, you could've done that once last Thursday, eh Jason?)

 

Could be another Massif night on the Heath.....

M56 - Jason came very close to doing just that a few times at Sheffield but each time he just missed them! As you say it was a stunning return though as he rode to a super five ride maximum!

Have to say Scunny coming off the back of a fighting performance at Somerset, yes we lost 52-41, but theres not many teams that will score 40+ at the OTA. Hopefully the Scorpins will have a fully fit Mr Entertainment - Josh Auty and a fully fit 'ard man from Yorkshire - Wilko. As Josh and Carl can both peform well at FH. The Kerrminator hopefully will continue his fantastic form, along with MPT. Ryan can peform well and if Joshy Bailey can continue doing his job and Fritz 'the Blitz' can score 2-3 points then Scunny could be getting a result. Im sticking with my gut instinct and saying Ippo to win but Scunny to get a point

Great posts Lion and Dan.

 

Yes, I was at Owlerton on Thursday and as you say, v v close but not quite into the tapes. It was Jason's night and I can't begrudge him that.

 

Think there will be an element of revenge about the Witches on Thursday Dan, but all strong points from you. Lets hope its a close and entertaining meeting. The under strength Massif are waiting to greet you and your team and management.
