old bob at herne bay Posted October 13, 2024 Report Share Posted October 13, 2024 Not a great weather forecast for Poole on Wednesday. Always a risk with these early winter meetings. As for the result , think Winnie Fooord won it last week by taking out 2 Oxford riders. Seems he has literally KO'd Killeen out of the KO Cup. 😞 So a hollow Poole victory is on the cards ...assuming they can find a dry Wednesday befor the end of October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TapesRup Posted October 14, 2024 Report Share Posted October 14, 2024 Terrible choice of guest replacements for Killeen Scott and Roynon. Poole will walk both legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
