topaz325 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 So after two days of heavy rain in the north west , the weather on Friday and Saturday is set to be dry when the Oxford Cheetahs come to Workington looking for League points. The Cheetahs have a very strong top two heat leaders in Sam Masters and Scot Nichols backed up by Cameron Heeps , Jordan Jenkins and Henry Atkins.Also in the Oxford side are talented reserves Luke Killeen and hot prospect Ashton Boughen. The Comets are missing the flying Finn Antti Vuolas and is replaced by former Comet Connor Bailey . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you can't hold grudges in speedway, riders are at a premium and they swap clubs nearly every season anyways. Connor hasn't kicked on this season like I thought he might, only averaging 4.50. But is still capable of a good meeting now and then. Edited May 23 by Marksman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaramanga Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I do think voulas and visiting get in each others way at times Cookie and tate do ride real well together so be a shame to split them up but might be only option if voulas and visiting are separated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben basso rode at 3 for us most of last season because was only one in the team had some kind of understanding. Basically however wide claus would ride Ben just rode wider lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Oxford Lineup 1. Sam Masters – 9.05 2. R/R for Henry Atkins – 4.28 3. Cameron Heeps – 4.77 4. Jordan Jenkins – 5.89 5. Scott Nicholls – 8.54 6. Ashton Boughen – 3.38 7. Luke Killeen – 4.17 8. Jody Scott R/R for Atkins must make them stronger surely as Atkins has been averaging a grand total of 0.62.

I think Antti and Claus are pretty good as a pairing. Tate has ridden with Claus during a previous meeting, Claus almost wiped him out down the home straight. This has the makings of a difficult meeting, Antti is top class at home while Connor seems to be struggling for form at the moment. Sam and Celina will definitely need the bit between their teeth and make the Cheetahs fight for every point. Ashton Boughen flew round Northside many times last season and in Scotty and Sam Masters they have one of the strongest heat leader pairings in the league so we will need a solid team effort from the Comets.
