eide67 199 Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Teams from Oxford website but Sam Masters not able to return yet and is replaced by guest Kyle Howarth.

Jack Thomas R/R 5.57 4. Aaron Summers 6.21 5. Troy Batchelor 6.65 6. Cameron Heeps 4.07 7. Dillon Ruml 5.17 Team Manager: Peter Schroeck EDINBURGH WHAT THE FORK MONARCHS 1.

Gresham78 215 Posted August 17, 2022 Rain forecast for Oxford this afternoon through to early evening - what’s it like at the moment? Got a 120 mile round trip to make so weighing up the odds of the meeting going ahead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got a 120 mile round trip to make so weighing up the odds of the meeting going ahead Problem is we are looking at potentially heavy thundery showers which tend to pop up out of nowhere, are very localised and don't show up well on rainfall radar. So it is a real lottery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gresham78 215 Posted August 17, 2022 Thanks Arneig. It’s very changeable at the moment so I think I’ll pass on it today If I lived closer to Oxford I’d chance it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here. In Swindon 70 mile round trip, too risky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8scot 589 Posted August 17, 2022 After the very hot weather the forecast is disappointing but hope it goes ahead and please no more injuries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted August 17, 2022 Howarth a strange choice of guest could pick anyone in league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow could have maybe used Brennan, Harris already riding at Birmingham for Coventry. Other options were really the other Leicester HLs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluTiger 21,700 Posted August 17, 2022 Starke scoring just 2 pts, and Heeps running 3 consecutive lasts, cost Oxford dearly tonight... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted August 17, 2022 Cracking win especially being 10 down half way through the meeting. Good to see josh back in form and good back up from the rest of the boys. Play off time now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auntie doris 2,342 Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Another surprise home loss for the Ox. 4 wins, 5 defeats. Would have been heavier with Masters riding. Edited August 18, 2022 by auntie doris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
