Lionsman66 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 This will be a close 1. Think Lions reserves will struggle so that may the clincher for the Scorpions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebaron Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Really enjoyed our first meeting yesterday at Sheffield. Lots to enthuse about because we might have faced a Tigers barrage !. But we were unlucky not to take a point for our efforts ! Given that Tigers had more "track time" on Owlerton 41-49 was pleasing. Jake Allen after a first race fall got right on it leading the score card with 13. With Scorpions providing 8 of the 15 heat winners. Stefan Nielsen came up with two of them and Josh Auty & Jason Garrity both weighed in with 8 & 7 respectively. Got to say our "New boys" impressed me Jedd List looks "a candidate" at this level. Competative in each of his three rides on a new track to him. Once he's settled in he'll be a find ! While reserves Josh Bailey with a great second heat win over Tigers red hot prospect (and top scorer) Drew Kemp and Ryan Kinsley both looked on the pace and able to make the step up from the NL this season. We need to be patient give these young guys the chance to find their feet and not be hasty to change the team at the first ? Youth is the way forward with British Speedway and that's in the DNA at Scunny. I'm really excited about watching the likes of Jedd; JB and Ryan breaking through we need to give them time! Should be a good meeting v Lions Nicholls; Richie Worrall ' "Basher" Bates and the quick return of are very own "Son of the Scun" Flying Ryan Douglas is sure to make this a close run thing. Sure the 2019 Scorpions will be determined to "tame em" ! Edited April 1, 2019 by the outsider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Sorry to put my oar in but after my experience of the NL I would favour Thomas and Mountain over Kinsley and Bailey. Does that change the score enough? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Some classic EWR racing to open the season. Nice to get a Scorpions win... Leicester fully deserving a point for their efforts in what was a great meeting. Lots to action to reflect on; Worrall's pass on Garrity in heat 5 .. Wow! Allen and Douglas trading passes almost every bend in heat 7.. Wow! Passing galore and a great 5-1 for Leicester in heat 10.. Wow! Ryan Kinsley rounds and beats Nicholls in heat 11.. Wow! Ryan Kinsley repeats his heroics to win a fantastic heat 12.. Wow! Leicester on a 5-1, reversed to a Scorpions 5-1 in a stupendously close heat 13.. Wow! Shame this meeting wasn't covered on tv... what a great advert for speedway. More of the same next week please Edited April 5, 2019 by Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Reading posts by others it seems it was a very entertaining evening. Looking at the scorers, even a slightly below average points return from Scotty would have got the Lions over the line tonight. A point is nothing to be sniffed at though and if we can remain competitive away, we will surely be right up there when it comes to the league. (This prediction is as certain as the outcome of Brexit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montie Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 An excellent meeting last night ,some fantastic racing from both sides on a well prepared track just shows what entertainment most riders can produce when given a track to race on, well done to both teams 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Crickey where do I start! Last night our speedway had just about everything to please us fans. Couldn't of asked for more. Brilliant speedway. Passes galore! Well done first to our 2 young reserves. they come up to the mark. Well done both lads. Our regular riders started were they left off last year. Well done to those too. Team certainly looking good for this year! The only thing to spoil what could have been a perfect night was how bloody cold it was and the sound system. On the stand in front of the tapes. we couldn't hear what was being said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 The announcer in the box is not the clearest, I am not sure if he is holding the microphone too close to his mouth or he just mumbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulvik Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Last night at the ewr was as good as ever an early contender for race of the year was heat 7 with Jake Allen and Ryan Douglas passing and repassing for fun. Then heat 13 saw 4 abreast on the back straight going into the 3rd bend on lap 2. Totally commitment from all 4 riders. A great advert for the sport . Hard fast racing all night with all 14 riders leaving in one piece. Ryan Kinsley's 2 heat wins on the bounce beating Scott Nicholls as if the 7 times British champion was stood still will do lots for the lads confidence and I'm sure it won't be long before Jedd List is scoring points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
