Shaleshifter Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 The Pirates take on the Edinburgh Monarchs this coming Wednesday after a three week gap without a home fixture. The last home meeting against the Berwick Bandits being rained off two weeks ago. The Monarchs have in thier ranks a top two who are more than capable of lowering the colours of Pooles top three. Josh Pickering was one of the best visiting riders to Wimborne Road last season. Sam Masters also rides Poole very well. The Monarchs appear to have a long tail and I don't expect Jacob Hook or Lasse Fredriksen to score many points on thierf Wimborne Road debuts. Paco Castagna I am not sure if he rode at Poole for Birminghsm last season. That leaves Kye Thomson and James Sargeant. Kye rode quite well on his debut at Poole last season before fading later on. James Sargeant has been around a while and seems to have gone backwards. Whilst you must not underestimate the Monarchs I expect the Pirstes to win this encounter and collect 3 points. Thoughts?

Yes, Kye was good on his debut but then got zero in KOC Final, so who knows what he is going to do! Quite hard to predict when they have a few riders who never rode at Poole yet! They did well at Glasgow though so be foolish for anyone to write them off. Looking forward to it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Sarj 4.42 from 1st June, should be able to get a decent guest. Edit - depends who else riding on Weds but Ty Proctor, Dillon Ruml, Lee Complin, Dan Thompson. Edited May 28, 2022 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Lasse must be a doubt after his off on Friday night, not forgetting WTF Monarchs are at Plymouth on Tuesday where anything can happen. If your going take a few pens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Its r/r for Lasse at 2 and Jason Edwards at reserve (7) for Sargeant. Only Paco and the reserves can take the r/r rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Edinburgh no threat but hopefully they make the gate and give our boys some passing practice. Masters is certainly good at Poole as is Pickering. 3 points to Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 According to the meeting preview on the Poole website Masters has an unbeaten winning percentage of 68% and Richard Lawson's is 70%!! So H13 going to be interesting for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Monarchs got any former MX riders? If so they could spring a result, If they grew up on nice smooth tracks then will be an easy win for Poole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Once again, looking forward to my first visit to Wimborne Road this season after the Berwick rain off..........hopefully better look this time. Edinburgh, team not looking as strong as they are known for but Masters and Pickering should provide some good entertainment. Especially looking forward to seeing Pickering ride as gives it his all for all 4 laps. Will be interesting to see how Castagna, Hook & Thomson get on around Wimborne Road but I can't see them troubling the Pirates engine room too much. Pirates will be dominant overall though and I can see them winning 56-34. C'MON THE PIRATES 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 You can have both! Sounds a decent meeting at Wolves racing wise and they are comfortably beating Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Like to think there's a fair few Monarch's fans on the southern tour avin been at Plymouth last night. And fair play to the Monarchs as they nicked a point at the St Boniface Arena something us Pirates cudn't do! May be a little bit closer than I thought tonight? Or are the Monarchs just dialled in to the smaller tracks better? Anyways I need to get outta me Turnip bed to get me roots down to the Pirate Ship C'mon the Pirates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
