SomersetBlue Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 1. Martin Vaculik 2. R/R 3. Danny King 4. Krystian Pieszczek 5. Hans Andersen 6. Kyle Newman 7. James Serjeant 1. Jason Doyle 2. Jake Allen 3. Charles Wright 4. Jack Holder 5. Richard Lawson 6. Jonas Jeppesen 7. Bradley Wilson- Dean Only a challenge match so doesn't really matter about the score. Obviously a big crowd puller with Vaculik v Doyle. I think it's going to be close with no Bates and Pieszczek not having ridden in Britain before.

Happy Hunter Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 We really should not have to rely on another club's web site to find out the make up of the Lion's team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF it looked quite a bad injury. He couldn't even walk on it. So fair play to him for riding on for Somerset. Would have been easier to duck today. Shows his commitment to British speedway 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRacer Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 RR for Bates is not up to the job. Need to do better for league matches. Once Vacilik gets going, and no2 is sorted out, they should be in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennylion Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 MV - disappointed but will be fine. First race left bend 2 couple of bike lengths in front. Turned away and then Doyle was in front. DK - very good but should never appear in ht15 despite how good he appears earlier. Can see him adding to his average and slamming a few 5-1's in with KP KP - started off ok and got better and better. Took some adjusting to the man hole cover on turns 3-4 but then was excellent. HA - was excellent. KN - not far off the pace JS - similar to Newman. Not sure he's worth his average but was there or there abouts. Hopefully bit of improvement will see him support Newman. RR - seems not strong enough with JS and KN. KP improvement could be damage limitation. All in all a reasonable showing with scope to improve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Entertaining meeting for a challenge match, not amazing but still entertaining. For Leicester Andersen, King and Pieszczek were excellent with Newman aiding with his 7 rides. Vaculik was poor considering but he will improve. R/R and Sarjeant were the let downs. Get a replacement for Bates and when Vaculik gets going, this is a very good Leicester side. For Somerset I went away very happy as an away point would have been achieved in a league meeting. Doyle, Holder and BWD were the pick of the bunch for us. Especially BWD beating Andersen in heat 4. Jeppesen was out of shape in heat 2 but unknown track for him, was never off the pace. Allen, Wright and Lawson were very inconsistent throughout the meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
