Opposing Maximums

Recommended Posts

Most of us know about the famous Olsen and Stancl 15-pointers in opposition, but I just stumbled on another incident that deserves mention.

On 20th April 1973, Swindon beat Halifax 42-36 in a BL match.

Mike Keen was unbeaten in five rides (full 15-point max) for the Robins, while Eric Boocock was unbeaten for the Dukes in six rides (16+2)!

Even though Boocock's maximum was a paid one, the fact that the two avoided each other in the meeting, AND were both unbeaten, seems pretty special to me.

Not quite in the same league but 15th July 1984 Boston v Glasgow, Colin Cook 10+2 (4) and Steve Lawson 15 (5). Cook rode at #6 so the two weren't programmed to meet. His extra ride was an R/R in heat 6.
