As per the Pirates website!! ps. the last I heard about Riss was that he's still unfit to ride and seeking further investigation with a Neurologist! Ipswich concur!

"You know it makes sense, Rodney!"

May 31st now deferred in favour of Poole v Oxford KO Cup semi-final on 30th and 31st.

Great to see Stevie back on it!

So the ref stops the race cos he spots the airfence deflating! Calls for the interval to be taken - fine. Racing resumes and one race later theres an immediate track grade and watering? Any attempt to favour the home team seems to have faltered.

Can anyone else hear the grinding of teeth!!? Ha ha. Fair play Gav. Due to visa issues this is the first year that Ben Cook could race in more than one league.

Team line-ups as expected?!

Oh no that's very sad. We had some superb gatherings at the Stewkesbury homes back in the day with Merv, Pete Jackie and Ros. R.I.P. Mervyn Great Obituary on the BSPL website today with very nice words from Chris Van Stratten and Rosco!

Fair play to Morris, Sedgman and Bowtell who all performed above and beyond at Wimborne Road last night!!

A more local derby for a charity might explain it then?!

Announced from centre green last night to disregard where its shown as 19th - its the 20th, and showing as such on the Pirates and Bears websites.

Confirmed as 20th at Poole last night

Certainly some fast race times with Doyley recording the fastest of the season so far in heat one. Track grades after every 2 heats agreed with both teams and ref after the track walk! With Doyley so much faster than everyone, some of the races were a bit processional but nonetheless a decent challenge in front of a sparse crowd - maybe the presence of a GP rider doesn't attract more fans if its a meaningless meeting??!!

Touched base with Terry today and wished him well. His son is doing the track work for him temporarily. Terry is on this forum but I wont reveal his ID.

He kept getting excluded for jumping the start!!

Poole - Douglas replaces Steve Worrall who is ill.

Bowtell for Neilsen

Unless it was the club that withdrew the offer!!?

I think the 'star' may have tarnished a little!!!!

Thank goodness Poole's CMAs won't change til July 1st.

Hardly, with his higher average!!

Maybe if the original job offer to Kemp had not been withdrawn, he may have come to the rescue, rather than concentrating solely on Poland!! As for Anders, he is still not 100% recovered from his shoulder/collar bone injury - Only took 3 rides for Poole on Wednesday as it was giving him some grief. Not sure he would be upto Premiership racing at the moment, but who can tell - we know what riders are like!!!!

I've put it on 'ignore'!

So the Swindon Select 1-5 is Doyle, Morris, Sedgman, Rowe and Neilsen - with the 2 reserves to be confirmed over the weekend. Poole track winter target Keynan Rew in place of Anders Rowe!
