Bojangles Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 A big clash towards the top of the league - even at this stage of the season. Both teams coming off recent back-to-back wins, and it was pretty close when they met at Mildenhall. Oxford look a bit weak at reserve with Kelsey Dugard and Luke Killeen both out - replaced by Sam Woods and Kai Ward. Oxford Chargers: 1. Jordan Jenkins, 2. Jacob Clouting, 3. Henry Atkins, 4. Jody Scott, 5. Ryan Kinsley, 6. Sam Woods, 7. Kai Ward Mildenhall Fen Tigers: 1. Alfie Bowtell, 2. Arran Butcher, 3. Ben Trigger, 4. George Congreve, 5. Lee Complin, 6. William Richardson, 7. Josh Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Will Killeen actually make it back on track this season? Is it more serious than they thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Oxford will have to work a bit harder with weaker reserves but Richardson hasn't proven to be much of a threat so a lot relies on Warren. Top 5s for both sides have been excellent but Atkins on a hot streak at the moment could be differnce maker. Home win but a decent push. (Secretly keeping fingers crossed for 46-44 and a super heat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard he flew to Poland to have an operation on his wrist to speed the process up. Think he'll still be back, but these things take time I guess. He did say he wouldn't come back until he was fully fit - citing Jack Thomas trying to rush back last season and doing more harm than good to his wrists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 If I was Oxford, I'd have moved Atkins to number 5. Seems in great form, so would make a potent heat 13 pairing with Jenkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton Boughen now guesting for Ben Trigger. That might actually make Mildenhall slight favourites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted June 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Solid win for the Chargers tonight. It was all a bit nervy in the first few heats, but they pulled clear for a comfortable win in the end. Oxford need to sort the reserve situation out otherwise it'll come back to bite them at some point, but I think Jenkins and Atkins are probably the strongest pairing in the league at the moment.

Anzum Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Clouting drops to reserve after tonight which will help them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted June 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 Just read the report of the meeting on the Mildenhall website, were they watching a different meeting to me? It's one of the most bitter reports of a team that were well beaten I've seen in a while. Somehow mechanical gremlins and bad referring decisions were the reason they lost... http://www.mildenhall-speedway.com/index.php/latest-news/305-report-oxford-v-mildenhall-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
