Eagles v bandits 25 may


Recommended Posts

Big meeting for Eastbourne tonight and Georgie Wood, could be a season defining moment for both..Eastbourne need to bounce back with some good performances needed from a few riders and Georgie has got 3 engines back from having work done (Which has showed with his IOW results this week) Points needed from both club and a few riders..

Yes,I care.

I thought we would do better away from home this year,in this weakened league.

Everyone on here knows how much I have criticised our away performances in past years but come on? We had no chance at Eastbourne and even less so when our most experienced rider had to be replaced by 2 riders who had never seen the track before and 2 u18 2 point reserves. I’ve been to every away meeting up until tonight and can safely say we have been much improved, only problem has been Gappmaier but he done respectably at Glasgow and very well at Sheffield when some of our other riders struggled. We have won at Newcastle and scored 44 at Sheffield and Edinburgh in our first 4 away meetings, that’s better than any start to a season for at least 10/15 years.

Yes correct but does the average Berwick fan care ?

I didn't expect to win  but I thought we'd do better than that ,but I guess circumstances can change  losing KD definitely didn't help

Just as losing LK didn't help the Eagles. However, I think a home team will always cope better in such circumstances

Would have been an easy victory if the two riders had been able to continue but Eastbourne got 10+1 from Lewis's races and Berwick didn't beat an Eastbourne rider with Kev's races.:drink:

Depends what you mean by an “average fan”. I guess the vast majority of Bandits fans that attend home meetings are only interested in what happens between 7 & 9 on a Saturday evening.

I thought this meeting would be beyond the Berwick riders and so it proved, though I did think we could get a few more than 25. Best wishes to the two injured riders, Lewis Kerr who seems to have a shoulder injury and Kevin Doolan who was with drawn with a possible concussion, if that is confirmed that could rule him out of our next fixture against Newcastle in the KOC next Saturday.

Huge sigh of relief that Lewi Kerr is ok. (Eagles site / Twitter).

Have to say Georgie Wood in particular was really on it last night (even considering the opposition had an off night & the track had improved from last week).

Apologies - Of course good to see Kevin Doolan also is fine (Saw him helping out the Bandits in the pits after the incident).

You would have to ask Dick any news of Lewis and Kev good to see the amount raised for young Tom speedway fans the best
