Well done to the Comets for keeping it so close , could have snatched a draw but Monarchs got the 5-1 in heat 15.

Niklas just back from injury , no cookie, two guest reserves , can see a 20 pt win for the Monarchs , hopefully we can keep it closer though

By the end of the season Bowes will be up to speed and barring injuries Poole will be there at the sharp end of the play offs … whatever shape they are I cannot remember .

I think Bowes will come good in time and with Poole being strong they are able to deal with his low scores by his standards . No need for any rash moves .

Should be ok for home meetings , plenty of strong riders on paco , sedge and Kye to fend off away teams

They'll be partying in leith tonight.

Well done Redcar , some of the races tonight were “out of the top drawer” well done to all , Redcar reserves were v good

Well done Worky 😎

All depends on the severity, maybe 2-4 weeks if minor tear.

Rotator cuff injury.

It says in the Star the NKI has a doctors appointment today in Denmark.

Ollie Allens reply to the Lawson issue would make a politician proud.

This Saturday sees the Comets take on the Bears from Redcar at the new time of 6pm. Hopefully Craig Cook is back to full fitness after his shoulder issue at Berwick last week. Redcar again will be tough customers and have some real track specialists in Jason Edwards and Nicolai Klindt, so the Comets will have to be on good form and sharp out of the gate. This meeting sees the home debut for Max Perry as a Comet.

The wow news must have been the Northampton track re opening.

Definitely ,obvious to everyone…

A great win for the comets , well done to all the lads , wish I had been there

Hopefully our heat leaders can do the bulk of the scoring to get a win , not sure if we have r:r for for niklas

Good luck to the Comets today after a heavy away defeat and two injured riders the team needs all the support it can get .

Rearranged , more to life than speedway …..

This Sunday afternoon the Comets are up against the Berwick Bandits in this rearranged meeting which is the 2nd leg of the koc cup tie. The rejuvenated Dayle Wood guests for the Comets in both legs over the weekend and sees him Craig Cook and Jonas Jeppesen returning to shielfied as former Bandits riders. Unfortunately I cannot attend as this is a rearranged meet and planned for something else that wekend.

Doesn’t seem to work saying too many log in attempts
