Al Stewart Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 I suspect the Bandits think they can come and win this one, like the Bullets last week. We shall see. They certainly know the track. No surprises in the lineups. Big test for the new Monarchs. WTF MONARCHS: Sam Masters (capt.), Lasse Fredriksen, Paco Castagna, Kye Thomson, Josh Pickering, Jacob Hook, James Sarjeant. FTS BANDITS: Chris Harris (capt.), Ty Proctor, Theo Pijper, Leon Flint, Ricky Wells, Jye Etheridge, Kyle Bickley. As with all Armadale matches this season, Friday’s match will be Live Streamed.

Jaizer Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 The 3 established Aussies and the sarj should all be strong at home and likely only need a few points from the new riders to get the win. But if the Ricky Wells from last season's play off shows up could be a good night for the bandits...can only hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Tough one to call, looks the weakest Monarchs team I can remember for a while, but Berwick don't go well at Armadale normally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Is Theo Pijper likely to be fit after his grass track crash last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick don’t go well at Armadale normally is such an out of date and ill informed statement. Theo Pijper and Ricky Wells have both won titles for the monarchs, Wells scored 14 last season in the play offs, Chris Harris scored paid double figures both times last season for Birmingham, Jye Etheridge got paid for double figures from number 1 at Armadale last season, he’s going to be at reserve on Friday, Leon scored paid 14 guesting for Plymouth last season, Proctor normally only scores a couple, as does Bickley, but Kyle got to ride the track last week so should have a bit of an advantage. We should be looking to win on Friday, and it will be a failure if we don’t pick up a point minimum imo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see where we are going to get heat advantages from tbh. think Berwick will win this by around 6/8 points no bother at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others are right though, barring a complete disaster we need to be aiming for a point at the very least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Berwick by 6 as my prediction, but Hook/Fredrikson are both fairly unknown in terms of how good they’ll be tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 First time I can recall the monarchs in team suits. Pains me to say it but look pretty smart. Still odd seeing the sarj in one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
