TurnTwo 317 Posted July 17, 2018 Looking at the teams: Bacon to outscore Kinsley Kemp to outscore Walker RR to score equivalent to Bailey Flint to outscore Halsey Shanes to outscore Ayres Marson to outscore Butcher Woods to outscore Sheldon a very evenly matched fixture i think the brummies will win it big in heats 13&15 resulting in a 48-42 scoreline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GiveusaB Posted July 18, 2018 Depends if there's any dirt on the track....however, without Hume, I think Mildenhall will win by about 8 points! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted July 18, 2018 Tough one to call. Think Marson could be the difference maker as Mildenhall look stronger at reserve along with the struggle to cover for Hume's absence. Flint can't take his RR until heat 12, Bacon isn't eligible so think RR is likely to return 6 at best rather than double figures and that swing in points in a tight meeting may be the undoing of the unlucky Brummies tonight.

Guest GiveusaB Posted July 18, 2018 Hopefully, in the grand scheme of things it will just dent the 'Brummies' pride a little.....we all know that it only really matters when the play-offs come round? At the moment it's just about finishing in the top 4 ! (from a fans perspective...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted July 19, 2018 A very enjoyable meeting as a neutral last night. What a ride from young Drew Kemp in heat 15 to clinch the win for the fen tigers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted July 19, 2018 Sounds like a cracker, two teams well matched via various circumstances scrapping it out to a last heat decider. Wasn't there but wish i was, great advert for speedway at any level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly any effort to celebrate the 90th anniversary? However, Alan Grahame was there and so was Jack Smith....and of course Big Arthur, who is always there : ) Very disappointing....as you quite rightly point out!

Guest GiveusaB Posted July 19, 2018 I shouldn't compare.....but I thought at the start of the season Leon Flint was just edging Drew Kemp with development? but after last night, I have to say what an exceptional talent Kemp is and the difference to when I last saw him earlier in the season is quite remarkable.....he's going all the way ! He was brilliant in Heat 15 ! Not only is he an emerging talent, but to hold his nerve to win a last heat decider, at his age, is beyond words! So glad he's English !

cityrebel 2,960 Posted July 20, 2018 Out of all of the new generation of young guns, Drew Kemp looks the best. He looks fearless to me. When I saw him cruise to a maximum on a big track like the IOW, from the gate and the back, he certainly looked the real deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
