Poole v Lakeside (Ch) - 12.03.08

[schumi]

Poole will be 'governed' by newly appointed assistant team manager Jim Lynch as regular boss Neil Middleditch is unavailable for this meeting, although Middlo will be back in the driving seat for the return trip to Lakeside on Friday.

Wednesday teams:
Poole Castle Cover Pirates (from): Bjarne Pedersen, Adam Skornicki , Dave Watt
Karol Zabik, Chris Holder, 'Zibi' Suchecki and Freddie Eriksson
Lakeside (from): Andreas Jonsson, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Adam Shields,
Leigh Lanham, Jonas Davidsson, Ricky Kling and Lubos Tomicek

Taken from Poole's official website.

Well, this is the first fixture that I'll be paying full attention to, especially to see how the Hammers do. Not going to make a predicition, but I think this will be a good meeting, and a fair indication of what we can expect from both teams throughout the season. Hoping, naturally, for a Lakeside win, and I don't think it's out of the question. Poole will be depending on Zabik being fully fit, but no question marks over Holder's performance after the Diamond Jubilee.

Looks like I was completely wrong about the scores.

I bet Belle Vue are wishing they'd kept hold of Skornicki now.

Edit: actually, some strange scores all round, but hopefully the practise will have blown off the cobwebs for the return leg.

I'm rather surprised by that score Schumi, I thought it would be much tighter than that...but like you say cobweb blowing.A bit of set up fiddling aswell maybe..?

I had to check the Poole site halfway through to make sure Bjarne and Skornicki scores weren't being transposed!

I did think at one stage that it would be a Lakeside away win as they started off so strong but Poole seemed to finally click (apart from Skornicki, he clicked straight away) about midway through and then completely blasted Lakeside away.
