This Is Speedway

Reading Racers have new opponents in the Premier League Fours championship at Derwent Park, Workington, tomorrow (7pm).

Reading Racers have officially confirmed my story in the Post on Wednesday that they will be leaving Smallmead at the end of the season.

BRENDA Leat will be a face in the crowd for many Belle Vue fans when the club celebrate its 80th anniversary at Kirkmanshulme Lane on Monday.

BEES will be visiting Lakeside in the Elite League next Wednesday after the Purfleet fixture was controversially re-instated to the list.

CHRIS Harris and Olly Allen have both been declared fit for Coventry’s ‘must-win’ battle with Wolverhampton tonight.

This weeks action at Ashfield on Sunday at the usual start time of 4.00pm sees the Buildbase Glasgow Tigers take on the Reading Racers. The visitors are still harbouring ambitions of a place in the top four this season and will have targeted this meeting as a potential win.

Below is the Press Release for this encounter with news of guests for both sides as well as an enforced change in the Tigers riding order.

Young Aussie Josh Grajczonek is keeping himself very busy with a couple of guest bookings. On Wednesday night Josh notched 5+2 from 5 rides in the narrow win for Birmingham against Redcar, scoring in every ride. Josh will again guest for the Brummies on Friday night in their away fixture at Scunthorpe, which will give him some much needed practice prior to our visit there in August. This of course will be followed by a very busy spell for the Buildbase Tigers with meetings on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

SPEEDWAY: Crisis club Peterborough Panthers have been hit by another departure.

Lynn racer Kevin Doolan fired the Stars into Premier League pole position last night at the Norfolk Arena. Doolan’s masterful display underlined why the Aussie can rightly be acclaimed the league’s best on his current scintillating form.

BRUMMIES returned to winning ways with the narrowest possible success at Perry Barr last night.
