He went inside outside he W him up he looked for the Gap and he bur through it I think he’s not it what the Finish [Applause] unbelievable this is good racing ladies and gentlemen Here the for another 51 good evening and welcome to the Pirates TV viewers I’m Scott Mitchell and I’m your presenter and commentator for the evening and tonight we bring you a fixture the last home fixture of the regular season for the Pirates as they take on the Birmingham brummies so where
Have we been and what have we been up to well the Pirates their last fixture is here tonight at home their last away fixture is next week on Wednesday at Edinburgh now Oxford their main Rivals to top the league they also have two fixtures with the Scorpions at home and
Glasg go away and to stay on top of the Pirates they’re going to need to win away at Glasgow and pick up the bonus point so what about the brummies well the brummies took a bit of a bit of blow last week they had a last night they had
A chance of being in the top six for the playoffs and unfortunately Edinburgh winning away at Plymouth has dashed their hopes a little bit so the brummies really need to take something for tonight’s meeting but nothing can be guaranteed here for the Pirates they need a home win and a bonus point to
Send them back top of the table now we talk about you know how interesting and why do we need to be top of the table well this year the playoffs work slightly differently six teams go into the playoffs but the top team pick their two playoff opponents it’s going to be
Running two Min groups of three so two mini leagues so the winner goes and picks their two opponents in their mini league so that’s the importance for Oxford and for Paul to win the league so let’s head over to the pits see who rob dy’s got with him with some more
Information about to nice meeting well ahead of the meeting tonight against the brummies Danny Ford the co-promoter here at Paul has come and had a word with us Danny let’s just turn the clock back a few days uh it was meant to be a trip to Edinburgh on Friday night but the weather’s
Intervened I know most of the boys were there and uh it was one of those last minute decisions and it had to be called off yeah really um really frustrating you know um Ed’s not just uh around the corner unfortunately it’s a you know good uh good old trip up there so yeah
You know it’s it’s one of those things um the fourth cast wasn’t looking too great um but they decided to run with it it seemed to be clearing up um and I I was 5 miles away from the stadium and it was blue skies got a little bit closer
And um yeah the heavens opened and it was uh really torrential um and it was a prolonged period of rain there was nothing they could do at that stage um it’s frustrating but we’re up there again next week so hopefully it’s Third Time Lucky yeah and it was the brummies
Of course who are here tonight we’re up there in a and uh frustrating for them as well as the Pirates exactly yeah exactly both teams got a a long old trip to get up there you know we got three Lads based down here in pool one in Swindon so you
Know and we have to pay Riders mileage so it’s it’s you know it’s a cost for the club unfortunately no one likes these situations and um I’d be interested to know the statistics on how many rain offs there have been this year because um yeah there’s definitely been
A fair few so yeah fingers crossed um we can get that going next week and um yeah that’s uh hopefully should say stop of the league onto Sunday and there was a bit of a danger of a rainoff as well because it was the championship league Riders Championship final at red car
Which is a bit of a mouthful absolutely but um that meeting at one stage looked to be in doubt but the red car club actually pulled out all the stops and got a great race track together yeah um when I turned up at red car the track
Covers were down but it was raining quite heavily and um based on the night before situation I was pretty certain it wasn’t going to go ahead but fair play to the red car track staff you know um they deliver probably the best track um in Britain bar bellw
And um they worked tirelessly I could see that the track covers did their job and the racing service was absolutely brilliant so full credit to them yeah and the meeting itself went quite well for the Poor Boys certainly initially Ben cook with 13 points in the qualifying section to take first pick of
Gates in the main final was a bril brilliant performance from Young Ben uh and Richard Lawson who needed a win in his last qualifying ride pulled out a gate from the outside position and he got through into the repage of the semi-final playoff so two two Pirates at
The uh crunch end of the meeting yeah Richard always comes up clutch in those situations you know he’s we always say he’s a big heat Rider and um when it came down to it he needed two Heat wins in his final two races and he delivered um just to squeeze into the semi-finals
Unfortunately he was left with graveyard gate in in that which was unfortunate and um took a nasty nasty crash in that semi-final so thankfully he’s back today he missed a couple of fixtures for Leicester earlier in the week but he’s back um you know he won’t be 100% fit
But what speed rider ever is but um it was important we have have him here tonight and yeah Ben was just Sensational that night um Ben really likes redcast track um he he’s very very quick round there and I was going into it thinking he’s a dark
Horse you know I was saying if there was um if there was some decent odds you you could um definitely stick a stick a f on him cuz um he’ll give it a go and he’ll mix it up with the best of him at that
Kind of track and he did just that um he was Sensational uh and I think in the first staging of the final him and bommer had made made the gate um unfortunately you know that was that coming together with Charles and Danny and in the rerun Ben didn’t make it so
He just he got caught up in traffic and um he had self-referred but I think all in all he can probably reflect on that and being a great success because no one gave him a any chance in hell of pulling out a Podium and um he did just that
Yeah it was it was a great performance and if the meeting had been run on traditional lines of just 20 Heats then he’d have come out on top but uh that’s one for his locker for the future exactly exactly he’s still young he’s got plenty of time where um a few the
Guys got a little F years on him and what we’ve got now of course is the brummies in town tonight as we build up to the climax of the Season glass are still in it Oxford of course are still there we go top of the table tonight
With a win here and uh it’ll be nice to get back there but it’s all going to hinge on that last week of the Season isn’t it next week There’s key fixtures to Oxford there’s key fixtures at Edinburgh and it’s going to take a mathematician probably to work it out at
The end of the day but I’m sure you’re confident that the Pirates will be there and there at the death yeah I think so um in my honest opinion I think it comes down to us and Oxford um obviously we need to win both of our meetings
Starting here tonight and then uh away edor next Wednesday should we do them um it all really comes down to um Oxford’s visit to Glasgow um which obviously is a very tough place to go Glasgow have recently just strengthened by bringing in Tarasenko it all hinges on that if
Oxford go there and get the win they finish top in my view and um if if they don’t we finish top so um we’ll be looking at that that fixture keenly tonight Danny you’ve got the onerous job of put standing in the shoes of Mr Neil
Mich knels away uh what’s going to be your message to the Riders here tonight can’t allow complacency see set in to be honest um obviously we’re heavily favorites in this fixture let’s let’s be honest so um but you know these are the kind of banana skins that can um often
Trip me up and um our goal’s top um we need to be winning tonight and we should be winning comfortably we want to send out a message and we want to go into the playoffs with a good some good form so can’t take off off the gas can’t afford
To and um yeah just uh message the boys just give 100% like they have been done all season well it’s been a nice day here in pool the sun’s out now and it’s shining on the right just as they say go well tonight yes well in pit Lane with the general
Manager of the brummies it’s Lawrence Rogers Lawrence welcome back to Paul and uh it’s um not been the best of seasons has it for the bammies if we’re perfectly honest not at all no it’s certainly a mixed bag all the way through you know way win at Plymouth as
Well we won away at baric nearly beat red uh you know it’s not been good at home though it’s It’s Tricky situation isn’t it because you’ve had a little bit of a revolving door as far as Riders are concerned um starting off with James right who never really came to the tapes
For you and it’s just carried on from there yeah James was very unlucky of course he was injured before season started in the PO start testimony at Plymouth came back for one meeting at home and then Glasgow in his second ride literally couldn’t hold on to the bike
And that that was his season over after that it’s been as you said a revolving door a revolving door that featured Nick Morris at one stage and having to cover his absence has been a real tricky problem for you very tricky problem you know but you know we’ we’ve had some
Great guests Richard Lawson’s been superb as our away guest Josh picker as our home guest but he’s our away guest tonight you know but those two have done a great job covering for Nick can we talk about what’s going to happen at Birmingham in the future Lawrence
Because there are so many rumors and and things flying around of what might might not happen um tell us how you see it from your managerial perspective well we’ve got a meeting next week uh which we’ll find out a little bit more situation that there is the dogs seemingly are going to
Be moving out at some stage and moving to the uh horse racing track in wver Hampton which is AR going anyway uh but we don’t know the time scale on that um longterm Le the lease holders May well put in for housing on the site so uh
Long-term future we don’t know uh but for now we you we aim to be back Perry bar next year and uh it’s a case of wait and see the fans have been very patient haven’t they and it would be a disaster if uh with wolver Hampton closing the
Brummies were to go down as well tremendous uh pity mate because you know that means that the West mland won’t have a track you know centry go on you know CAD went these up a while ago wolver Hampton go in there and if we go that’s uh unlucky but you know we aim
Not to go so back to tonight and a big task for the brummies here against Pirates at the top of the table but uh it’s banana Skilling Prospect here if pirates aren’t careful and I’m sure you’re trying to uh Institute a bit of a surprise oh very much so you know uh the
Boys know what’s is needed you know Edinburgh winning at Plymouth last night wasn’t good for us uh but uh it’s still uh in with a chance and I’m sure you’ll be fighting for it all the way absolutely mate say Well done to all your team go well tonight and let’s hope

Uh and then the rerun final just didn’t go your way no um you know if you said it to me at the start of the meeting that uh that I’d finish on the podium I probably wouldn’t have believed you I mean that was my goal to uh make the
Final but it’s a it’s a tough tough meeting you know it’s obviously the 16 of the best boys in the leag so uh it is tough to string five good races to get to that final and uh I managed that and I made a good start in the first one and
Uh I still haven’t watched the replay but um yeah apparently you know tough tough decision maybe against me but who knows it’s run and done now just move on yeah that’s that’s all you can do you did make a good start in that first running sorry and we’re underway so thanks Ben and
Goodbye gate one is Ben Cook in red for the Pirates he won first on time out in Gate two Stephan neelson in yellow yet to trouble the scorers in gate three in blue is Zack cook he picked up a bonus Point following his brother home three and gate four is Josh picker
In the guest for the brummies seems to be going for him now and he’s riding some good stuff here at the end of the season always the potential here to be the thorn in the Pirates by Josh picker in Ben Cook’s been moved over he tried to start on
A nice clean bit there in Gate one but the our start martial having none of it Gates go up on heat five and away we go Zach has made it up the inside and what a move that is from Nielson the former pirate says hang on a minute son you’re not coming through
Here now Ben Cook has come up the ja Avenue got underneath Neilson left a bit of space and Zach followed him through really showed the back wheel to niilson there to Ben Cook open the door for his brother now everybody’s looking over the shoulder no need to boys you’re out
Front you’re on a 5-1 they fear picker in but Pickering got a bit tied up there missed the start a little and got stuck at the back all the time he got by neelson the Pirates boys were gone out front so as we come around the last couple of
Turns it’s another 5-1 for the Cook Brothers has to come over the line red blue white and yellow team the inat number five it’s a 5-1 heat advantage in the favor of the Pirates stretch their lead on the night and overall on Aggregate and here they
Come right again like they joined it a hit these two winner he five was Ben cooking Red it’s a couple of wheelies there for the mid- team stronghold of the Pirates so here’s the confirmation of your heat five result it was a win for Ben Cook in red followed home by his brother Zack cook we seem to be saying that more often in blue in third was just picker
In for the brummies and fourth after what was a fantastic start from Nielson in yellow for the brummies so our match score after five Heats it’s 21 to the Pirates nine to the brummies here’s our lineup for heat six in Gate one Justin sedman in white for the
Brummies they only heat winner so far tonight in G two in red is Richard Lawson for the Pirates he’s also won a heat in gate three Sam Hagen Ro valiantly for his point he’s in yellow and in gate four Kyle Newman in blue for the Pirates takes her up and we away and
Lawson’s got over the top of six man Newman’s coming up the inside of Sam Hagen now he’s trying to come up the inside of SII the hum’s giving it a good go around the inside there but it’s the Rocket Man out front I suppose if you got an injury it’s the
Best place to be get out there and try and clear off sedan’s chasing him hard in white for the bromes but doesn’t look to be making any inroads Sam Hagen looks to be making a few inroads at the back back on KL Newman rolled in a little
There onto turn one but he is still trying Newman Hagen’s trying the high and wide run Newman staying down low at the minute Hagen still giving it another go the young 18yearold he’s learning with every turn of the wheel but out front it’s a win for the Rocket Man in red
Followed by white followed by Blue followed by yellow making it look comfortable out in front in the red helmetor for heat Richard 42 heat advantage in the favor of the Pirates here’s the result of heat six there’s your winner Richard Lawson and you can hear behind me the Rocket Man theme
Plays John’s Rocket Man synonymous with Richard Lawson’s wins here so confirmation of your heat six result it was a win for Richard Lawson in red for the Pirates second was Justin sedman for the bommies in White in third was Kyle Newman in blue for the Pirates and in fourth was
Sam Hagen in yellow for the brummies 5929 quite a quick time there for Richard lson so uh match score after six Heats is 25 to the Pirates 11 to the brummies new the last into the tapes there rocket man just absolutely drove all the way to the first turn got there
Over the top Newman did the cut back and cut under Sam Hagen who had already gone for the dir and that’s where we stayed for the rest of the heat so here we go it’s heat seven sponsored by Wessex Marine in Gate one is Steve warl the
Pirates Captain in red in Gate two Troy bachelor in white for the bommies in gate three is Anders Row in blue for the Pirates and in gate four is Alfie botel in yellow for the Brm Rob Wen on start Marshall calls the riders in motel is the last in Stevie warl there right down on the inside motel trying to find a nice smooth place to start Rob wam saying he was infringing and out of his box you see how Dody is down there on gate one
Warl puts his front wheel over the inside and cuts through on the inside there of the rer in white Troy Bachelor Anders Ro coming on in third it’s botel at the back he never really did find the start position he was looking for obviously but Steve warl out
Front in red for the pirate the Pirates Captain who will be riding at the speedway GP on Saturday how excited must he be for That riding again tomorrow it’s a Thursday meeting and then it’s up to pra cardi for practice on Friday but this one’s overall by the shouted it’s a win for the rider in red Steve warl followed by white followed by Blue followed by by yellow another four two heat advantage
In the favor of the Pirates you really are starting to run away with This here’s your heat Winner Steve warl there in front so heat seven confirmation of the result it’s a win Steve warl in red for the Pirates in second Troy bachelor in white for the brummies in third Anders roow in blue for the Pirates and in fourth is Alfie botel in yellow for the
Brummies so the match score after seven Heats it’s 29 to the Pirates 13 to the brummies Danny Ford Danny I just picked you up on the live stream and uh a good start for the Pirates it’s just what you’ve been asking for yeah so far so
Good we said we’re going to hit him hard from the start boys are doing just that you know um can’t simplifies with Birmingham we need to keep our foot on the gas the whole way through so rich has come into the meeting two rides and two wins it looks as if there’s nothing
Wrong but I bet he’s hurting inside yeah I think he’s running off adrenaline a lot at the minute um he keeps coming in from the races and you see him limping around but I think um even a you know 80% fit Rich Lawson’s better than probably the majority of the riders in
This in this league so um yeah it’s good to see him rid in um and uh yeah a couple more of those we’ll be happy yeah do you think you might take him out of one just to give him a rest later on we’ll just see how it goes I’ll keep
Checking in with him um obviously the score is pretty heavy in our favor so if we do need to take him out hopefully we got that luxury but um I don’t want to take him out we don’t have to he’s um riding really well and obviously um
Earning some good money so uh yeah we’ll see how things go okay thanks Danny thanks for your time in Gate one it’s Joe Thompson in blue for the Pirates in Gate two is Paul Stark in yellow for the brummies in gate three is Kyle Newman in red for the
Pirates and in gate four in white it’s Stefan Nielson Stefan Nelson made an awesome start in his last ride but he lost his way a little bit and then got pushed up by Ben Cook and ended up coming in at the back away we go again and neelson looked
To have made another good one again but he didn’t come across and that let the two Pirates boys go straight through it’s Newman and Thompson out front for the Pirates bit of Team ring may be needed here Newman likes the wider line Thompson will go a little bit tighter and
Block the chance of Paul Stark going by but Paul Stark made a mistake there down on Ben 2 and he lost a couple of bike lengths so it’s two laps out and Newman’s out front leading being followed by Joe Thompson and as I said
At the start of the meeting on the r of lineup Joe Thompson seems to get better and better every turn of the wheel here at wimbor Road getting used to the conditions every bit of shell is different here in the UK and how it’s made and how it’s mixed and he’s getting
Used to the stuff down here at Paul for it’s a win for KL Newman in red followed by Blue followed by yellow followed by white it’s a PIR two inat number eight as go over the line and Joe Thoms 51 heat advantage in favor of the
Pirates as Danny Ford said he wanted the Pirates to hit them hard early and that’s exactly what’s happening here here’s your race winner in red Kyle Newman the local man comes round to Applause followed by his teammate Joe Thompson there so confirmation of the heat eight result it’s a win for KH
Newman in red for the Pirates followed home by his partner in Blue Joe Thompson in third was Paul Stark for the brummies he picks up the one point and in fourth Stephen Nelson so the match score after the heat eight is 34 to the Pirates 14 to the

Similar line to brother out front seems to be following in his Wheel tracks sedan’s going to have to find something from another angle because you can’t pass if you’re R in the same line as the rider in front at the moment it’s the cook boys starting to leave sedman
Behind Cooks looking masterful his confidence must be Sky High after that Podium finished in the championship Riders championship and he comes home for his third win the night it’s red blue white and yellow as they come over the line they’ve been theous of the Pirates it’s another 51 in the favor of the [Applause] Pirates here’s your race winner once again it’s Ben Cook and Zach cook with the traditional wheelies what a Powerhouse these two have been in the middle of the order Pirates this year here’s the confirmation of the Heat result of heat nine it’s a win for Ben

Batch looks over his old shoulder to see who’s behind him and it’s Joe Thompson for the Pirates doing a sterling job Sam Hagen again at the back but it isn’t for the lack of trying the young man in yellow really is giving it a good go
He’s all over Joe Thompson again I for one are interested to watch this young man develop Sam Hagen you’ve not heard the last of him that’s for sure rides a smooth ride but it’s Ben Cook doing even more smoothness out front in red for the Pirates he’s now starting to

Wrist and here we go and as row went around the outside and Zack cook didn’t make the start but cut back to pass the D brummies and as we go into the top turn Alfie got right out there and then the fence was coming quicker than the track

Three in blue is Ben cook for the Pirates and in gate four in yellow is Troy Bachelor Riders are all in for heat 15 start Marshall goes our referee list Ted and S he’s absolutely got a flyer but Ben Cook has caught him going into turn one has he gone too wide too early no he has not oh what a move from B cook goes around the outside of SGI he was
Absolutely flying batch is now trying to come up the inside of Zach Zach’s going out wide he’s going to try and have SII as well he’s caught up a couple of bik lengths on SII Zach’s really trying the wide line oh batch comes up the inside
Of Zach oh it’s still beard showing in the back wheel that’s the batch of old coming back there but it’s Ben cook out front he’s looking at a 15 points max if he can stay there Zach’s not done here he’s trying that inside line on Bachelor it was hard move from him but

Gotta say your presentation is awesome. Well done. I'm a Pirate fan. I live in South Australia and although they're great, I'm not related to Ben or Zach. Keep up the good work guys. Thankyou.
