jackofdiamonds 53 Posted March 31, 2019 I'll start this off as the there appears no one else has. First home match for the Diamonds against Redcar who took the spoils on Friday. Siince then Redcar went down heavily at Leicester last night, while Mattie Wethers came 4th in the Bordernapolis. Stevie Worrall looks as though he had a nightmare at Belle Vue in the Peter Craven Trophy, scoring just one point Newcastle Worrall, Lambert, Bjerre, Wethers (or Wethers, Bjerre) Jorgensen, Phillips, Clegg Redcar Palm Toft, Bacon, Barker, Stewart, Wtight, Greaves, Smith. First leg :~ Redcar 51 Newcastle 39. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yearbyred 1,098 Posted March 31, 2019 Given the Bears performance last night it will need a much better performance to hold onto the lead. MPT and Barker need to contribute a lot more and given Jordans previous visits to Brough I'm not expecting much from him either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parkendlass 102 Posted March 31, 2019 Great result for the Bears !! Great to put one over our North-East rivals, not something that happens very often at Brough , well done Ben and the lads !! Bears have sharper claws this season . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,872 Posted March 31, 2019 Another reason why Charles Wright will be right at the top of the averages come the end of the season. He’s starting to become the real deal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
homer 164 Posted March 31, 2019 would have thought the jawdees would have been on here by now , seen as they will have sneaked away after the interval 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,098 Posted March 31, 2019 Would have been pleased to have won on aggregate, so to win on the night is a bonus. Probably a good time to ride at Newcastle with the fact they had a few new faces in the team and their first home meeting. Charles is a class act these days and excellent from Nathan tonight. Bit more back up from the rest of the team (let’s tell Bacon that every race is Heat 1) so we could even afford MPT to have a poor night (for him) at Brough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TotallyHonestJohn 3,078 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Honestly Well done Redcar as they rode with a lot of grit and determination... they deserved it... However... and I accept that it was the first home meeting of the season but I stand in line with the tapes and the starts seemed so disjointed and scrappy which was most unusual as Phil Day is normally a very good Start Marshall (as is Barry Simpson when we borrow him from Redcar) and although this had very little bearing on the final result as it was the same for both sides it did look very messy... I thought this new "starting" rule was going to improve the starts however I can't say that slicker starts or a slicker starting process was evident this evening...

boz 315 Posted March 31, 2019 Great result for the Bears - Wright has started season superbly and looks like Greaves had a great meeting. Probably raced Newcastle at the right time, before they get dialled in to the home track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
