Good meeting with plenty of effort from the EL riders.
Rory was super smooth, very professional and put his previous Brough experience to good use - well done.
The semi and final had to be abandoned due to a huge downpour after the qualifying races. - probably wouldn't have affected the result though.
Man of the match was definately Travis Mc, who wowed the crowds with some outside swoops. Could easily have had a 15 point max himself had he not hit the fence in his first ride whilst passing Jason Lyons and breaking his foot rest and then hitting a grippy patch whilst leading Rory in his second.
Other EL riders showed good skills but thought Bjarne was down on Power. Danny King started like a steam train like he had riden Brough all his life but as the track slickened (awaiting the rain) he struggled with grip. Also tried two absolute flyers out the trap but the ref was having none of it.
Really worried about the Newcastle riders though - never in it.
Hope Berwick will drop Lawson so we can sign him. Although Lyons out scored him when he was good he was very good.
Nice also to see Russ Dent and Alan Butterfield from the 1960's diamonds. Oh for the glory days once again
