Well just to add to the rush, you can count 3 of us coming along.

 

Can't believe it's the last NL league fixture of the season already

we cannot either. used to sept/oct finishes. feel as though we haven't seen much speedway at all this season with so few fixtures.

Glad to hear you'll all be coming along.

 

It does seem unreal that the NL season is at end in August, but there just aren't enough teams in the league, which is such a shame. It must be very difficult for the riders, as they're being denied the chance to do what they love doing, unlike those in the EL & PL.

 

Local weather forecast says there may be a few spits & spots this morning, with the sun showing it's face at times this afternoon. It's already sunny where I am, albeit a little chilly.

 

Really looking forward to 7.30pm so the action can start.

No Garrity for Belle Vue due to a family bereavement.

Add me, add me, add me

 

I'll have the half pound cheese & bacon burger, cheesy chips & a large diet coke Pitstop Cafe for 6.45pm please

 

 

Absolute shame Garrity is missing. Was so looking forward to seeing what all the hype was about. But, with R/R I can't see the Young Stars being to much trouble for Belle Vue. A very strong NL side.

 

38-52

I think it will be closer than 38-52. We will be leaving soon to avoid the queues to get in!!! Keep the sun shining and let's have a bit of dirt on the track. Sounded a bit processional last week so if it is your last NL meeting of the season, let's hope it is a good one for all the spectators that have been encouraged by Mimmo's call to arms.

[Daniel Smith 5,679]

Well, that was a surprise result and an outstanding team performance. Lewis Kerr was exceptional and it's so nice to watch this lad progress.

[NeilWatson 1,995]

A decent crowd, and some excellent racing that belied the score.

Unstatisfactory start, all 4 back. Kerr gated and moved across to McKinna who in turn caught up with Campos. McKinna fell but up and ok. Just a tight first bend. Kerr wants his max!

Re-Run: Kerr wasn't going to be denied. A determined start to again get across McKinna. Campos hugged the inside to emerge from bend 2 in 2nd. Pretty comfortable after that and Kerr is delighted to get his first ever max!

Ashley Birks has just been interviewed, he dislocated his shoulder on Sunday so he pulled out in pain. He won't ride tomorrow. The texter says a brilliant effort from a guest & I agree. Best wishes to him.

 

Heat 15: Howarth, Cockle, Bekker, Rayson. 2-4, 59-34, 63.93

Line-up: James Cockle, Oliver Rayson, Kyle Howarth, Byron Bekker

Comments: Stars take 2 & 4.

Great race to finish the Young Stars' hone league programme. The impressive Howarty gated and was gone but there was never much between the other 3. Bekker under Cockle bend 2 but Cocke returned the favour on bend 3. Rayson then tried everything to get past Bekker but he just couldn't manage it. Cracking meeting, better than the score suggests. BV gave their all and Bekker & McKinna deserved more for their efforts. Howarty very good. Young Stars produced their best performance of the season. Kerr & Rayson both had their best meetings of the season, just a shame that's now the end of their home programme

Great win by Kings Lynn.

 

With two outstanding performances by Kerr for the Young Stars & Howarth for the Colts.

We echo that. A cracking meeting with the YS in great form. Kerr and Rayson YSs and Howarth BV oustanding tonight. McKinna deserved more for his effort. Special thanks must go to Ashley Birks who was a great guest for the YSs especially tonight riding with an injury to his shoulder. These lads are made of strong stuff.

Shame it was the last league match for the YSs. Won't be able to make it to see meeting in October. Hoping to go to Belle Vue 4th Sept but unsure if we can at the moment.
