SteveLyric2 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 So I can't believe this one has slipped through the net?! Both teams line up in their full 1-7s, with Lions just making a change to the riding order for Dan at 4 and Connor at 2. Last time the Lions came to Wimborne Road in early June they won by 4 points with Dan Thompson their trump card at reserve top-scoring with 11+2 from 6 rides. Thats not going to happen again plus Pirates are riding in top form at the moment. Its nice and sunny with a warm(ish) breeze on the South Coast today - no rain forecast but will doubtless be colder this evening. I'll go with 49-41 to Poole on the night. Thoughts......?

When you look at the teams it seems obvious that there won't be much between them overall, Danny King had a poor night last time Leicester were at Wimborne Road too, obvious weak links are Ablitt and Joe Thompson so Zach will have to be somewhere near his best, I believe the turning point at Leicester was Kemp and Zach getting a 5-1 in heat 14. This meeting could go either way but I think and hope we can edge it overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Heats are detailed in SR 11.1.29, each team manager nominates riders for 3 additional heats and the first team to score a heat advantage wins. Scoring is usual 3-2-1-0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If still a draw after three golden heats there will be three more and so on. Could be there all night but I don't think it will come down to golden heats!

Mike0310 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 I feel a bit better about the demolition we took at Wimborne road last week with our patchwork team,that Leicester with there a full team could only muster the same score. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Championship league leaders and odds on favourites for the title Leicester Lions got their paws clipped tonight by a battling Poole Pirates. It was a very good meeting on a well prepared track and lots of very entertaining heats. I think when Poole had opened a 10 point league Stewart Dickson told his team to not take risks. No point chasing something that had got away from them and a bigger meeting at Edinburgh on Friday. Thing is, Steve Worrall had bike issues in his first two rides. What would the score have been had he not had these issues? All the Poole boys are riding well, and I include Nathan in that. He’s battling to the best of his ability. But it was refreshing to see both Drew Kemp and Zack Cook bring their A game. Rider of the night was Ben Cook, with an amazing pass of Howarth on the very last bend which brought the house down. Richard Lawson also unbeaten. Pirates head to Scotland on Sunday for a very tough and challenging meeting in the first leg of the Championship Semi-Finals. Back to Poole next Wednesday for the second leg. If, and it’s a big if, Poole were to meet Leicester in the final, the two meetings this week will be meaningless. Now Pirates meet Redcar in the KO Cup final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see Ben Cook v Basso in heat 1 next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
