Isle of Wight Speedway

Two Wightlink Warriors speedway riders dominated the top two places at the most important individual speedway meeting of the season for National League riders on Sunday afternoon.

The races promise to be a great night of speedway, fun and frolics with the gates opening at 5.30pm, pre-meeting demonstration races from 6.15, rider parade at 6.45pm ahead of the first race at 7pm.

There was no lack of effort from the Wightlink Wizards, but the Kent Kestrels ran out rightful winners leaving the Wizards to regroup ahead of their final home SDL match.

This is the Warriors' fifth home league win of the season and moves them up to sixth place in the table.

The Warriors' co-promoter Barry Bishop said it was a super speedway meeting full of good racing from everyone, spiced with a little controversy, but another disappointing home reversal.

The news that Wightlink Warriors' top rider will be leaving the club came 'out of the blue' according to the co-promoter.

Apart from Ben Morley, who posted four wins in his 14 points haul plus the fastest time by a home rider this year, no other Island rider could take the chequered flag.

The hottest team in British speedway, Mildenhall's Fen Tigers, had every home rider making influential contributions, resulting in the Wightlink Warriors coming home defeated.

The Isle of Wight ‘Wightlink’ Warriors speedway team made it two home league wins out of two as they gradually took the sting out of the Coventry Bees after providing twelve race winners.

An outstanding performance from Mildenhall emphasises just why they are most people’s choice for the league title this year.
