Berwick TM has again changed things around from last Friday with Danyon back at number 2 Drew 4 Rory 5 and Jye3. Richard Lawson once again guests for the sidelined Lewi Kerr. For Scunny Jack Smith guests for Nathan Ablitt. Scunthorpe have a number of riders who can ride Shielfield well but i think with Berwick a little bit stronger at reserve we wil get a result. 1989 was the last time we won the KO Cup so we are hopefully due a good cup run. Prediction 52-38. Not a bad guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,826 Posted April 27 Scunny are going to have a job on pulling that back bit I wouldnt rule them out. Good to see Kemp has found somewhere that he can produce consistently, perhaps he is finally about to realise his potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,136 Posted April 27 Decent meeting before the track dried out. I reckon a 20 point lead would be good to go to Scunny with. Not sure if 18 is enough, but it’s sure to be a cracker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For us a lack lustre display, heat leaders need a kick up the backside. The score line suggests a difficult meeting in the return leg on the 17th May. We can & should improve at the EWR & with only Edinburgh v Plymouth racing on the same night, if Kerr is still out, then guests would be aplenty. But, looking at the averages, Kerr has improved but so have most others & with not getting the +5%, Lawson, Harris, Masters can not guest. Nicholls rarely guests in the Championship so it leaves the likes of Stevie Worrall or Craig Cook to guest. C Wright could if fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have both been around a long time experimenting should be done at a practice session.Your missing Douglas who was a real No1 and very reliable everywhere unlike his replacement. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 623 Posted April 27 Tall order to pull back 18 points. Well done to Lambet and Mountain they have been excellent, I can't expect too much from the reserves away from home but Howe needs to give the top 3 a talking into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now imagine the slating Jye would've gotten on here if he only scored 4! Would he have even scored 4 though? From 4 rides you’d imagine he’d have probably fallen at least twice so whether he’d have got 4 is very debatable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
