Bagpuss Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 And the other qualifiers. I guess the only shock was Wright, on paper the eighth spot looked between him and Bewley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Alot of people wrote Auty and Garrity off both in my opinion should be in the Premiership was amazed Bjerre got the place over Auty at Belle Vue .Garrity as we all know from his Coventry days is a very talented rider when fit.

He probably wasn't offered a position in a Premiership team. Was regularly in the Bee's team, before their stadium issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the final is at the NSS, Bewley must be one of the favorites considering his form their this year, Kennett did better than I expected. I wouldn't imagine Owlerton would be on his list of favorite tracks and he has been injured recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I normally come on here to have a moan... there's so much to moan about, but last night the unthinkable happened!! I actually quite enjoyed a Speedway meeting for the first time in a long time! A nice evening, a well prepared track, the meeting being kept running at a good pace, 20 heats of good competitive action with some good racing all done in under 2 hours for £16! Now, if only every meeting could be like this... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't imagine Owlerton would be on his list of favorite tracks and he has been injured recently. It isn't really one of Kennett's better tracks I suppose, but I do seem to remember him having a storming PLRC once, but then suffering engine failure in the semi final. On paper I would have expected him to qualify from last night. Probably the only surprise was Charles Wright struggling so badly. Obviously there was all the controversy with Craig Cook being in last night and not next week, he never looked convincing at all but just managed to build up enough points without being in danger.

Steve55 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Best I've seen Kennett ride Sheffield last night, came out of the gate flying in his first heat and seemed to grow in confidence with each of his following rides, although he didn't get out fast enough in his last two heats. As for Cookie, well think he had other things on his mind but he did the necessary in his third and fourth heats after a slow start to his evening. He really had to push for it in heat 16 though to get the better of Wilko, just pipping him on the line. All in all it wasn't a bad meeting, apart from the surprisingly poor showing from Charles Wright (don't know what was happening there!). The young lad Bewley was the star of the show for me, nowt in his first heat then he showed what a talent he is in his next two rides. Garrity was really up for it, he was still fizzing at the presentation, could hardly tell a word he said when they gave him the mic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Of course you want as many British lads in the top league as possible, but you can understand why promoters have gone for other alternatives ahead of Garrity and Auty. Garrity can't seem to do a full season without an injury somewhere along the line and Auty has been around for over ten years and averages under five in the top league mainly due to poor gating. Both are good to watch and for me would add something to the Premiership but you can see why clubs might see other riders as more reliable options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people will find that Jason has not finished a season not injured for sometime. He superb to watch and probably one the most exciting British riders out there, he takes chances and risks that other riders don't dare unfortunately he is then at high risk of getting injured and with leagues been decided via play offs at the end of the season I think that Jason is viewed as a bit of liability. Maybe do what Kyle Howarth did a few seasons ago when move to Wolves and Sheffield and Kyle has made rapid improvements over those two seasons and taken his career to the next level, I believe that if Josh was to do the same he could also achieve what Kyle has achieved. But unfortunately Josh seems to be happy to stay in the comfort zone and lets face it Rob Godfrey would have a heart attack if Josh said he wanted a move.

mikec Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Couldn't agree more Spin King about Garrity. Followed him ever since his Colts days where he was part of a powerful NL spearhead with Howarth. He was always a risk taker, hasn't changed to this day. Don't know him personally but he strikes me as a volatile, confidence rider, is certainly on top of his game right now. Does he have a chance of making the rostrum at the NSS? Definitely imo. Looking at the potential field for June 11, think we are in for one of the best British Finals racing wise in recent years.
