Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 8, 2023 On Wednesday we welcome Berwick to Wimborne Road for a Championship fixture. Will they put up more of a fight that Glasgow did? Not sure they will to be honest. Forecast is for a strong WSW breeze and afternoon showers but it’s a fair way off yet. This was the Berwick lineup at Oxford last Wednesday. Guess it’s the same? 1. Rory Schlein 2. Jye Etheridge 3. Jonas Knudsen 4. Leon Flint 5. Thomas Jorgensen 6. Jacob Hook 7. Connor Coles Rory knows the best way around Poole, and Flint has had some very decent meetings last season down here. But Etheridge, Knudsen and Jorgensen,( if fit), need to really step up to keep it competitive. Berwick reserves are decent and might pick up some points. 54-36?

lisa-colette 6,035 Posted July 8, 2023 Well we better be careful what with Captain Hook in town to steal our treasure! Been a while since TJ been at Poole as he always used to be 'ill' when Lynn were down. So be interesting to see if he turns up and if so what he scores! They also pushed Oxford hard until last 3 heats so not to be written off! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Berwick lost by 16 at the unbeaten league leaders, it should be closer at Poole - a team Oxford beat almost as easily a couple of weeks ago. 46-44 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess because Poole have been so successful over the years, I means more to the opposition when they beat them? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,042 Posted July 8, 2023 Can only see a home win & a Pirates bonus point, most interesting part of the matches will be if Poole can win at Berwick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like he missed one visit to Poole out of eight for the three seasons he rode for Lynn that they were in the same league as Poole, and that was due to an injury. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
