I'm sure those of u that watched the action may mention the if's, but's & maybe's. PIRATES only one win required from 2 home meetings to guarantee qualification See you down WINborne Road tomorrow evening C'MON THE PIRATES #piratepride There wasn't a stream anyway! Well done to Danny King in H15 from saving us from defeat! Not sure what is up with H1's atm. At Edinburgh 4 crash on first bend. Tonight was 3 with Kemp the only one who didn't. At least no injuries from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frigbo 518 Posted August 2, 2022 My first live meeting for 4 years and it was pretty decent to be fair. 2 full strength teams, close score throughout and some decent racing at times. And to top it all neither Poole nor O*ford won lol. What's not to like? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 2, 2022 Just got back. Really a good meeting in front of a very good crowd. Far more there than I expected but that’s the pulling power of the Pirates, who had a good hundred plus fans on the third bend making lots of noise. The meeting was close throughout but I noticed gates 1and 3 have a big, big advantage just like the meeting I attended early this season. Poole were the better of the two teams but Oxford struck back with a couple of unlikely 5-1’s at the wrong time. Heat 13 Steve Worrall popped out again off two to brilliantly hold off Batchelor, and in heat 14 Ben Cook held of the two Oxford riders climbing all over him. Heat 15 and with Oxford off 1 and 3, Summers gated and was joined by Batchelor. They thought it all over but Danny King had other ideas. He cranked it wide open around the outside for two laps before getting Batchelor up the inside of the back straight of lap for and holding onto second by half a bike. Worrall almost got through as well. All the crowd left happy. Good meeting, big crowd, balmy weather. What’s not to like? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,032 Posted August 3, 2022 In the table Poole on 13 and Oxford on 10. So a draw will be enough to see us through to the final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
