Now that was a tactical lay down from Ben Cook Expand It certainly was and we were never going to get away with that in a month of Sundays. Ref was bound to award it. Lawson wasn’t close enough. Not a great deal of passing but kept tense for the bonus point, which went down to the wire due to Pirates dreadful performance at Cowley and a few incidents in tonight’s meeting. Ben Cooks EF when leading cost us the bonus but Scott Nicholls had bike problems. The roller in heat 13 for Masters was let go by the trainee ref, which the who grandstand saw. Sod’s Law as in the first running Poole were on a 5-1 out of the second bend when Nicholls fell. Never the same result in a rerun. A huge crowd there tonight showing Poole’s pulling power. Someone said there was only one turnstile? There are 6 in total to enter the stadium, all open. Masters and Nicholls showing their liking for Wimborne Road. But Oxford are a two man team and were easily beaten tonight. And Heeps will be back in the team come the playoffs meaning Atkins and Killeen at reserve. But congrats to Oxford in the bonus. Went to fine margins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast1rn Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Who's better at six Newman or Rowe? Cause if the goal is to keep Anders there for the playoffs he probably hasn't got the message yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hmmmm not sure Oxford are a 'two man team' whe Kerr is also averaging over eight. Bit disrespectful to Jenkins too.
