Just a reminder that tonight`s Lejonen v Dackarna match is live on Freesports at 6pm UK time

[Ghostwalker 1,858]

Weather update. A rain system is moving up over the country and the three meetings in Småland will probably go ahead as planned.
The meeting at Eskilstuna is a bit uncertain though since the rain system just have reached us here.

All set to go here.  Tonight's live coverage is followed by Gorzow v Wroclaw from the weekend.

I'm leaving for the track in a few minutes, hold your thumbs for no more rain.

[Ghostwalker 1,858]

Utterly pathetic by Smederna so far. Michelsen have R R 1 so far, Aspgren is R R, Iversen 1+1... front wheel lifts in 5-1 position which turns into 2-4....

This is the 3rd straight meet were we are struggling and struck by bad luck.

Things are looking better now, we are back at equal after 10 heats.

Lindgren had a really beauty of a pass on Milik in heat 10. 

[Ghostwalker 1,858]

Raining in Västervik. 

[Ghostwalker 1,858]

Smederna's attendance tonight is an impressive 4219 despite poor weather. 

[Shockster 400]

No Laguta at Vetlanda. Anyone know the reason?

[Ghostwalker 1,858]

Extremely idiot move by Lindgren who dives ahead of Thomsen who crashes heavily trying to avoid Lindgren but can walk back to the pits on his own . Thomsen is excluded. 

[Ghostwalker 1,858]

Smederna wins the last heat with 5-0 since Pepe was excluded in the first try due to getting his second warning. 

[krompa 236]

No scorecard on svemo Ghost. Would be nice if you could provide it here. 

Vastervik abandoned, right?

[severnsider 197]

Vastervik abandon after they ran first heat

Smederna - Indianerna https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/85444/eskilstuna-smederna-kumla-indianerna
A really crazy meeting. Smederna had allot of misfortune and struggle in the first half and were 8p down. Like always
they fight they back but on three occasions in the last 4 heats I thought we were loosing.
1. After heat 12 were MJJ and MickMich looses with 1-5 and it's only three heats to go.
2. heat 14 when NKI does a TT but Michelsen won over Woffy and Milik in the re-run. The first bend was crazy 3 out of 4 riders where on
their back wheels going out of bend 1 lap 1 but somehow they managed to avoid crashing.
3. In heat 15 when it looked liked Freddy had moved down Thomsen but where Thomsen eventually was excluded.

Winner of Dackarna -Smederna will win the league. If Rospiggarna wins big and Smederna looses then Rospiggarna will claim second.
