Swindon Sprockets Are Back!


Recommended Posts

Great to see Swindon back at NL level (no sarcy comments please!) run by my good mate Lee Kilby , first meeting away to the IOW next Thursday and May the 11th for our first meeting at The Abbey. Good solid side made up of riders from sides not in the Trophy led by Zach Wajnecht and Dan Greenwood with local asset Darryl Ritchings and one time Robin (I think?!) David Mason plus David Wallinger Layne Cupitt and Taylor Hampshire making the side up. Lee had put a lot of time and effort into this project and I really hope the public back them I am confident given good weather plus the break in Robins activity they will!

With a very weak Plymouth and IOW I just hope Swindon fans don't get the wrong impression of NL racing.

 

The side they have selected from the other 7 teams makes them too strong for both the others.

 

They could see a decent match though against Mildenhall in the final.

TBH like for like I'm not sure you are right about the IOW maybe the Res situation if Mullins is not fit maybe a bit tricky but hopefully some good guests to make it competitive but time will tell Edited by TMW

The reserve situation with Mullins is even more tricky he is simply so uneliable, and not good enough, no different to when he was when he last rode for IOW, and in my opinion needs replacing.

I know you shouldn't believe anything you read in the press, but I see yoursportswindon.co.uk are listing the Sprockets as wajtknect, Wallinger, Greenwood, Woolley, Ritchings, Cupitt and Whitmore. That team is currently more than 39 points so is it legal? Secondly given his current average of 6+ why is Cupitt at 6 and not in the 2 to 5? May all change on the night but thought I would ask.

Team looks legal. Woolley replaces Mason/Bowtell and Whitmore replaces Hampshire from team that rode on the Island.

 

I would expect Wallinger to be at reserve with Whitmore.

And on current form he'll probably get an extra ride or 2. Very impressed with him at kent Monday, but seemed to tire in his 5th and 6th rides.

The starting averages are under 39.00 and Woolley replaces Mason from the original side which is also fine. The issue is Wallinger's current average is lower than Cupitt so he should be at reserve.
