Wel well well what a great night for myself, dad and all my friends who witnessed Leicester lions winning a top flight trophy for the first time. God it really couldn't have gone any better for me. I was first concerned about the forecast and it turned out to be dry and a beautiful summers day. I mean even Drew Kemp looked a completely different rider. Every single lions rider turned up and looked great chipping in with some vital points. Alot of the fans I spoke to were semi nervous/excited, just like myself but looking at the final score was it ever in doubt? I mean a 60-30 is an absolute thrashing especially for a final, message sent to the rest of the league. I feel for Lynn fans, I saw a few around but they weren't very noisy. I can't blame them either because half of there riders didn't turn up. I know the ref made a controversial call in heat 6 but let's be honest it wouldn't have any difference whatsoever. Leicester are simply too strong at home. Wow great night of speedway and to see so many supporters celebrating at the end was great. We were all bouncing on bend 2 with smiles all round. GET IN !!!! Champions!!!!!!

I've been going through heat by heat trying different scenarios of how the meeting could pan out. Every time it ends up in a lions win by at least 4-10 points. I suspect Klindt will replace Harrison and possibly Iversen in heats 11 and 14. I wouldn't rule out Klindt taking a ride for Nicholls or Bomber either if they end up mis firing. I'm sure Lawson, Kvech, Klindt and Harris will score respectfully, but its a big ask for Nicholls, Iversen and Harrison to do the business also. Nicholls is only just returning from the sidelines, Iversen doesn't seem match fit and Harrison will find it tough. I've not even mentioned how Harris has been struggling with his set up. You also have to take into consideration that Kemp should score a few more points tonight, I don't expect him to beat the likes of Lawson and Kvech but Kemp on his day can beat Nicholls, Iversen and even Klindt at Leicester. Having said that I've only got him down scoring 2 points! I do have hope for Lynn as its a one off meeting and the lions aren't unbeatable at home but they really do need abit of luck and a real team effort. Going for a 48-42 win for the lions. If Leicester do manage to disappoint me again then at least the cup is going to Lynn. They deserve something to cheer them up.
