Pirates Of Poole

Hi will be doing Champ in 2027

Well done Poole, apart from Bomber Glasgow look poor. Can’t really make changes as would need to release a HL, think they will struggle to make the playoffs this year.

Coops got 1 ride in heat 27 which resulted in a 5-1 with Cairns (7-2)

Think that will be Fraser out for 8 weeks.

Just a wrist strain, he should be back by Wednesday at Poole. His hand has swollen badly and with a bit of grip may struggle to hold on, putting him and other riders at risk so best to rest for a few days and come back stronger.

That does change things slightly. Cairns is getting 7 rides.

Beau

He isn't coming yet.... but will.

You are correct. He was taken out for the TS

Well done to Oxford, they wanted it more than majority of our boys. Track was set up for rain, slick and not ideal for racing but that’s the way it went. Two poor away meetings now and we need to see an improvement from a couple of the boys in the main part of the team. Coops should have had more than 4 rides, why we kept Newman and Bowes in their 4th ride is beyond me. It’s all good and well scoring well at home but we need them to show up away.

That serious. So will Oxford start the campaign

No I think you are right, even when he does feel good to ride he is going to be rusty and months behind other riders which won't help him. Newman will be a stop gap, If I was Matt I would do all I can to get Beau over to UK.

Newman now confirmed.

Little concerned we have 5 fit riders, Bowes isn't 100% fit and I can't see Dan ever coming into the side this year regardless of the statement. It's a big injury to come back from. Shame we can't get Beau over, but we shall go for a local lad short term.

Dave Barclay owns it.
