crescent girl 1,905 Posted April 8, 2022 Quite apart from the result, this was an entertaining match on a chilly night. The first half-dozen races had so much going on, with passing and re-passing galore, that one could hardly draw breath. Armadale had more heat winners than the Bullets, but Berwick had only two last places all night. A great advert for NDL speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Jamie 356 Posted April 9, 2022 The opening night of the season at sunny Armadale saw beautiful weather (as always) and the biggest win by any Berwick side at the Cardiffesque Caldron. The Devils appeared to be doing their bit for the environment by not going too fast, while the Bullets ignored this brainwashing narrative and shot past their opponents as and when necessary, the tone set as early as heat one with Kyle Bickley going very quickly in a last to first dash. However, even he was overshadowed by the exploits of young Ace Pijper, the only rider to lower the 60 seconds barrier and thus become the fastest rider of 2022 so far. Sam Masters et al, it's over to you to beat it. At the end of the night, the visitors celebrated like they'd won the SoN. And why not? For riders such as Luke Crang and Greg Blair, they'll look back on this as the pinnacle of their careers, winning handsomely at such a plush venue. Friday coming sees the other Berwick mob descend (or, geographically speaking, ascend) on the What The Fork Wastelands. I'm gonna say, right here, right now, they won't score 52. They might get 53 though... 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can make the numbers look any way you want though. The number 3 and 5's combined points were 25 for Edinburgh (14 & 11) whereas the Berwick total was 12 (8 & 4). Need your seven riders to score more than the other teams seven (no matter who scored the points). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
