Looking forward to re-newing the south coast rivalry, where Kyle will hopefully prove you very wrong..... :-). Thats got nothing to do with the post i quoted saying he wasnt on a bargain average,as i dont see kyle more than a 6.50 rider in the champ,dont get me wrong hes a 100% trier thats 1 quality thts admirable.

Welcome to Drew, sure he'll thrive in the Eastie family. Unless someone in the main body has a dreadful run, Drew and Jason should be at reserve all season, which can only be a good thing for 2 young riders in this league.

gazzac Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Eastie are really making an effort to get younger fans in, and was noticable last year how many leaned over the fence for high fives etc with the riders on parade/victory laps. The likes of Tom and Jason are relatable to them as they don't look a lot older than some of the crowd! Having another youngster can only be good, and as Richard says some out and out racers, may not win the league, but should be some good racing with this team.

Not excelled anywhere technical that i can recall so certainly a challenge although in a side built to keep him at reserve should favour all parties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been back on his bike for a while and now down in Australia getting more big track experience working with the Jason Crump training camp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 To be honest drew couldnt be assed at kent the 5 times i saw him, he didnt like the track at all, with a good run at reserve and confidence restored he should easily put a point on his average at the very least, nice team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 We are quite a positive lot at Eastie aren't we ? Just nice to see good positive posts from word go, not always the case on here at times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Well done Eagles for an all British team. Hope Drew does well (except against Kings ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of clubs will be jealous, especially if you can keep Drew for a few years and see him mature into a number one aged 20! About a point under the limit, but an all British team, excellent continuity from last season and three very good emerging young riders. Tom Brennan might drop a point and Drew put one on, so Lawson, Kerr and Newman will have to step up to be realistic challengers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the days when Eastbourne in the 70;'s when great rivals of the Brummies in 2nd Tier had an incredible conveyor belt of talent. I like the way they are not scared of giving youth a chance. It may not pay off right away but if they could have Brennan / Kemp / Edwards in 2-3 years time then this team would look very visionary. I'm not sure who is driving the vision down there as Jon Cook seems to be rarely mentioned and it's more Trevor Geer and Will Pottinger driving things forwards, but well done.

DC2 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 It's surprising that everyone saw Anders Rowe as a no brainer signing for Somerset but no one made Drew Kemp their first signing, regardless of their averages this season. Kemp is certain to add a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Over the moon Drew has signed. You could see the talent he possesses when he had a few outings for us a couple of seasons ago at reserve in the NL. A real "team" feel about this line-up.

teaboy279 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Anything but an eastbourne fan, but for the 2nd year running they have tracked a completley British team, and I can only compliment that. Hope kent follow suit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Decent team, all done and dusted nice and early. With the additions of Poole and Kent in the league, there should be some good local derbies next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
