Bandits V Sheffield 29th July Sgb Championship


Recommended Posts

Another tough meeting on the agenda as Sheffield chasing a playoff place come to town.

For the Bandits it will be a home debut for new signing Nickolaj B Jakobsen, with the usual guest required at No 7. Tigers look to be at full strength with Howarth back in the saddle following his recent injury. My Prediction 45-45.

It should be a good close contest. If the Tiger's put in a performance like they did on Thursday at Owlerton they will take some stopping. I will take the Tiger's just to nick it. UTT

Saturday and the sun is shining. At the start of the season I had Sheffield down to win the league, I thought they were stronger in every department and I still think that is the case. Their first visit to Shielfield this season, but Grajczonek and Kurtz have already guested for Berwick. Three strong heat leaders and very decent second strings. I also thought they were strong at reserve (especially round Berwick, where Rob Branford flies), but injury put paid to that.

Looking forward to seeing Busk Jakobsen in Berwick colours, he normally goes well around here. Berwick have shown plenty of fight in the meetings against Ipswich and Glasgow, so if that continues we should be in for a good meeting.

Hopefully the weather will get a few along and there is always a decent following from Sheffield. I know the promotion have been working hard to bring the kids in during the school holidays.

eastbourne and plymouth rained off, only mildenhall on

It's rediculous imo because they will have the rider thats at number 7 tonight's name in the programme but not announce it until the day of the event, the programme will be sent to print on tuesday/wednesday...

 

Fair to say Berwick`s press releases, and the way they keep their supporters up to date has not been great this season.

The fans don't need to know beforehand will find out when they get their programme ;););)

Not sure it would work geographically or time wise but I see that three meetings were called off earlier today at NL tracks, maybe that freed up riders for the club to consider though getting them from Eastbourne, Mildenhall and Plymouth to Berwick for seven could be a bit of an obstacle.

 

Edit, Berwick guest at No7 tonight will Joe Lawlor.

Fantastic Management move from the Bandits management bringing in Joe Lawlor.

 

Thanks.

Another eventful meeting. Sheffield building a lead, the Berwick curse strking NBJ in heat 4, obviously trying too hard in his first race, that looked a bad one, especially when he never moved for a while. Then the comeback. Cracking bit of team riding between Doolan and Etheridge to keep the much faster Howarth out. Berwick got a point ahead at the interval. Then heats 11 and 12 where Sheffield twice gained an advantage from 3-3 positions. Heat 14 I thought Jye just ran out of steam, certainly cannot fault his effort, he has been a great signing along with David Howe who also rode well tonight.

Sheffield look very solid throughout, while Berwick just carried too many tonight. NBJ will hopefully score a lot more, he had to be affected by his first ride fall.

Even though the track was a bit one lined, there was still some cracking races, passing in more than half the races.

At least the juniors won.

No complaints from me, value for money. Berwick looked to be on their way to a proper hammering but credit to them for pulling the meeting right round before Sheffield took control towards the end. Night to forget for Gappmaier but more good things from Etheridge and Howe.
