bellevueace 913 Posted August 1, 2018 The Colts will do well to overcome the Tigers who are a powerful side this season, im looking forward to watching the likes of Drew Kemp and Jordan Jenkins throw in the likes of Danny Ayers and Josh Bailey and it will be a stern test but with the potential of some good racing. Ben Wilson guests for Jack Smith who is on duty with Swindon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted August 1, 2018 Toughest test of the year without a doubt. Shame Jack is missing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikec 412 Posted August 1, 2018 Very tough gig for the Colts this one. Looking forward to it as there's some exciting young racers in action. Bright and breezy in Manchester right now, hopefully a decent crowd to enjoy the racing. Prediction 52-38 Fen Tigers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellevueace 913 Posted August 1, 2018 As expected a Tigers win but the Colts kept it closer than I was expecting, Kemp looks very good, stylish and fast, great to see a good batch of young riders coming through, GB looks to have a bright future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikec 412 Posted August 1, 2018 Well at least it was closer than I expected. Great to see the Pie-man rattle off those early wins, though he'll be less happy with the 3 subsequent falls. However he's showing improvement, long may it continue. Saw Drew Kemp late last season at BV & was impressed then. But was thrilling to watch his trackcraft in heats 13 & 15, phenomenal for one so young! A future star, absolutely no doubts about that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was happy the club won.Why not celebrate? Lighten up a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was gutted with himself. The team manager said don't worry. Now go round and aknowledge the travelling away fans and show them your appreciation which he did. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must have been standing next to me because that is exactly what was said .... our supporters were superb again last night backing the team. The riders all wanted to thank them for the long journey they had made midweek to back the team, and thats why they came out to celebrate with them after the meeting Really good close meeting and a warm welcome from our hosts ...

bellevueace 913 Posted August 2, 2018 People complain about speedway not having characters anymore, then when one turns up (Ayers) they then complain about antics. I always enjoy watching Ayers always entertaining and last night was no different, always great to see a rider show passion, and our own Cookie has shown that on more than one occasion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
