crescent girl Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 This Saturday has Berwick Bullets taking centre stage in their first stand-alone match of the new season. Hopefully the Berwick public -- very enthusiastic at Bullets' matches last term -- will continue to support the NDL side. The line-ups (not in riding order) are expected to be: GHT Bullets: Kyle Bickley, Luke Crang, Greg Blair, Ben Rathbone, Ace Pijper, Mason Watson & Kieran Douglas. Chargers: Ben Hopwood, Jordan Jenkins, Sam Hagon, Luke Killeen, Arran Butcher, Nathan Stoneman & Jacob Clouting. In addition to cash at the turnstiles, the usual e-tickets are on sale -- £10 across the board -- from the usual site: https://www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Interesting looking match up and whilst one fixture doesn't make a season it does offer a decent indication. The Oxford side look good on paper with the reduced averages of the returnees Whilst the Bullets have plenty of home track knowledge and a couple of bargains in Crang and Blair. I think it should go to the home side but by just how much will depend upon luck and if Killeen gets his passport in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted April 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Saturday weather forecast offers a dry day, if not warm. But it is Berwick! Teams are -- on paper -- pretty evenly matched, could be an NDL classic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandits4eva Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Jordan Jenkins will be the real thorn to worry about tomorrow but I do believe we will otherwise be too strong for Oxford. I’ll say 51-39 to the Bullets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted April 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Late change for the Chargers. Sam Woods replaces Luke Killeen, who is awaiting issue of his UK passport. Bullets will enter this one cock-a-hoop, following tonight's big win, featuring a dream debut for 15-year-old Ace Pijper, at Armadale.

It’s a shame as I was looking forward to how Killeen would do so hopefully his debut isn’t delayed too long with the other riders getting upto speed quicker.

screm Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Weather is AOK this morning and set to stay that way. After last nights away win up at Armadale the home side should have enough to see off Oxford but a score line to something similar to what we saw last week with our Championship team against Birmingham.

szkocjasid Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I think Berwick will score more than they did at Armadale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 I'd be willing to bet Berwick top 60. I think Oxford are carrying to much baggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilly Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 A good effort from the Chargers, faller whilst leading and Jenkins coming down in heat 15, could have been much closer. Still got Killeen to come in as well. Very promising, especially after the Bullets away win last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was some misfortune on both sides with Berwick losing points from Piper's fall and Douglas appearing to lose power and rerun with Buckley miles in front after passing in heat 6. Wouldn't class Jenkins coming down in heat 15 as lost points as he t-boned Kyle causing a major crash. Take it there is no tactical's in the national League?
