Newcastle Diamonds V Berwick Bandits Tyne Tweed Trophy 26th March 2017


Recommended Posts

It's been a while since Berwick posted a good score at Brough Park and I didn't expect much last night, but from what I've seen so far (very early I know, but I'm also basing it on the finish to last year), Newcastle are going to be right up there this season.

 

A lot might depend on how often our 1-7 will take to the track together, though, a bit like last season.

 

I have have to admit I haven't looked at any possible fixture clashes (something I've been meaning to do for a week or so!), but hopefully, they will be at a minimum in 2017.

The same did go through my head, as this cost Newcastle on numerous occasions last season, but I would have thought the promotion would have tried to minimise fixture clashes this season.

So a 20 point win - were we good, or Berwick poor, or a mixture?

 

Personally I think it is more down to Berwick being poor and really we should be racking up a much higher win, but I have serious concerns about the make up of our team, to me we are going to struggle if any one of lambert/Worrall/Rose has an off night!

 

I hope to be proved wrong but the reserves will struggle to beat anyone of note, especially away, - Berwick came with three reserve standard riders and they scored 4 points!!

 

Sorry - at the moment its a half empty glass for me!

Yes but not many teams have any reserves of note. Teams with a good (3+) average reserve have a lot weaker top 5. If last years regs were still in place ( i.e. min 3 pt ave. Newcastle would be on 41.81

Newcastle have a top 5 all capable of winning races, jury's still out on DP, and Coles will score points.
