A minor international against Australia but our young reserves should return fit and up for the task, looking forward to seeing them at Arlington. They were superb . They could really kick on this year along with Leon Flint . I think Kemp in particular is on absolute bargain average. Really encouraging signs for Eastbourne in 2020. Yes granted lets see how tomorrow goes important to build on his performance. Edited January 17, 2020 by ProudtobeaBrummie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Drew has got his confidence back after last season and will kick on this year. Jason is really a season behind the other 2 and hopefully will get nearer their level this year, although still think his bike control is amazing for someone so young and relatively inexperienced, don't think I've ever seen him out of shape. If the speed progresses he will be some rider as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kemp spent the majority of last season as a second string for Sheffield, so should definitely raise his average at reserve for the Eagles! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drew Kemp will be taken into the Eagles nest and treated as part of the family, nurtured, looked after and sent on his way to a good career in the sport.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or better still one of our 3 future heat leaders along with Tom and Jason , unlikely but would be great if it happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackett 220 Posted January 22, 2020 Drew Kemp was excellent as a guest and opposition rider in the National League at Arlington. Hopefully the OZ Adventure will mean he can start the season in good form and build his confidence from the start. Edwards will need to develop but if he can pick up 4/5 points at home that will be an excellent achievement. Tom Brennan + Kyle Newman give the second strings a solid look.

00000 1,279 Posted January 22, 2020 Do we have to get up early tomorrow to see the fixtures? Can't wait to find out when we are going to lock horns again with our near neighbours. Exciting speedway season ahead, I believe. Anyone know if a time is known for the release of fixtures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted January 22, 2020 Will a few hours make much difference? Online SS could be just gone midnight. Clubs twitter could be early. SS in shops Thursday so will be available 4.30am ish plus local papers(which ours is out Thursday) might have them in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, hey, its speedway where generally the word professional does not go in the same sentence as speedway. Looks like a shambles is again on the way. I might as well post now what the man on the gate told me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Telegraph only shows last weeks news, which we've all read online anyway, so don't expect too much there. Our one and only local sports reporter, probably has to have his copy in for tomorrows paper now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
