We've only had a hand full of meetings, bloody hell. :o

Plus, he jointly top-scored for Rye House at Wolverhampton on Monday. 

Not going on about Leicester. Only Harris a couple of iffy scores for Glasgow.

Hardly an achievement considering the whole team was rubbish at Wolves.

Well it's been a long old wait, but finally got our first home meeting of the season done and dusted... and very good it was too! Fair to say it had a little bit of everything, the Allen/Newman incidents, including some great races between the two of them, good racing (full marks to the track team for track prep), close scoreline and more importantly a Rebels win. Gets a TEN from LEN!

He even pole axed our New Zealand (World??) Champion as well!!

That was the way I saw it, but Willowman stood next to me thought BWD binned it. People on the backstraight were up in arms when BWD was excluded so I assumed there was plenty of contact also! If there was contact, another error to go on the ref's list for the evening!

I can't repeat the words used by Brad as to what happened when i asked him after he got off the parade truck!! Let's just say he wasn't lying on the track for nothing!

You could see on the patio that the pole had moved to the right. But the ref made a faux pas there.

Not the only one tonight he made either! Only he saw that Kyle Newman finished third in heat 6........ when Jake actually beat him easily with a hard but fair pass on bends 3/4. Kyle seemed happy to dish it out in heat one with a hefty shoulder charge to knock Jake off but didn't take it when the boot was on the other foot in heat 6.
