Didn’t they announce Palovaara as completing their heat leader trio which confirms no Drew?
“ BERWICK have added Swedish star Victor Palovaara to their heat-leader department for the 2026 season.”
Don’t think Francis Gusts (5.49) or Cameron Heeps (4.93) will fit at Oxford if they sign Killeen and McDiarmid as expected.
Could they be the final two?
It has gone quiet, but now other teams are announcing I think it looks like some sort of combination of:
Connor Mountain
Luke Harrison
Zaine Kennedy
Declan Kennedy
MPT
Nathan Ablitt
All this talk of Beau Bailey but it’s now becoming clear that he was never going to fit into the team with a 5.00 point average?
Anders starts the season on 7.38 and if he pulled out late and is now replaced with Zach on 7.34 then Poole would never have had 5 points available for the number 2 position and therefore Gilkes was probably always in the team.
Poole
1. Richard Lawson 9.58
2. Dan Gilkes 4.59
3. Lewis Kerr 6.77
4. Fraser Bowes 5.63
5. Zach Cook 7.34
6. William Cairns 3.81
7. Cooper Rushen 2.00
= 39.72, with Anders it would have been 39.76. Therefore there was never an extra 0.41 to have had Beau instead of Gilkes .
