DSC67 Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Another good point ,picked up away from home puts the Bandits in pole position in the group 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Would have taken a point before the meeting, but disappointed not to take more having seen the way things ended. A point could still be vital, if we can beat Edinburgh at home tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Excellent performance from what was a four man team, one wonders if the away performances from our No3 position is under scrutiny. Great at home but is that enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right there didn't think we would be so close with a 4 man team no disrespect to Leon but Dany is an embarrassing away from home lost count of the points we lost from the last bend to the line hope Josh B is okay great ride from Kevin in heat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Enjoyable meeting with some good racing. Berwick so unlucky not to leave with all 3 points. The four who scored the points couldn’t be faulted. Leon can be excused for now, but Dany must improve his performances away from home. One decent gate, but was quickly swallowed up by the home riders. Impressed with Pickering with some breathtaking passes. There was some question over his win in heat 12, it looked as if Coty had pipped him, but we were nowhere near level to see. Unlucky not to be nominated for heat 15. Josh Bates was a very capable guest and scored about what I thought Nikolaj would. Hopefully he’s ok after his alarming looking heat 15 fall A point is a good, but could’ve been a cracking night for the Bandits with a bit of luck. Hopefully clinch a semi final place with a win at home on Saturday. Edited May 3, 2019 by Shadders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Should of won that like I predicted, pipped on the line twice by a very stylish Pickering, Doolan beat off Willy Lawson and Bates falling in ht15 whilst in the required position... Quicker we bring Theo in for Gappmaier the better imo, despite how good he is round Shielfield. Still a very good performance from Summers, Doolan and Coty and of course Bates done ok.

Gappmaier will drop to reserve soon enough, then the Bandits will really be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 I should be over the moon that yet again we’ve taken points from Armadale but at the minute I’m feeling gutted because it could have been so much more. And that close considering we only had 4 scoring riders too. id like to think that all being well and we win our home meeting tonight , with the Monarchs taking nowt, we should be safely into the Semi Finals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Yes that should be us into Semi’s now but how long do we have to put up with our team covering for R/R and our number 3 away from home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct Neil. Bandits must win tonight. If they do, their 14 points will guarantee qualification, either as group winners or 'fastest second'. Glasgow need two away wins to better them. But they must win tonight - - May the Fourth be with them! Edited May 4, 2019 by crescent girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Oops sorry guys, I knew a win was enough but had forgot a draw wouldn’t be, anyways it would be the biggest disaster of the season if we can’t beat that Edinburgh team tonight, my prediction is around 60-30 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 One for the anoraks: It's fair to say Berwick haven't done well in the Premier Trophy/League Cup/Championship Shield over the years since it was introduced in 1999. When, if ever, did the Bandits last qualify out of the group stage of this competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I was thinking the other day I cannot remember us ever qualifying out of it but I’m sure someone will have an answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) 2002 we were defeated by the Sean Wilson/Simon Stead led Sheffield. Less said about the PL meeting later that season. Edited May 4, 2019 by Robinh88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Slightly disappointing performance last night. 7 up with 3 to go should’ve been enough to see it out. Garcia was awkwardly annoying but effective making gates and becoming a human road block to whoever was behind. Still require more from Sedgmen, Lawson looked a bit better last night seemed a bit quicker and sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gappmaier is the problem, away from home anyway, I`m not quite sure that Theo Pijper is the solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
