it waS

SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE: Unfortunately, Jake Allen aggravated a scaphoid injury last night during Heat 15. There has been no improvement overnight and he needs to rest. R/R will be used as we are unable to secure a guest at short notice.

Berwick will be looking to get back to winning ways at Shielfield, after only taking 1pt from thie rlast 2 home meetings. With losing 50-40 at Scunny tonight is a good chance to get our 2nd bonus point of the season, following last night's at Redcar last night. Scunny have riders who have performed well at Berwick in the past so another close meeting beckons. Again this meeting could come down to the battle of the reserves, with Lambert at Number 7 who admits to liking Berwicks track being a danger. My predictions have been way off most of this season but i will go for a Bandits home win 51-39 Bandits: Nick Morris, Sam Hagon, Jonas Jeppesen, Drew Kemp, Peter Kildemand, Dayle Wood, Jack Smith Scorpions: Steve Worrall, Jake Allen, Luke Harrison, Zaine Kennedy, Connor Mountain, Declan Kennedy, Simon Lambert

Trigger 3.34 Hagon 3.26

Which would have then seen Hagon go to reserve

Never known so much dust as there was last Saturday was like being on Stars in their Eyes

aye made the playoffs that year.

If this meeting had been last Saturday Masters would not have got a r/r ride but new averages mean he does tonight

you just beat me to it with your thread lol

Bandits welcome Oxford in a match they must win to have any remote chance of a playoff place. Althought the bonus point looks out of reach 2pts are much needed. Bandits are at full strenghth with Nick Morris replacing Craig Cook. For the Cheetahs they use r/r for Jordan Jenkins, with the new averages giving them a bonus of Sam Masters taken one of his rides. Jonathan Grahn guests for Francis Gusts with former Bandit Jonas Knudsen forming a powerful reserve pairing alongside Luke Killeen. Lovely sunny weather here in Berwick today hopefully plenty trackwork able to be done before todays footie. Looks like another close meeting so will go 48-42 tothe Bandits. Bandits: Nick Morris, Sam Hagon, Jonas Jeppesen, Drew Kemp, Peter Kildemand, Dayle Wood, Jack Smith Cheetahs: Sam Masters, R/R Jordan Jenkins, Jonatan Grahn, Mitch McDiarmid, Cameron Heeps, Luke Killeen, Jonas Knudsen

We need Hagon to turn up

Berwick reserves 5+1 Glasgow reserves 14+2 this is where meetings are won and lost. Track prep needs rectified not one drop of water on the track despite the dusty conditions. Quite impressesd with Ben Trigger who put in a good shift. Speaking to Glasgow fans before the meeting, they all thought we would win easy god knows what score would have been if Glasgow had been full strength. Next weekend are 2 must win fixtures if we are to have any aspirations about being in the playoffs.

Friday night

Was a bit apprehensive about r/r tonight but having watched Jonas last night a bit more confident with him, PK & Drew taking 3 of the rides

To be fair only 3 teams to choose guests from Edinburgh,Scunny & Poole. We are having to go r/r for Cook and had Kemp been riding in France we would be struggling.

Great but unexpected result for us Bandits on a well prepared track. Jeppesen after his first 2 rides was superb, ably backed up by Kemp. Batchelor and Kildemand were steady, and Smith at reserve done his job. Hagon and Wood both had nights to forget. Berwick will be hoping to secure the bonus point on Saturday against, no disrespect a weakened Glasgow team.

Craig's last home match was May 17th But due to rainoffs, Workington postponment and blank Saturday's he has only missed last 2 home meetings against Redcar & Edinburgh.

Think Rory packed in due to his job

Riding at 3 on Friday

European U 24 team Championship final Macon Saturday 26th July

On Berwick Website

surprised if they went r/r for Hagon, Jeppesen and reserves eligible to take his rides

Maybe get this weekend over see what new averages are for next week, and see what we have to play with. In a perfect world we would have Hagon at reserve.

RR would be Jeppesen and the reserves Paul Starke would fit
