chunky Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I wasn't sure how to title this, but hopefully this was okay... On July 31, 1975, Cradley visited Oxford in the Inter-Divisional KO Cup. The Rebels won 43-35. Top scorers for the home side were Lovaas with 11, and Greer and Kennett with 10 each. Boulger led United with 12, and Cribb got finished on 11. Had Garry Middleton taken second place in Heat 3, he would have finished on 10, and so would Dag Lovaas. So, this got me thinking. Have there been any occasions where both teams have had three riders finish on double figures? I am referring specifically to 13-heat matches (there have been many instances in 16-18 heat matches). It doesn't necessarily have to be all heat-leaders (that does limit it quite a bit), and there will obviously be some R/R or T/S rides involved, but it was something that just got the old brainbox working... Yes Steve, I know I'm peculiar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve roberts Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I've tried sourcing some examples but without luck so far. I'm generally targeting 'top heavy' teams who had three decent riders but suffered with a long tail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
