If it did prob would have been around 7 last season. Both Cooks had bad spells earlier in the season but later in the season they were very good , this season they are both riding really well,we would struggle badly without them, i think riding in the premiership has helped both of them maybe Zach more than Ben.

A post from Shovlar pre season "Ben might be making better scores,but personally think Zach has more potential" looks like he could be right . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he maybe right but Ben is in a struggling team in the premiership so that could be why he hasnt progressed as much as Zach. Personally i think there isnt much between them potentially.

He also thinks Sams not a true no 1 yet his average is now 8.46 and he has beaten every other no 1 in the league at least once 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly has adapted to Monmore much quicker than Leon Flint.But starting off at Plymouth and not Berwick has probably had a lot to do with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach got paid 13 on his last visit to Ipswich, Ben would find that difficult to emulate but both are going well and improving Edited June 3, 2023 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJWolves Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Peterborough now have the same problem we had with Becker in that to replace Nicki Pedersen they can now only use a rider with a 25% lower average. With Leicester the only team not riding on Monday they will use Erik Riss at number 1. Should make for a comfortable home win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me wolfie Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Congratulations to Zach on his first full maximum in British Speedway. He's certainly adapted well to the track. Out of interest can anyone remember the last Wolves reserve to score a full maximum. It's certainly not been done in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
847084 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I have a vague recollection of Tom Leadbitter scoring 15 at the spoons. Was it at reserve? Someone will be along…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will be along…… 25 March 1972. Rode @ #7. Yep. Five ride 15pt max. I'm thinking he had wintered, racing in Rhodesia and came back fit and raring to go! Sadly missed.

I seen to remember Ronnie Correy at Kirky Lane getting 18 one night off six, riding at reserve.. I seem to also think he missed his first ride due to late arrival.. Maybe confusing two different meetings mind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 I may have remembered it incorrectly but I'm sure a young Adam Shields got 21 from 7 rides at reserve early on in his career over here, can't remember what team though, might have been Arena Essex ?

847084 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 1972 clearly a good year: Dave Gifford scored a paid max from reserve in May against Halifax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
