cometbaz Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Good result but very poor meeting. All won from the gate. Was more passing in the junior meeting that followed than the main match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Disappointed not to pick up a point Good to see the Cam we all know is in there show himself tonight Whilst not scoring reports suggest Drew was pretty much on the pace Very much hope in 2-3 years we see his battles with Bickley being at the higher end of the top league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an arm wrestle to get the job done tho with a couple of, shall we say, under par performances but a wins a win and stopping Ipswich getting anything is a bonus considering how well they were going? Any news on Schlein after the meeting ended, had to make an abrupt exit tonight and never heard anything else beforehand, took a right clout into the fence.... hope he's OK!!

Carlislecomet2 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I was really looking forward to this one, but it turned out to be a stop start non event. The tone was set when in order to ensure the meeting was run before the forecasted rain came the parade was cancelled, only for the racing to be delayed due to lack of medical cover! From there on in the meeting didn't ever take off, with very little if any overtaking and every race being ftg. Hopefully no one incurred any serious injuries, though the track did not appear to be in anything like the condition it has been. Possibly due to the recent weather. For the Comets Rene was our trump card yet again, ably supported by Ty and Nicolai. Most of the witches picked up points when they gated, with young Drew Kemp on the pace and looking a prospect. As for Rory the hint of rain in the air and the small puddle on the inside of bend 4 obviously did for him, with his spill in heat 13 putting the tin cap on it - hopefully he wasn't badly hurt. I guess the 3 points are the main thing, however it is not one to live in the memory for long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelShoe Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I thought this one was going to be close and it was for most of the meeting. The track was surprisingly disappointing producing very few passes and appearing to catch a lot of riders out. There was never more than 4 points between the teams until the Comets took a stranglehold with a 5-1 in heat 13 which also seen Rory Schlein taking a nasty looking tumble. For the Comets Rene, Ty and Nicolai underpinned the victory with strong performances. For the Witches who incidentally won 5 of the first 7 heats Cameron Heeps was best on the night but there was good support from Riss, Garcia and Worrall. If Rory Schlein hadn't had what was a poor meeting for him then the Witches would have got something and no one could have begrudged them that. So a good 3 points then in our quest to reach the playoffs. Next up are the Redcar Bears away which will be just as hard fought and is a great opportunity to get some more points in the bag. However, the Bears have strengthened lately so it won't be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted August 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 All riders last night showed great commitment , so another win and all the points, Ipswich were a bit hit and miss the star for them surprisingly was Heeps. Schlein took a nasty tumble on bends three and four, hope will be ok. The meeting was not helped by delays some unavoidable by crashes, would have liked to have watched the second half lads but it was getting late.

Witches a bit disappointing, thought Covatti would have been better he looked quite classy on telly for Somerset, Heeps their best rider. Fab result for our guys, Nicola and Ty sealing the meeting in heat 13 leaving witches to get two 5-1’s in last two heats. Another step closer to the playoffs .
