King's Lynn V Rye House (koc) - 10th September 2014

[Mimmo 1,070]

Although you won't find this fixture shown on the BSPA website, tonight sees the two clubs go head to head, in what I believe to be the 1st leg semi-final of the MDL Knock-out Cup. As publicity for the event is sketchy, I think it's the semi-final, so please don't shoot me if it isn't. The second leg takes place this Saturday at the Rye House Stadium.

 

Both sides have riders competing that will have ridden in the National League fixture earlier this evening. For the home side, it will be the multi-talented Josh Bailey, who will swap his No 6 race bib of the 'Young Stars' for the No 1 of 'The Lightning'.

 

As for the very busy John Sampford's side, Jason Garrad (no relation to former Rye House 'Rocket' Bob Garrad) discards his Number 6 Kent 'Kings' attire for the No 4 of the Rye House 'Raiders', and similarly, Danny Ayres swaps his red & white bib, for the blue & yellow No 1.

 

It'll be fast, it'll be furious and It'll be good, and well worth staying on to watch.

 

Full line-ups: - King's Lynn: 1) Josh Bailey 2) Ryan Kinsley, 3) Adam Portwood 4) Layne Cupitt (Would mind betting that two of those will be misspelt in the programme.) Rye House: 1) Danny Ayres 2) Rob Watts 3) No Rider (!!) 4) Jason Garrad (Possibly one will be misspelt there!!)
