May have been true in recent seasons, but definitely not this year. Sadly had to miss this one. Sounded like a banger! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg was superb mate. Felt a wee bit sorry for Kyle as it overshadowed a great meeting for him also. Decent passing from mason to boot. Overall thoroughly entertaining 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully transfers that to the Bandits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted May 7, 2022 Kyle super too…but Greg Blair! He was absolutely sensational. Dave Peet dropping him years ago (for I forgot whom) when he was on good form was complete travesty. The guy has massive talent, love to see him back in the league he belongs.

bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted May 7, 2022 4 out 15 FTG, you can’t pass at Berwick? That’s not what the stats say! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted May 7, 2022 Unless I am wrong, the Berwick track is pretty much the same length as the old West Ham track. The current NDL guys are clocking times pretty much on a par with BL top guys back in the 60’s. We thought they were fast so these youngsters must be pretty good.

screm 8,057 Posted May 8, 2022 As others have said probably one of the best meetings I have seen at Berwick in a while, full credit to all 13 riders for their entertainment. Started off with Kyle Bickley setting a new NDL track record in Ht1 but the star of the night was Greg Blair with some incredible over taking especially in Ht9 with a last to first, hopefully that race will be put onto social media later this week as it needs to be seen to be believed. Great night`s racing and those who decide to stay away and miss the Bullets matches need to get themselves there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, Dick said it right last night… Good track prep and riders with positive mindframes= Berwick being one of the best tracks in the country to watch speedway! I don’t know what’s been done differently on the track this year… but seriously, there hasn’t been one bad meeting this year! The Bullets sit quite proudly top of the league so far with us having set the pace for people to mark up to again! Let’s just make sure we get to the play offs first and then it’s game on! I thought Belle Vue would be the team to get us at home… how wrong I was! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,370 Posted May 9, 2022 Think the big positive regarding NDL racing at Shielfield,is the racing can be a couple of seconds slower with the young lads,which produces exciting races with more overtaking,it has been like that for a few season now ,that the Junior meetings have been more entertaining.Long may it continue. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
