berwick v glasgow sat 13th april


Recommended Posts

Decent meeting, the racing was a lot closer than last week. There may not have been a lot of passing, but there was certainly a few intriguing races, such as Dany and NBJ holding off a charging Cook on a T/S, Leon holding off Rasmus Jensen and on the flip side Sarjeant holding off firstly Doolan, then NBJ. 

A few passes, the more memorable ones were Sarjeant passing Doolan and Cook passing Summers, both using a seldom seen before inside line off the fourth bend. 

Two of the young riders in the league, Kyle Bickley and Leon Flint, both having good performances over the weekend. The future is bright.

Always good to see Glasgow down, with a big following, their supporters always make it a big match type atmosphere. 

Also a word for the way the meeting was run last night. Helped by the fact there was no serious incidents, 15 heats done and dusted by half past 8. Leaves plenty time for any junior racing and interviews for those who want to stay, those who don't can be away in a decent time.

Very much gate and go but racing fast and close , rasmus must be on a good guarantee  as he just didnt look interested, kyle looked a lot quicker and well done sarge no tapes ex and rode best have seen him.very sporting of craig to shake hands with the 2 berwick lads who done well to get a 5- 1 over him on a tac sub NOT!

As good as Jensen was on Friday he was equally as poor last night, too early in the season for any knee jerk reactions to be honest. I am more concerned on Vissing away from home he seems to be a passenger most of the time and not what is required as back up.

Guarantees as stated no chance after last season.

Vissing is a gater,fine on slick tracks.Thats about it with him IMO.Early season but he was poor last night considering he used to to ride there.Cooks average will hinder you in away matches IMO,unless like last night Sarjeant has a good meeting ,but the rest have to be “on the ball”.

Bandits to win this one 52-38 . Cookie & Claus should score well, depends on what kind of backup they receive. Bandits probably have the edge at reserve. Hopefully a good safe meeting.

Getting good at this prediction game :D

A solid Bandits win, with the Heat 8 disposal of the ever-sporting Cookie Monster a highlight.    For those who stayed on, the second half saw local boy Mason Watson (#8) who is the first to make the colours straight from the Duns track looking very good for such limited experience, plus a really assured showing by Jedd List, who was so badly treated at Scunthorpe.   All in all, a good night at the skids.

Heat 8 is protected so Craig the sportsman wasn't out until heat 9 just saying like, as for that old saying show me a good loser and I will show you a loser springs to mind.  Craig is certainly not that.

Nobody’s having a pop but it would have been nice to see a handshake considering how hard they rode to ensure he didn’t pass!

He doesn’t have a sportsman attitude though.Not a lot do do with good loser,acknowledging your fellow professionals is the right thing to do.

What winner does have that attitude though, anyway it matters not You ran out deserved winners on the night plain and simple.

He may will have after the race he was clearly disappointed immediately after the heat had finished, but fair paly to the Berwick lads they rode a terrific 4 laps to keep him at bay.
