As i said once before if we had Bewley and Janowski he would find a reason why we would lose! My feeling is we should win especially with Hume out but i am sure Glasgow will make it very difficult for us and it will be close. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Endeavour 681 Posted September 23, 2022 Congratulations to Leicester. Beaten fair and square tonight. Hit us hard from heat 1. Consistent from the start and not afraid to ride aggressively into first / second bend. heats 1 to 8 - 13 points ahead. Honours even 9 to 14 until heat 15s 5-1. A lot more fight from the Lions than our boys. 3 ex Monarchs scored 35 points, 1 less than our 7. Says it all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clegg beat Castagna, Fredriksen, Hook (x3), Sarjeant (x2). Lost to Pickering, Thomsen & Hook. No contest between the two of them for man of the match imo! 2 hours ago, foreverblue said: Yes but you have to take in to consideration Clegg is a reserve. Not sure what point you're trying to make?

FishersGate 522 Posted September 24, 2022 Didn't see this result coming. I had Edinburgh to win actually, fair play to the lions for a massive response. Kind of makes Saturday night a little disappointing now but I'm not complaining. I hope Edinburgh make it out the gate tonight so I can see some racing .

Joseq7 363 Posted September 24, 2022 As a Glasgow fan I am very sorry to see the Edinburgh score. Not a worthy way to bow out of Armadale, with its vast vast history of success. When I think back to my first visits to Armadale I think of the imperious Peter Carr. Hopefully they do have a future, the promotion and fans are out of the top drawer! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put it this way if I was stranded on a deserted Island with Shovlar and a tin of beans I would eat Shovlar and talk to the tin of beans. You would get more sense out the beans. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
