Could Kennett ride at reserve or is that not possible with new reserve system. Did read that only 7 riders in Premiership are not doubling up ; so for any club considering changes due to injury or loss of form there is not a great deal of option. The averages in the Speedway Star are meaningless, except as a guide to current form. The 'Green Sheet' averages that can be found at http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk under the relevant League tab are the averages used to dictate team changes and positioning. Currently Eastbourne's averages are (with effect from 1st July): Lawson 8.77 Kennett 7.96 Kerr 7.57 Brennan 5.92 Newman 5.41 Kemp 3.58 Edwards 2* RS (no attained average) Team total 39.21 Zane Keleher moves to Plymouth on the same 4.00 average that he holds at Poole. If Edward Kennett's average fell to a figure that placed him sixth or seventh in the averages then he would ride at reserve.

I think he'll get some confidence now out of the No1 position, and hold his own and thrive in the middle order, but if his average dropped low enough to go to reserve he should be ashamed and probably ought to call it a day.

He has been out of form but the change in rider order has worked wonders, 8 from 4 is a good return away so the pressure of being an out of form number 1 has gone. Eastbourne are very unlikely to replace Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am shocked to see no more double headers as they appeared to offer great value but the stadium owners bang the drum. Bit odd that it includes the MSDL matches also as thats just a 2nd half of sorts. Ironic really that it was and Eastbourne rider and a Dugard who did all the falling in the last match which caused it to run on so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a good move to take Jason out of the firing line and put Ablitt in for a bit, both have talent but Ablitt looks to have more confidence at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crescent girl 1,904 Posted July 29, 2021 Why is Tom Brennan listed to ride on Saturday but Drew Kemp isn't? They are both in the same (German) meeting on Sunday afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taken from the club website "The club are especially indebted to Tom, who has arranged transportation to Germany immediately after the Eagles match v Plymouth so that he can ride for the Eagles." roughly translated as its possible to get to Germany after the Eastbourne meeting and we love Tom for doing it but Drew *doesn't fancy it/didn't want to/can't be ar$ed (*delete as appropriate) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
