So both teams at full strength with no guests.  Whats the weather forecast locally?

Poole Co-Promoter Danny Ford calling for a professional performance from the Pirates, so I guess the initial target will be 34 points by heat 10.

Lets hope BSN have sorted their issues from last night........!!

Not much interest from Monarchs?

Met forecast showing heavy rain before start time then 60-80% chance of rain after.

Poole should go all out for the match win, this is about building momentum, there is stiffer opposition to come I'm thinking.

Lets hope it's not off tonight otherwise there will be a fixtures log jam with BSN covering a meeting each night next week.

So no dust or slick track but a wet, heavy track leading to crashes and processional riding. Match abandoned at 33-39. Monarchs unbeaten home record goes up in smoke too.

Pirates in final. We were there, weather did not put us off. Kyle Newman. Outstanding. Poole just better on  night, wet or dry. Hope Slater is OK after nasty crash.

Still more entertaining than most meetings at Poole.
