Richard Lawson: Pirates wins vs Glasgow and Redcar set marker | Bournemouth Echo
Poole Pirates' Winning Streak
Poole Pirates speedway team has demonstrated a resurgence in form, securing wins against Glasgow and Redcar. Richard Lawson's top scoring performance has been crucial to their success.
Overcoming Inconsistency
The Pirates had an inconsistent start to the season, despite aiming to defend their BSN Series, KO Cup, and Championship titles. They progressed to the BSN Series semifinals and the KO Cup semifinals after overcoming initial setbacks.
Setting a Marker
Following their recent victories, the team aims to maintain their momentum. Richard Lawson highlighted their improved performance, stating it sets a marker for their rivals and demonstrates their ability to overcome challenges.
Looking Ahead
The Poole Pirates are currently top of the league after five matches. They look to continue their success, with a focus on maintaining the momentum and avoiding any perception of vulnerability.
Rocketman Lawson top scored as Poole beat the Bears at Wimborne Road on Wednesday night, backing up an excellent victory at Glasgow the previous Friday.
It had been an inconsistent start to the season as the Pirates looked to defend their BSN Series, KO Cup and Championship titles from 2024.
They scraped through to the semifinals of the BSN Series as best runners up after some unconvincing showings against Oxford and Plymouth saw them finish second in the South Group.
But since, they overturned an eight-point first leg deficit in the cup to progress to the final four, and they are top of the league table after five meetings.

“To do what we've done in the last two matches, it sets the marker and we've got to keep that going.
“I feel like it's always harder to back titles up, but I think we're looking good now.”
