topaz325 1,859 Posted May 30, 2014 Well with the weather looking better for this weekend some Speedway looks on the cards at Derwent Park. The Comets take on the Redcar Bears in a PL meeting which sees the return of Workington favourite (Comet on loan!!) Richard Lawson and new Comets recruit Simon Lambert. Should be a good one, best of luck to Simon on his Derwent Park debut in 2014 for the Comets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Lucan 375 Posted May 30, 2014 Looking good for the forecast so it'll be nice to get back and see some action, haven't seen anything since the beginning of the month through one thing and another? Definitely need a bit of a confidence boosting win from this and we should be OK for the three points against Redcar tomorrow, (tho I did say that about Berwick as well ) so not asking for much but, anything above 49 will do for me!!

Another kamikaze move by Fisher on Josh. Won his first ride easily. Hopefully withdrawn as a precautionary measure, and ok for tomorrow.

Lord Lucan 375 Posted May 31, 2014 A moderate performance all round and against pretty much a two man Redcar team was a bit disappointing to say the least, and even more so as they were still in pitching for a point right up til Ht15 when a dodgy engine robbed their best/only pairing of a chance to challenge for a point? I had been half expecting a backlash after last week from the Comets but for some reason that didn't materialise and we were rather fortunate to get away with the full amount? Comets looked well under power tonight especially in the Ht leader dep't with no one really capable of challenging Lawson/Summers, not a good sign? Campton didn't look quick, Morris showed good spirit til bike problems hampered his scoring, Howarth still not where he should be but solid enough, poor meeting from Robbo by his usual standards, Rene looks OK when in front but not much passing when he isn't and a solid enough performance from Lambert, which I'm sure he will improve once he's got acquainted with the track, a little disappointed for him when Wells took the win after shepherding him around for most of the race, (ht12) thought he would have given him that, confidence booster but, there you go!! Wells himself rode OK for his points but does lack that look of a racer!! Looking like a long season, recent averages show up the inconsistency of our team with only Josh showing any real improvement so far, gotta hope the rest are just pacing themselves for the business end, perhaps learning from the hare and the tortoise of yesteryears!! I'll settle for a scruffy win even tho I'm not that impressed by the performance, it's still points on the board and after last week, I'd rather have em than not!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
