A Change Of Scenery


This week, with no meeting on at Ashfield, I decided to take in the Monarchs meeting at Armadale, against Rye House.. Not a bad meeting, all told, with scores fairly close until mid meeting, when the Monarchs pulled out a wee bit of a lead.


Next stop was Berwick and Shielfield Park for the meeting between Berwick & Newport. It was ruined a bit by the no-show of two of Newports Scandinavian lads (their van broke down). Despite the massive hole this left in the team, Newport made a decent fist of things, eventually losing out by 20 points. It ought to have been more..... SDhielfield is a big bugger of a track & very fast. Lacks a little in the way of overtaking at times, but as the meeting wore on, some passing was witnessed, mainly by mad New Zealander Jade Mudgway. Some breathtaking passes and a balls out style.


I'll definitely go again sometime, just as long as someone remembers to round up Dick Barrie before the meeting & lock him in one of the riders vans for the duration............... >:(
