Skidder1 7,637 Posted September 21, 2022 So I can't believe this one has slipped through the net?! Both teams line up in their full 1-7s, with Lions just making a change to the riding order for Dan at 4 and Connor at 2. Last time the Lions came to Wimborne Road in early June they won by 4 points with Dan Thompson their trump card at reserve top-scoring with 11+2 from 6 rides. Thats not going to happen again plus Pirates are riding in top form at the moment. Its nice and sunny with a warm(ish) breeze on the South Coast today - no rain forecast but will doubtless be colder this evening. I'll go with 49-41 to Poole on the night. Thoughts......?

When you look at the teams it seems obvious that there won't be much between them overall, Danny King had a poor night last time Leicester were at Wimborne Road too, obvious weak links are Ablitt and Joe Thompson so Zach will have to be somewhere near his best, I believe the turning point at Leicester was Kemp and Zach getting a 5-1 in heat 14. This meeting could go either way but I think and hope we can edge it overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golden Heats are detailed in SR 11.1.29, each team manager nominates riders for 3 additional heats and the first team to score a heat advantage wins. Scoring is usual 3-2-1-0 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If still a draw after three golden heats there will be three more and so on. Could be there all night but I don't think it will come down to golden heats!

Mike0310 660 Posted September 21, 2022 I feel a bit better about the demolition we took at Wimborne road last week with our patchwork team,that Leicester with there a full team could only muster the same score. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
