Paulco 7,047 Posted May 2, 2019 Glasgow Tigers 1 Mr Maximum 2 Sarj 3 Rasmus 4 Starky 5 Claus 6 Luke 7 Kyle Newcastle Diamonds 1 Steve Worrall 2 Simon Lambert 3 Jorgensen R/R 4 Mathew Wethers 5 Lasse Bjerre 6 Max Clegg 7 Danny Phillips Big welcome to the Diamonds this Friday as we race our final home Shield match . As pre season competitions go it has been a useful work out. The home form has been really good , just need one or two to get up to speed away from Ashfield before the season begins in earnest next week against Sheffield in the cup . We are at full strength , while Newcastle are missing Tommy the tape toucher . His battles from the tapes with Sarj will be missed . Should be a comfortable home win , but anything can happen in speedway, as long as we see great racing , that's the main thing . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingersfin 181 Posted May 3, 2019 60 plus has to be the target tonight. A weak Diamonds team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive just checked 3 different weather forecasts for 'springburn,glasgow' and all three predict it will be dry tonight with a slight chance of a shower over lunchtime. It will be chilly so look out the red and white scarves and hats that have been put away for the summer, you might need them . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uluru 80 Posted May 3, 2019 The clashes between Luke Chessell and Danny Phillips on Friday and Sunday might be interesting. On Sunday, they might even make the difference between winning and losing........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD 1,299 Posted May 3, 2019 Another decent meeting at the Field of Dreams. Jensen's charges off the inside line were superb against Worrall, with Cook imperious. Chessell continues to struggle and Starke looks pretty slow. Only the bitter cold and the ht15 result from Armadale tainted proceedings. Cant see us getting anything down at NCL but we'll see.

Another good meeting Cook missing the gate should be mandatory, Jensen is proving me wrong as he is looking good and once Starkey gets going we will look pretty formidable, he seemed to be down on power compared to the rest of the team. And as for Young Kyle another accomplished night from him, all in all another step to were we want to be in terms of race sharpness. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jensen a pure racer with a great style and never gives up, Vissing likewise. Bickley another stylish rider who's going places quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Workington should be praised for sticking with the young man last year when other teams wouldn't. What would he be doing if Worky were still in the League? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenLightGo 24 Posted May 5, 2019 Sorry to hear that Luke has taken a break. Confidence is such an asset when going well and such an anchor when not. Good luck in whatever you choose to do next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
