Berwick v Redcar 3/05/25 KO Cup 1/4 Final 1st Leg 7-00pm


Normski

Recommended Posts

A win is a win, but I’m not overly convinced. 
Positives are Dale Wood who is a definite upgrade on Freddie Hodder. I like his tenacity. 
Kemp is the top guy, no doubt and I’m presently surprised by Cookie, he looks happier than I’ve seen him for ages. 
His clashes with Charles Wright were fascinating. 
I’d love to seen Wright as a Bandit one day. 
Sam Hagon is a real worry though, especially the way Jake Mulford passed him wish ease on the back straight. He’s nowhere near the rider we saw come up with Poole last season.

Another gripe is the track. Used to seeing riders go high and wide on bends three and four and swoop down the home straight, but there seems to be little help there at all.

Hagon can still ride in NL/NT. Anyone who rode in 2024 is eligible for 2025.

I maybe wrong but I did read this. To be eligible for the National Development League (NDL) in British Speedway, riders must generally meet certain criteria, including not having a Championship average of 4.00 or above

What I have read above is wrong. You are correct he can still ride in the lower league. Maybe it was a mistake on his part in choosing not to ride in that league. We can all see he is lacking confidence and having that league as a backup would have done him the world of good.

Welcome home win but by no where near enough to go through in my, no fault of his own but Hagon in the No3 position isn't going to cut it.

Bastion not living up to expectations threw a spanner in the works even although he had a low average improvement was expected.Sam has had  a ropey start to the season,moving into 3or 4 is big ask.Danyon being inconsistent does help matters though. The rest are doing OK.Hopefully Cookie continues his very good start to the season.unfortunately very small league makes it a short season if your not on it from the start.
