Well after last week's defeat we come to the final PT meeting for the Bears. Joni Keskinen makes his debut and will be interesting to see how he does, he couldn't have picked a better fixture to make his debut in. Buzz Burrows returns to the track he entertained on in 2007.
Teams:
Bears
1. Gary Havelock
2. Joni Keskinen
3. James Grieves
4. Dan Giffard
5. Ty Proctor
6. Arlo Bugeja
7. Josh Auty
Potters
1. Lee Complin
2. Mark 'Buzz' Burrows
3. Ben Barker
4. Barrie Evans
5. Emiliano Sanchez
6. Klaus Jakobsen
7. Jesper Kristiansen
The battle at reserve should be good with Josh looking to bang in some big points along with Arlo who is improving all the time. It will be the 2 Danes first visit to the track.
Prediction: The Bears to bounce back well with a 52-38 win.

Tonight was a good meeting and invaluable track time for both teams. I think the racing was alot better after the track grading as i think it was too fast for the first 4 heats to produce anything close (as odd as it may sound).
Bears
Havvy - Showed his class yet again tonight. A masterclass in team riding to keep on the inside line and let Ty through in Heat 13 for his win.
Keskinen - Looked good in Heat 1 when he wasn't far off the pace although in Heat 8 he wasn't as close. That was after bike problems though.
Grieves - Brilliant stuff from the Scottish number 1 who is on top form at the minute. Totally out witted Barker in Heat 12 after going round the outside for 3 1/2 laps, Barker then assumed he would do it again only for Jimmy to then come through on the inside.
Dan - I thought he looked better in his first 3 rides that 2 points. Sanchez produced a good ride to pass him in Heat 9.
Ty - Great stuff yet again, wasn't sure if he would come out in Heat 15 due to his big meeting at the weekend. That was probably the reason we never saw the wheelies after his wins.
Josh - Good dart up the inside in Heat 2 and rode a great line to keep Complin out in Heat 11. Looked on good form. Hopefully the spell at reserve will boost his confidence.
Arlo - Not the nest night for Budgie but still rode to his average, was in the right place at the right time to pick up the points when Barker went too wide in heat 12.
Potters
Complin - Was willing to go round the outside as always but his gating wasn't the best.
Buzz - Rode well tonight, rode the outside line more times tonight than the whole of last season.
Barker - A good young prospect who will no doubt be in the EL within the next season or so. Like Complin, he is always willing to ride any part of the track.
Evans - Way off the pace for his first 3 rides, only to gate and go in his last. Struggled in the main body.
Sanchez - Rode well to pass Dan in Heat 9, solid scoring.
Jakobsen - Not a bad debut round the STMP, a smooth rider.
Kristiansen - The better of the 2 Danes and will no doubt score heavily from reserve.
Overall it was a good win and will boost the confidence of all the Bears.
