Gb Under 21 Qualifiers

[davidba 3]

After what he went through last year this really is a remarkable story, well done Brendan!!

[Wessex Wanderer 148]

Quite a good meeting with the three qualifiers all deserving to progress. Brendan winning the meeting must be the best "feel good" story of the early season.

 

There were the usual bad luck stories (particularly Ben Hopwood who would surely have challenged the qualifiers) but also some very encouraging performances. First time (I think) that I have seen Shane Hazeldean but he is quite an all action young rider isn't he - Uncle Len sure can still pick out the good prospects.

 

A very enjoyable evening.

Congratulations to Brendan Johnson, winner of the Weymouth s/final tonight! Get In

Master of the understatement there Phil.

 

Without any doubt,the unluckiest rider of the night was Ben Hopwood.Although 2nd highest scorer behind Howarth in the heats,Ben was looking a very likely meeting winner.To shed a chain at the start of the 2nd Semi Final was so cruel.

 

The scorers:

 

Kyle Howarth 3 2 3 3 =11

John Resh 2 3 1 2 = 8

Andrew Braithwaite 1 fx ns fx = 0

Shane Hazelden 0 f 3 1 = 4

Daniel I'Anson 0 0 f 0 = 0

Adam Wrathall f f 2 0

Aaron Baseby 3 1 2 3 = 9

Congrats to Brendan, rode for us in a 2nd half at Newport last year shortly before his accident, and left a big impression on the Cradley fans with his attitude, enthusiasm, & genuine talent- great to see the lad beginning to fulfill his obvious ability- just dont score too many against the Heathens please!!

[Parsloes 1928 nearly 495]

Echo the sentiments about Bren,of course.

But forgive me if I'm cock-a-hoop this morning at just hearing that Aaron is the GB U-21 Final!!!

FANTASTIC news!! Well done Asbo!

Really looking forward to Friday!!

Hmm, well as someone (! ) wrote in the programme notes, this Mildenhall semi with a very evenly-matched (and for that read, let's be honest, far weaker than the other two qualifiers...) line-up, always had the potential to throw up some surprise qualifiers and so it has proved... Fair play to the lads concerned..

I have to go back to a point I've reiterated a few times on this thread though...: if Marc Owen had ridden in this round (IMHO ANY of the three semis..) he'd be lining up at Lakeside next Friday.

No criticism of course to any of those that are but a simple question - to which am not expecting a reply... - why WAS he left out..?

Hold on - read my posting. I make no adverse comment about Steve - it is indeed a great achievement qualifying for the British Final after such a brief time in the sport... Well done to him and Scott and all the other qualifiers... So kindly don't put words into my mouth...

[Vicar 2]

I'd like to ask why it was such strange format in every qualifier? Why some riders where riding twice against another, and against another not at all? You can make for 13 riders such heat format that everyone will meet someone exactly once!
