Think we need to calm down a tad, we were outridden in both legs and we can rue this and that but at the end of the day with low scoring reserves and heat leaders not performing we aren’t going to win. Berwick fully deserved the result and I have already sent my congrats, cooper was unlucky yes but would it have changed the outcome I don’t think so. Riders have to earn a living so riding in other leagues and countries is a given. We regroup and move on to the next match.

Always nice too see the Scottish clubs do well and I include Berwick’s performance also. Now I’ve got the Praise for the Monarchs off my chest I’m away for a lie down.

Big result for Edinburgh against one of their play-offs rivals.

Well done to Berwick on a great all round team performance, they were much better than us and seemed to want it more, we were a little unlucky home and away with refereeing decisions going against us but overall we had no answers to a very good Berwick team. Good luck to them and hope they win the cup.

Always good to hear about Poole missing out on trophies. GGGGOOOOOOOODDDD Team Berwick, Good Team. Pilots took one hell of a beating.

Well done to Berwick. So many teams have already conceded everything to Poole this year - at least one did it before the season had started with their team line up - but the Borders’ fellas weren’t going to lie down.  Poole are still the dominant team as is obvious from the snidey remarks from the usual suspects and haters, but Berwick never know when they’re beaten. It’s now up to the others to take up the challenge and put some oomph into the season. Will Poole still continue to dominate? Probably. But at least the won’t have it all their own way.
