Brummie Kev 519 Posted May 4, 2016 I'm really looking forward to this match, gonna be a cracker of a meeting. Kent really have started the season so provide the toughest test we have had at Perry Barr yet. They have riders that can do well, Danny Ayres has had some good meetings here in the past and James Shanes is always one to watch. I think its crazy hes not riding for a Premier League club this year. They normally have listing up a week or so in advance so I highly doubt this will be covered. Poole vs Wolves is definitely being covered tonight so I reckon they will have someone at Perry Barr but might not have live commentary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueherb777 571 Posted May 4, 2016 Without doubt Kings toughest test yet. Will do well to hit 40 points. So I can see Brum win by 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueherb777 571 Posted May 4, 2016 45-45 - Great result for Kings. Even though 2 or 3 riders struggled they still have enough strength to compete. I said recently that Kings would go close to silverware. After tonight I think they will go very,very close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted May 4, 2016 A great advert for the National League sees both teams keep intact their unbeaten run. A draw was the fair result and both sets of fans can be proud of their riders efforts in this match. It was just one of them nights for Brummies riders where we suffered a fair bit from bike issues and iffy gating at times. Darryl Ritchings rode well and was well supported by Danyon, Bacon (after his first ride) and JPB. The others im sure will want to show the form they have showed prior to this meeting next week and im sure they will. I said before the meeting that Danny Ayres goes well here and he looks to have come on quite alot since last season. Bowen has been around a while and you would expect him to be one of the best in the league and he certaintly proved that tonight. Shanes provided good backup to them two,. I was quite impressed with Thomas, first time ive seen him and he looked on the pace. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deano 1,318 Posted May 5, 2016 Zach and Tom Perry were definately not themselves last night and that lost the match for us. Zach was seriously off the pace and Tom appeared to have issues with his machinery. Gate and go was needed due to the slimy conditions and we couldn't out gate the three Kent heat leaders. There were a couple of "iffy" anticipated starts that were let go in my opinion that went in Kent's favour. Sadly, I think the score was closer than the quality of racing suggested.

uk_martin 1,606 Posted May 5, 2016 I suspect that there may be some widespread realignment of expectations as to where the trophies will go this season now. Ultimately all competitions will be won in a home & away shoot-out. I've always said Eastbourne would beat the Brummies over 2 legs. I'll add Kent to that now. To win a trophy this year they need to find who last had the M6 Lump Of Tarmac Trophy so that the Brummies can beat Stoke for it (again) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
