Steve Shovlar Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 A rare Sunday teatime treat at Wimborne Road on Sunday at 5pm as Pirates take on the Edinburgh Monarchs. A decent forecast with the risk of an afternoon shower but at the moment nothing to rain off the meeting. Not sure just yet who Pirates will be using as a guest. Nathan Ablitt should be a good shout imo. Would like an update on Adam Roynon injury, to give us an indication of if he will be back this year. Edinburgh bring along Craig Cook and Josh Pickering who both do OK around here. Interested to see Bastian Borke as he looked impressive at Berwick a couple of weeks ago. But really the Monarchs are of no serious threat and we should win this one very comfortably. Are Monarchs at full strength or using r/r ? A big crowd expected. Games open at 4pm.

Has Cook had his bikes released by the police yet? I hear we will have a different start Marshall on Sunday due to holiday absences. Hope the ref keeps a close eye on movement at the starts......!

Kent are riding Sunday, so probably rules out Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickinho Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Should be an easy victory for the Monarchs with Dayle Wood getting an 18 point maximum 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle is quite able to hit the ground on his own - as last night indicated!! Edited August 17, 2023 by Skidder1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your “concern” Yes Craig has only just got his bike back but you don’t break a light standard in half without causing damage and, yes I hope the ref has his / her eyes on ALL riders at the start 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'll be traveling down again on Sunday for this one & looking forward to a Pirates victory over an Edinburgh team that av hopefully beaten Oxford a couple of days before. Me thinks it's a 54-36 victory for the Pirates but with 3 Cooks on display there may well be the occasional spicy moment!

Steve Shovlar Posted August 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 A shame for Adam through no fault of his own. Broken shoulder blade will take time to heal and time is not something readily available at the end of august. Doubt Joe Thompson will do as good a job but the best of what is available. Welcome Joe and we all hope you can get dialled into the Wimborne Road circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Welcome on board the Pirate Ship Joe Thompson A youngster I have seen develop alongside his brother Dan at Leicester. Let's all get behind Joe because he has had his confidence issues and now is the time we need all 7 Pirates riding collectively at their best. Will miss Adam and hope he has a speedy recovery. C'mon the boyzzzzz! Edited August 19, 2023 by lbw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a job for the captain with advice as the quicker he settles in the better it will show in the scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed paid 4 points as an absolute minimum from heats 2 and 8 alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
