I can see a decent Leicester win here. The Belle Vue side looks the weakest since the Colts reformed imo.

Obviously when they keep lowering the points limit that's to be expected. Looks a tough ask for Jack Shimelt to step up into the top 5.

But if the focus is on development rather than winning, then the team looks fine.

It turned out to be a Leicester win, but only really due to Rushen’s heroics!

But I agree with your comments on Belle Vue. Their double change looks to have made them weaker with Shimelt unfortunately pushed into the top 5, but no flying reserve behind him to send him to reserve later on. Kingston is inconsistent too after his long spell out. 

Does anyone know the reason for Harry McGurk leaving the team? Is it just the points limit or did he quiet as well?

Highly entertained fixture in what turned out to be the Cooper Rushden show, what a magnificent performance. 

Colts over riding at times but it’s all a learning curve and if they do it in this engaging manner I’m happy with my season ticket. 

It’s disappointing that we can’t get more people along as the price for adults and a load of kids is peanuts and at only a quarter of a second per lap slower than the top lads it’s baffling that so few attend, especially with it being so entertaining.
