Islander15 1,065 Posted July 28, 2011 Newport Hornets take on the Isle of Wight Islanders this Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm. The last time these two met at Queensway Meadows stadium, was in the first round of this years knock-out cup where the Hornets managed a 53-40 victory, however the Islanders took the tie on aggregate. Though both Rob Smith & Nick Simmons have since appeared there in the NL Pairs event. It will also be a home debut for Hornet's recent signings Steven Jones & Brendan Johnson (who incidentally started the year at Smallbrook). ---- On another note: if anyone is going to this meeting and is able to text to the updates site, can they please either leave a message here, pm me here or pm me on the updates site.

CrystalCastles 292 Posted July 29, 2011 Meeting Preview Hopefully this should be as entertaining a match as the clash in the KOC was. Although both teams will go in with changed line ups to that clash. Hornets 54 IOW 38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedwaylover18 0 Posted July 31, 2011 Great effort by both teams, a good deubt from brendan and a kurtz max hes definatley improving, think steve jones is someone who tries too hard and ends up falling off! Nice to see james white williams winning a few Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrystalCastles 292 Posted July 31, 2011 Some good action, good advert for NL speedway. All the Islanders rode well, felt they deserved the point possibly more. We started off slow. JWW found last seasons form from nowhere. Turning the match on its head. Kurtz was a level above anybody else. Track was fab for an afternoon meeting. Enjoyed it. Had a free 'bow of the dad so all good . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bdjfan 107 Posted July 31, 2011 Glad to see that Brendan had a good debut for Newport onwards and upwards for him hopefully. One more meeting here and then hes off to Sweden to ride for Team GB its shame he doesnt have a few more sponsors though,as a sponsor myself Im constantly on the look out for more sponsors for him.

CrystalCastles 292 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Updates say Charlie Saunders rode but it was Danny Stoneman, Saunders riding either longtrack or grasstrack. That would be my fault not Clints. Many apologies. I had a big night out on Friday. Edited July 31, 2011 by shirlmeister general Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhidassa 73 Posted August 1, 2011 My first ever visit to Newport Speedway; wasn't too bad. Would have been better if Isle of Wight had managed to steal a win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
