Poole vs Scunthorpe 20th July (Champ)

[lbw 869]

Teams 
Poole - 1. Steve Worrall; 2. Drew Kemp; 3.Danny King (Capt); 4. Zach Cook; 5. Richard Lawson; 6. Ben Cook; 7. Nathan Ablitt TM: Neil Middleditch
Scunthorpe - 1. Ryan Douglas; 2. Simon Lambert (Capt); 3. Jason Edwards (Guest); 4. James Wright;  5. Rider Replacement for Jake Allen; 6. Adam Roynon; 7. Zaine Kennedy TM: Rob Godfrey

Pirates looking to secure 3 points to keep their chance of reaching 2nd place alive while the Scorpions are chasing after 6th place to reach the play offs. 

Scorpions missing Palin & Allen due to injury with Roynon making his debut at reserve. Jordan now out for the season with his head injury, I sincerely hope he is able/allowed to race again in the future as I personally know what it's like having a seizure(s) 

After last week's stunning home win over Glasgow we Pirates will be taking plenty of positives and confidence into this meeting against the Scorpions who shouldn't pose any threat against a full strength Pirates team. But never take anything for granted because if we do the Scorpions may just sting us!

C'MON THE PIRATES

If Pirates don't hit 60 then they should be ashamed

Poole can practice as much as they like on their own track. Makes sense given recent form but they won’t need to worry about tomorrow night. Other than Douglas who will struggle to beat our top three, who is backing him up? Edwards is one for the future but serious won’t threaten our HL’s. 
 

I also wish Howard would guest. Would love to see him on a bike booming out such classics as  “Bless Yore Beautiful Worrall” , and “Oh What a Beautiful Ablitt”, and as a finale “Pirates With a Fringe On Top”.

I don’t think Tero will be back full stop and Jake if his injury is what I read than it would be 6-8 weeks must have been 4 weeks by now so possibly another couple of weeks but there may well be complications
