Good win on the road but gutted to see Luke Ruddick get injured. He's been growing in confidence all year and really turned his form around so hopefully he's back soon although the early prognosis doesn't sound great. Best wishes to Jon Armstrong too.

 

Lee Smart to replace Luke whilst he is out now Kingsley is at Buxton?

News is that LUKE RUDDICK has NOT broken his wrist......fabulous for the boy who is showing teh form we knew he had in him.

 

he has burns on his hands and arm which will need some plastic surgery, but these shoudl heal better than a fracture

 

Some extra good news that following some phone calls on the way back from Buxton, that we will now have Jordan back for both Stoke and I.O.W.....many thanks to both Ross and Jordan for their concern for Luke.

Halsey is a rider I feel never lived up to his full potential. I rated him highly in his youth he just never managed to quite make that last step. On his day he can beat anyone but also not on his day he can be beaten by reserves. Around Mildenhall when he doesn't have machinery problems (which I've seen him have his fair share) and the tendency to lose concentration and crash he should hold a 9/9.5 avg round Mildenhall. It's his away performances that let him down unfortunately.

With how is average as dropped, dont seem to be that useful. Should be averaging more than what he is.

The thing is, Halsey's official average is based on 4 meetings and 2 were BV & Eastbourne away. Probably the hardest 2 meetings all season. His average will soon shoot yo as including National Trophy fixtures he has been having a good season around the 8 point mark.

Dan's a rider who's popular amongst the whole set up at Mildenhall. Part of the furniture now. On his day is capable of beating anyone in the NL. I believe he has changed some equipment this season, wether that has had something to do with his indifferent start to the season,i don't know. All I do know is I have no doubt that his average will be on the rise soon enough.

I think Dan's confidence took a huge knock years ago. He had just started riding PL for Rye and was averaging over 4.5,then just got dropped. Considering the progress he had made it must have come as a bit of a shock. He hasn't been the same since then. Although last year towards the end he was flying everywhere pretty much.

Although the meetings I ve seen him in won't affect his average, he looked the best I had seen him, especially some team riding he did to protect the lower order. If he has been team riding partners in leagues matches it's easy to drop points.

I ve always seen Halsey as someone in a tight race he usually wins, but if he is miles clear he has a tendency to switch off and goes for a play on the bouncy castle.
