crescent girl 1,905 Posted July 2, 2022 Regretfully, this meeting is OFF. Heavy rain, and a dismal forecast -- new date to be announced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted July 2, 2022 According to this the forecast isn't to bad for today, currently cloudy but dry. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819 We have had a number of very heavy showers and periods of rain throughout the last week so I am not entirely surprised by this call off, good at least the club took the decision early enough to stop everyone from travelling.

crescent girl 1,905 Posted July 3, 2022 Trouble being, as I see it, with both being Saturday tracks (and Leicester using the Thompsons in both their teams) Berwick have to find a Saturday the Lions/Cubs aren't racing, or go "off night" as their seniority for Saturdays is wiped out by the postponement. Fortunately, being a KO Cup semi-final, it could be held over a while and the Final arranged (with Fen Tigers' blessing) later on in the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted July 3, 2022 I would be surprised if Berwick chose to ride this meeting as part of double header. If they face a deficit after todays first leg they would possibly need all fifteen to make them back, Berwick have proven they can run thirty heats in a night but there is no guarantees.
