Glasgow Vs Somerset Ko Cup Semi-final 2nd Leg, 25 Sep 2016


Recommended Posts

Forecast is for a sunny afternoon on Sunday so all systems go for this one, I think this will be close, Somerset welcome back Jake Allen who has had a great first season, they are probably stronger with Campton rather than BWD though I don't think Hopwood will score as much as Bewley did at number 7,

 

Glasgow still without Lunna, might not hurt them too much if Garcia is on form again, also be interesting how Worrall and Tungate cope with riding at number 1, I'll go for a 6/8 point win for the home team with Lawson the top man for the Tigers and Grajczonek the top man for Somerset.

 

Stay safe and let's hope the Tigers can do enough to reach the final.

I assume it's Bach and the two reserves who can take Lunna's rides . I like the make up of our team on Sunday , Worrall has been our best rider this season and I think he'll cope ok with the switch to number 1 . Summers is good at 5 , racing with the reserves , and Lawson at 3 could be handy if we need something from heat 12 .

Campton at reserve for Wilson Dean helps them as Wilson Dean was awful during the recent league encounter and it's unlikely they will have a double figure return from the number 7 position this time as well .

A four point lead from the first leg is better than we could have ever imagined and now we need to finish the job against a very good side . The best two teams in the division this year should give us a very entertaining afternoon on Sunday .

Somerset's reserves will be Mason Campton and Ben Hopwood.

 

Tigers, having seen what befell the Rebels in the first leg, have engaged Ryan McDonald as #8

 

I had thought that James Sarjeant and Nathan Greaves were Guesting for the Rebels, who have Rohan Tungate riding at No. 1 in the new Green Sheets.

They were pencilled in last week before the rain put paid to that , James average to high now to guest for BWD and Greaves riding at Newcastle.

OK thanks Gazc. Sarj has been riding really well recently and his 0,F,3,3 was crucial last night at Armadiddle.

Most off us wanted him back this year and James did want to return but he couldn't get fitted in with the way we went on our team building.

Surprised the rebels never went for mark riss at reserve for BWD been scoring well of late, unless he has something on abroad and isn't available.

Is his average still assessed at 5 if so that will be why they never used him.

According to the latest Green Sheet, Mark Riss's average is no longer classified as assessed, as he has already completed in excess of the required 4h + 4a qualifying matches.

 

I believe that 2016 overseas newcomers once they have completed 4h + 4a, the GSA will be either 5 or actual average, whichever is the greater.

 

For instance, the likes of Mark Riss & Jye Etheridge's actual scoring are less than 5, but they have GSAs of 5, whereas Jake Allen's scoring has exceeded 5, resulting in a GSA of 5.96.

 

Etheridge guested for Peterborough at Armadale last week, based on a 5.00 GSA.

Can the Rebs do the unthinkable?

Bit suspect at reserve now unfortunately but you never know.

 

Will the weegies tink it's all been money well spent?

Well the Rebs have plenty of experience of winning trophies, whilst the weegies - well.......................!!

The Rebels have won the KO Cup three times but have won the league title..... only once ever!!! Compared with the Tigers whom have won the KO Cup twice and the league title..... 3 times!!! So if just on "winning trophies" the nod goes to Glasgow.
