crescent girl 1,907 Posted May 17, 2023 The return of the "Comics" after five years (far too long) absence should have Shielfield swinging on Saturday! GHT Bullets: 1 Connor Coles, 2 Archie Freeman (r/r), 3 Jamie Halder, 4 Danny Phillips, 5 Greg Blair (capt) 6 Mason Watson, 7 Josh Embleton Comets: 1 Lee Complin (guest), 2 Ace Pijper, 3 Sam McGurk, 4 Harry McGurk, 5 Luke Crang (capt), 6 Kelsey Dugard, 7 Elliot Kelly The shrewd addition of Lee Complin for Connor Bailey will give the visitors a considerable boost, and their line-up is certainly stuffed full of former Berwick riders who have represented Berwick at a number of levels --- but with the GHT Bullets yet to lose an NDL league or play-off match at Shielfield since their formation, Kevin Little's squad will certainly be shooting straight, and aiming to maintain the home record. Added attraction will be a 6-heat NJL contest between the Academy and the visiting Workington Meteors Academy: 1 Kieran Douglas, 2 Owen Booth, 3 Liam Morris, 4 Rocco Webb Meteors: 1 Callum Foy, 2 Laylan Richardson, 3 Emerson Betty, 4 Casper Kluczniak Comets followers going over to Berwick -- the club's nearest local derby -- on Saturday night should note the early-bird offer of advanced e-tickets by Bullets: Adults/Concessions/OAP/Students are only £12, Accompanied children (under 16) free Buy online before Saturday from: https://www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets/ Pay on the day price (cash at turnstiles or e-ticket) £14 21 races (National Development League match + Northern Junior League) -- tapes up at 7pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul84 105 Posted May 20, 2023 Gutted I can’t make this one but it’s good to see the old rivalry between Workington and Berwick is back. I’m Predicting a very close score tonight with the Comets taking a narrow 44-46 win Give us a C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how missing your No.1 gives you a boost. . Complin is a decent choice of guest, but not as good as having Bailey as Comets own No.1. Maybe missing Bailey gives Berwick a boost, but I still think Workington should have enough to win this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But l'm not sure about your prediction of match result...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BackstaightBandit 38 Posted May 20, 2023 Really excited to see the Comets return and with my early bird purchase it’s the added value of 21 heats for £12, the Bandits promotion continues to get everything right. I suspect many more will flock through the gates within the next 20 minutes to enjoy some sunny speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,042 Posted May 20, 2023 Think Workington are favourites for the double, Complin, Pijper & Crang are all former Berwick riders, so should go well. Really rate this Workington side, partly because Harrison was at reserve, but they did well enough without him at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Archie missing, it would expected that the reserves would fill in and get more rides. A 4 rider team and they did well against a well fancied team..
