First signing for the Kent Eagles in the National Trophy.

Ben Morley

He is 30, with 14 seasons experience!. Surely he has developed as far as he is going to at this stage.

I think their should be a combined age limit on the NDL or years experience in the case of some of the riders who came late to the sport through a motox background.

Well either somebody has dropped a bollock or the set up and structure of the NDL Trophy is going to be very different to NDL, which would completely ruin the objective and aims of the new concept. 

Morley's last CL season saw him finish on a 4.40 GSA with Plymouth. 

He's ridden many seasons in CL and in PL 

Surely the rule has to be if you're illegible for NDL you're illegible for The Trophy

Id wager the first one. Nice peoples but green promotion. Would be a whopper of a clanger if Morley was announced and ineligible. Even more so if like previous teams they had Kennett and Ablitt lined up too.....Nick Laurence should be fine though 😁

Must be a different rule for Trophy then....

No fault of Kent to take advantage if so but I'd imagine a few will be fuming who may have not been allowed same dispensation in the NDL.

More likely that the rules have changed, given the BSPL press release said that the Regs for NDL and NT woukd be the same.

Also, on the NDL thread there was a query regarding people like Luke Harrison now being ineligible as he achieved a Championship average over 4 - the response being that he had been told he would be eligible

So it seems the rule has been changed then
