Well this meeting just about summed up the end to our season. Pretty dreadful.
It was a miracle that the meeting was on at all, as the track had been flooded by heavy rain for much of the day. Top marks to our track staff for pulling out all the stops and giving us a surface which although it looked slick, actually produced some good overtaking moves. Unfortunately it was mostly the Eagles overtaking us!
We were always going to be up against it after we lost Adam the previous evening at Arlington following a heavy fall. Ed Kennett was a useful guest and he gave it his all, but the track caught him and the rest of our team out. The writing was on the wall when we were on the wrong end of a 5-1 in the opening heat.
The Eagles fully deserved their victory over the two legs and I hope they go on to do well in the competition. My parting comment is to say that I hope British speedway firmly closes the door on Zagar in 2011. The man is an absolute disgrace to the sport.
