eide67 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Teams from Oxford website but Sam Masters not able to return yet and is replaced by guest Kyle Howarth. I think Monarchs need at least a point to feel reasonably safe from the chasing pack for play-off qualification. MONARCH OXFORD CHEETAHS 1. Scott Nicholls (C) 8.57 2. Paul Starke 5.71 3. Jack Thomas R/R 5.57 4. Aaron Summers 6.21 5. Troy Batchelor 6.65 6. Cameron Heeps 4.07 7. Dillon Ruml 5.17 Team Manager: Peter Schroeck EDINBURGH WHAT THE FORK MONARCHS 1. Sam Masters (C) 10.60 Kyle Howarth (guest) 2. Lasse Fredriksen 4.00 3. Kye Thomson 7.06 4. Paco Castagna 4.92 5. Josh Pickering 8.67 6. James Sarjeant 3.64 7.

LisaColette Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Well Kye and Paco should be okay. Only just ridden there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham78 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Rain forecast for Oxford this afternoon through to early evening - what’s it like at the moment? Got a 120 mile round trip to make so weighing up the odds of the meeting going ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a 120 mile round trip to make so weighing up the odds of the meeting going ahead Problem is we are looking at potentially heavy thundery showers which tend to pop up out of nowhere, are very localised and don't show up well on rainfall radar. So it is a real lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham78 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Thanks Arneig. It’s very changeable at the moment so I think I’ll pass on it today If I lived closer to Oxford I’d chance it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Swindon 70 mile round trip, too risky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Howarth a strange choice of guest could pick anyone in league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow could have maybe used Brennan, Harris already riding at Birmingham for Coventry. Other options were really the other Leicester HLs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from riders from Poole or Redcar! Who would prob want round Oxford or Dane's riding in Denmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPanther Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Starke scoring just 2 pts, and Heeps running 3 consecutive lasts, cost Oxford dearly tonight... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Cracking win especially being 10 down half way through the meeting. Good to see josh back in form and good back up from the rest of the boys. Play off time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Another surprise home loss for the Ox. 4 wins, 5 defeats. Would have been heavier with Masters riding. Edited August 18, 2022 by auntie doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endeavour Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Well done boys. think we should tell Paco every race he is in is heat 14. Sam rumoured to be back Friday. Hope not a gamble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eide67 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Fantastic comeback from Monarchs to win and confirm our place in the play-offs. Brilliant team effort led by Josh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Butler Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Enjoyed the meeting but way too dusty. Can anyone explain why the white water truck was going round and round endlessly without apparently putting any water on the track for the most part?

Starke's only contribution was beating James Sargent once and Cam's contribution ended after heat 3. (up until then he was unbeaten), but 6 last places between them, when you consider they both started the season as heat leaders, that middle order has been a weak link. Kye Thomson has got better and better along with Hook all year. These two have gone the other way. Thank god Oxford signed Summers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
