Hunters Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 This looks a bit one sided, the Kings top 2 had a poor time in the Premier on Monday whilst Brennan had a super outing at Peterborough scoring 8 + 2 including beating Scottie Nicholls not once but twice. Only Bewley did better for the Aces. Meanwhile Kemp was 2nd top scorer for Ipswich with 6 although the team was slaughtered. They will have to do a lot better next Sunday and with a weak looking bottom 4 as well badly need Dan Gilkes to come good. Hope the Kings make some gates and I am wrong as there needs to be some interest in the second leg but around 60-30 will not surprise me.

solrac Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Think it will be closer than that, Gilkes is red hot at the moment, Hurry knows his way round Arlington, as do Nicholls and Morley. Think it will hinge on the performances of Heeps, Bacon and Starke. Hope you're right though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Crusader Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Gilkes won't be there he's in the U19 pairs. Guest is Jack Thomas. Will Cam Heeps be fit after his crash at Ipswich last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hope Gilkes gets a run out. Might be Drews home track but Anders and Dan are the riders in form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right....but still think it is going to be a big win for Eagles....something like 55-35? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 So much depends on gating at Arlington, even more so on hot sunday afternoon. That having been said difficult to see many points coming from Kents lower order and reserves at Arlington. Loss of Gilkes to another under "something or other" meeting a bonus for Eastbourne. Broc Nicol to top score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Broc Nicol is first class round Arlington and makes the match much more interesting. At least he is not reserve this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) I think this match could be closer than ppl think. Afternoon meetings are notorious for tricky conditions and kent have 2/3 trappers . maybe not !! Edited June 6, 2021 by ruckerroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Eastbourne Eagles : 58 Thankfully for Kent Nicholls and Starke got themselves as it would've been a lot worse. Unlucky on Lewis Kerr who seems to have picked up a collar bone injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 So much for my prediction of Broc Nicol top scoring .... that put the mockers on him. Kent will struggle to even win the second leg on their "home track" . Think the Eastbourne riders have ridden Central Park more than many of the Kent CL riders !

M.D Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Apart from Nicholls and Starke who got better as the meeting went on, Kent didn't turn up today, the rest was very poor indeed. Both Brennan and Kemp excellent for Eastbourne, Kennett seems under power to me. I would say a definite collarbone break for Kerr in what was an awkward looking spill, classic looking collarbone tumble although obviously I do hope I'm wrong.

Sadly Lewi pointed to his collarbone. Kennett very unpredictable so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could, surely Gilkes could have done. I wonder if as Gdańsk is Drew’s club in Poland would he have a bike or two already there and possibly Dan had to drive over with his equipment? - it does seem a strange one otherwise - perhaps someone in the know could take the time to expand on this - next week we will be without Tom and Drew who I think are on U21 call ups - and now minus Lewis it would seem - doesn’t seem right somehow - riding for your country at the expense of your club - best wishes to Lewis - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
