lucifer sam Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 DAVID HOWE BACK AT EDDIE WRIGHT RACEWAY HENDERSON INSURANCE Scunthorpe Scorpions will be looking for their third victory of the season over the Berwick Bandits at the Eddie Wright Raceway on Sunday (5.30pm). The meeting is notable, since it marks the first appearance of Scorpions’ legend David Howe at the Eddie Wright Raceway, since his return from retirement. Howe spent seven successive seasons with Scorpions from 2009 to 2015, before injury woes forced him to quit the sport. But he has returned to action for the Bandits this season and top-scored with 11+1 for his new club at Peterborough on Friday night. Scorpions have been involved in three away meetings, since they defeated local rivals Sheffield by 49-41 at the Eddie Wright Raceway a fortnight ago, and will be looking to record their second successive home victory. Ryan Burton will cover for Scorpions in place of Josh Bailey. More news will be revealed very soon regarding the No 7 position for Scorpions. Meanwhile, Kyle Howarth will guest for bottom-of-the-table Bandits’ injured No 1 Nick Morris, and Layne Cupitt comes in as a guest at No 7. Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey says: “It’s fair to say that the season has not gone according to plan for either us or the Bandits, and both clubs find themselves at the wrong end of the table, which is where no-one wants to be. “But our approach will stay the same. We set out to win every fixture we take part in, to finish as high up the table as we possibly can. Likewise, Berwick will be seeking a victory to close the gap on us. “The presence of our old friend David Howe definitely adds some interest in the meeting. “It is certainly going to be very strange seeing David park his bike on the ‘wrong’ side of the pits and come out wearing a white or yellow/black helmet colour! “I’m sure it’s going to be a meeting containing the usual thrilling racing around the Eddie Wright Raceway. We won’t be under-estimating the Bandits and will be looking to ensure that we emerge from the meeting with the three points.” There are 21 heats of action in total on Sunday, including a six-heat second half Northern Junior League match between Halifax Dukes and Berwick Border Raiders.

He's 250cc now and has been for 2 years? Thought it was 500 and 125/150 cc in NJL. My pick would be Josh Pickering as a guest for Jye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 i believe its rob branford "We visit Scunthorpe today with guests Kyle Howarth, Robert Branford and Layne Culppit kindly helping the team out in what is a very tough time for the Bandits." from facebook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 He's been sh*te for Sheffield both times this season at Scunny looking at the updates! Was thinking about going as I have nothing planned for today but think I'll just catch up on GP instead, I hope I get proved wrong by Branford but oh well.

Paul Johnson Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Not too sure where rob lives, im guessing around or in sheffield so makes sense being close to scunny and on short notice to guest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four riders at No 3 and No 4 are 250cc riders. All the best Rob Edited June 25, 2017 by lucifer sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 All four riders at No 3 and No 4 are 250cc riders. All the best Rob Is that due to the European 125cc championships in Torun? Has special dispensation been given for this meeting to be run with 250's instead of 125/150's, makes sense if so because both Berwick riders are at Torun I think.

I think there is an option to run with 250cc riders, if 125/150cc riders are unavailable. To be honest, if all four riders are on the same bikes, it's not a problem is it? Further track time for the riders, which is what it's all about. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstormer Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Not for first time against Berwick at Scunthorpe A certain referee mucks it up. Same happened last year. Just general inconsistency. Bandits must have rued Bridger and Etheridge absence today. A win for sure gone astray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Berwick just miss out on a point, even with a depleted team. Plenty effort but with the injuries we have suffered we are always up against. What was Wilkinson up to with Howe, pick on someone your own size you big bully.
