teaboy279 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Not seen a topic for this and being a big fixture and local derby I thought I would start one. Likely teams SLYDE KINGS Bowen Clifton Shanes Rr/ Ayres Verge Thomas IT FIRST EAGLES Baseby Rr Perks Wood Knight Harris Powell Brennan I think it will be a tight afternoon with the Kings hopefully coming out 50-40 winners. A lot depends on whether Bowen is declared fit to ride, and how fit he is in the heat of the battle. Danny needs to grab to points available and not over try, 9 or ten points is better then a couple of wins and a couple of dnfs. Shansie has really been the torch bearer for the kings during our recent injury crisis. Thomas will no doubt have another busy afternoon and is consistently getting paid double figures. Clifton looking like he has regained his confidence and form after a series of horrific, painful, and expensive smashes when many others would have quit. Danno has refound his early season form and now looks faster then ever and now beating heat leaders. For the visitors Baseby is a great choice of guest and something of a track specialist so will be good for an easy 10 plus.Perks blows hot and cold, sometimes unbeatable, other times hitting the self destruct button and throwing points away. Wood always solid and when he hits the Grove he is a potential a track record contender always seems to take a couple of races to get dialled in though. Knight having his best season to date but can't recall how he goes at Kent. Harris is another rider who has soundly refound his mojo and is winning races for fun, whilst a favorite with the Kent fans he will certainly want to do well against a side who dumped him a couple of years back. Leaving Powell who has learned to stay on the bike a lot more and as a result has started to score well too. Weather looks reasonable so I expect a good days racing hopefully in front of a bumper crowd. Can't beat a local derby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Would be nice to think it could be close but the home match was really close, without Adam Ellis the result is a foregone conclusion. However it should be entertaining as the eagles are a team of racers and will give it their best effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham will pick Belle Vue or Cradley in the playoffs so we will probably see 2 more meetings like this before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseguy Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Knight has always impressed me at Kent, in fact I would say him and Josh Bailey are my favourite visiting riders to watch around central park Hope Bowen rides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many eagles fans making the short trip up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
