Very entertaining meeting with some cracking races. Nine scores of 5-1  4 to Scunny and 5 for the Comets meant the tie was close throughout. The Kennedy brothers impressed for the Scorpions especially Declan who bagged 10 points which included 3 heat wins. He was involved in two close 5-1's over Comets 3 and 4 pairing of Tate Zischke and Fraser Bowes the latter of whom in particular raced hard with little reward. Not sure this Comets paIring has worked particularly well over the two weekend meetings and I think both riders will have better days going forward. It was good to see Antti improve as the meeting went on, he was particularly impressive in heat 15, would love to see the level of skill and confidence he displayed coming through more in his away performances because there is a real racer in there. Good to see Jye bagging 8 points following an exclusion in his first ride bearing in mind he came out of a 3 rider first bend crash at Redcar Friday night looking a bit worse for wear.

The 1-5 to the Scorpions in heat 14 after bringing in Steve Worrall as a tac sub took the meeting it to a last heat decider. Choice of gates for the Comets was important as gate 4 hadn't produced a lot of points during the meeting, Scunny would surely have taken 1 and 3 if it had been there call. Bit surprised Declan Kennedy didn't get a full 7 rides and I thought Comets may have used Vinnie as a reserve switch in heat 14. Jacobs machinery has failed him in both weekend meetings something he will need to sort out. Steve Worrall was solid for the  Scorpions as was Connor Mountain. Jake Allen wasn't anywhere near as impressive as he had been the week before ar Redcar.  I had hoped for a greater margin of victory to put us in with a shout of the aggregate bonus point but after witnessing how competitive the racing was I was pleased with the win. UTC !

Think they are hanging off until Victor is out of reserve position🤔👍

Then fans wonder why the season then runs to the end of October.
