Edinburgh vs Workington KO Cup Semi, 1st leg, 28th September 2018, 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Teams as per Official Edinburgh Website:-

STAGGS BAR MONARCHS: Ricky Wells, Victor Palovaara, Josh Pickering, Richie Worrall, Erik Riss (captain), William Lawson, James Sarjeant (Guest).

WORKINGTON THOMAS ARMSTRONG COMETS: Nicolai Klindt, Rasmus Jensen, Kevin Doolan (Guest), Rene Bach, Ty Proctor, Kyle Bickley, Mason Campton.

Apparently this weekend will be last time that the Comets will be able to use a guest for the unlucky Dan Bewley, as the Green Sheets for October will move him down to fourth in their averages.

Since the teams last met at the Dale the Monarchs are weakened at reserve by the loss of Joel Andersson who had been scoring heavily at home prior to his injury.

How this match will go is anybody's guess, as Worky won 46 - 44 in the Shield and  were then thrashed 65 - 25 in the League at the end of August, but Monarchs were well beaten in their last home match by Berwick.

Weather forecasts for both home & away legs are good at the moment.

Didn't think I would heading to Edinburgh again this season :cry: not my favorite place :D

This will all depend on the track prepared I think, I don't think Edinburgh will let themselves get caught out again like they did against Berwick the other week. We can expect a bumpy ride !!

Anything can better than we were there last time ,but the home advantage Edinburgh hold , I reckon will take them through in the end

The Edinburgh track staff did a superb job of rescuing the track before the Berwick match after heavy rain virtually all day and a 40-minute delay to let them relay the surface once the rain went off.  

They deserve every plaudit for their efforts, and in fact there were some pretty good races when the match got going.      They didn't "let themselves get caught out" and all that happened was the Bandits were making superb starts early doors.     Nowt to do with the track.

As for various Worky people here suggesting Kevin Doolan is a poor choice of guest, he seemed OK in that one -- paid ten from four, I think.

Can't believe I am saying this but good luck Monarchs at least with Monarch fans we (weegies) get the usual banter, so hopefully Monarchs hump the Comets, as their fans come across as envious moaners who play the victim role. The Comets team have done very well this year and deservedly so , but certain fans seem to think that other teams should jump to their demands because they have a problem fitting their fixtures in after not having any during the long hot summer.

Here’s hoping then they can arrange KOC final at ease with Glasgow any day they choose... oh wait!!!
