Isle of Wight Speedway

Contractual issues meant returning reserve Tyler Govier didn't take part in last night's race, which the Wightlink Warriors went on to lose to Birmingham.

Co-promoter Martin Widman reports the Warriors are very hopeful of securing some new faces very shortly.

The speedway meeting was called to a halt after five races last night after the light rain increased in intensity.

The Wight Warriors will be welcoming the Lakeside Hammers to the Andrew Younie Smallbrook stadium this Thursday, but without Nathan Greaves who has joined another club.

There's free entry Thursday at Island Speedway, as the fraternity celebrate the life of late Bryn Williams, Warriors former stadium announcer and press officer who sadly passed away last year.

Warriors’ captain James Cockle emerged from practice day to tell fans that he was determined to defend his title tonight.

Jamie Sealey - who has become the seventh rider for Wightlink Warriors in 2017 - shone through at the press and practice day on Saturday.

Watch the riders free of charge this Saturday at Smallbrook Stadium in Ryde.

Wightlink's support and sponsorship of Island Speedway will make a big difference to the Warriors in 2017 say Warriors boss.

Island Speedway are offering free advertising for three Isle of Wight companies in the coming year.

Smallbrook was subject to multiple break-ins over the weekend. Wightlink Warriors boss says the break-ins are not just an attack on the stadium, but on all the work put in by volunteers.
