Team has been named and it is that.

Massive E Winner league final round 14 of the regular season showdown on Sunday and Monday 15th/16th August. Current table of top 5 1 Rybnik 22 points 2 Krosno 22 3 Ostrow 21 4 Bydgoszcz 17 5 Gdansk 17 We know that the top 3 are in the play- offs but we don`t know where they will finish and who they will play(1 v 4, 2 v 3). Therefore the main attention is on the 4th place battle between Bydgoszcz and Gdansk. 1st up on Sunday afternoon is Gdansk v Tarnow N Sport start time 3 pm UK time- Gdansk won by 20 points in Tarnow ,so are short priced favourites to collect the 3 points. This means that Bydgoszcz will need to win in Ostrow to reach the play-offs- this match is also on Sunday N Sport start time 5.30pm UK time. Bydgoszcz are not helped by the presumably season ending injury that Zengota suffered recently. I`m not sure if they can use RR for him or they might have to put a Polish junior in his place and give the rides to the no8 Saidullin. edit forgot that Adrian Gala is at Bydgoszcz and will probably ride. The other match with relevance to the top 3 is on Monday evening start time 7.15pm UK time Krosno v Rybnik N Sport

We move on to next Wednesday`s final regular season round 7. Fjelsted v Slangerup- TV MATCH start time 5.30pm UK time Grinsted v Holsted Vojens v Region Varde Brovst v Esbjerg

I gather that he is going to further appeal to a higher authority in Denmark than the DMU

Only 765 in Motala for Piraterna v Indianerna, with the Kumla side finally showing what they are capable of. It had a few decent tussles and was worth watching.

Masarna v Vastervik was an enjoyable match to watch, with the visitors coming out on top in a last heat decider. The difference between the teams was the 18 point max from Freddie Lindgren, whereas the Avesta side badly missed the injured Hellstrom-Bangs. Attendance was 1068.

Which is in summary ?

Pedersen`s appeal has failed- banned for 4 months from yesterday.
