Shaleshifter Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 On Wednesday the Pirates return to action taking on the Monarchs in the second leg of the Bsn semi-final. The Monarchs have a 2 point lead from the first leg at Armadale. They may have Dan Thompson back from his broken collar bone injury so should be at full strength. There could be some key battles between the heat leaders and Second strings and i expect the Pirates reserves to outscore Mitchell Cluff and Jordy Loftus although Cluff is riding better than earlier in the season. Kye Thomson is on form so could have a good meeting, it will depend on how well Justin Sedgeman and Dan T go on the night. Also how well Jonatan Grahn and Paco Castagna perform. Sticking my neck out, the Pirates to win and progress to the final but the Monarchs are no pushovers. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Should be a good meeting. Edinburgh have decent strength throughout the team. Cooper up in the team for this one? Pirates by 10 and progress to final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitza Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Will Dan be on the pace from the get-go? Joe Thompson for Paco? Should be a good evening at Wimborne Road, if you're a Pirate fan. -2 deficit is totally doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 Reminds me of Poole’s last meeting of 2025 against Redcar. Two down from first leg with everyone expecting a relatively easy home win and Bears upset the apple cart. Pirates will need to be switched on from the off to make sure of progress as the Monarchs are a very capable team this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but this Edinburgh team are quite a bit short of that Redcar team and I think we will win fairly easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prob agree with that,Edinburgh very good team this year and We will lose a bit of strength at reserve so 50-40 seems about right,think they will put Cooper to no4 in a straight away with Kyle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 I wont be there for this one as my mother’s 90th birthday party takes priority. Question for Andy who runs the streaming service. If I buy a stream, can I watch it on Thursday morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, yes once the live broadcast has completed, the vod file will be active a few minutes later, and this remains active for all that have purchased the live stream ongoing.

SteveLyric2 Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 So weather permitting, Pirates have a full 1-7 again with Cooper in at 4, as expected, and Fraser returning at 2. Should be a close meeting imo, but Poole to reach the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 No Tac Subs either, usually makes a difference if a rider not on it & only reserve change allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur54 Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Quite a few heavy showers around the Poole area today, and more forecasted for tomorrow, hopefully the track can stand up to it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
