“Predicting a winner is almost an impossibility with so many potential champions in the line-up. We couldn’t have had a better guest than Richard Lawson and it was also good to see Jye (Etheridge) and Ricky (Wells) back in the thick of the action.”īandits boss Gary Flint was pleased to see a tough league campaign end on a high as his side raced to a big win over Scunthorpe at Shielfield Park last Saturday. “It was a dominant performance and, after demolishing Plymouth last time out, at least gives our fans a winning end to what has been a frustrating season. Wolves boss Peter Adams was pleased with his side’s Bank Holiday Monday efforts as they took four points from their two meetings against Belle Vue to consolidate their place in the play-off zone. You’ve got to be at your best when it really matters at the end of the season and we’re trying to run into a bit of form.” “You have to acknowledge that Belle Vue had some difficulties and that obviously impacted on their score. Tigers boss Simon Stead took little in the way of satisfaction from a 32-28 win at Peterborough on Monday to boost their play-off position, with the meeting being abandoned due to tyre problems. But at the end of the day rider safety is paramount and regardless of the number of tyres, it wasn’t safe to continue anyway.” “More than anyone else, I feel for the supporters there was a reasonably healthy Bank Holiday crowd and for them it was desperately disappointing we couldn’t complete the full 15 heats. Peterborough Speedway would like to thank supporters for their patience whilst the discussions were ongoing prior to the abandonment.”įar from ideal circumstances at the East of England Arena on Monday as the Panthers’ clash with Sheffield was abandoned after ten races due to several tyre issues during the meeting. “We never like to abandon meetings, especially when the reason is for something other than weather or track conditions, but on this occasion it was the only decision which could be taken. Stars boss Alex Brady says they will look to keep the play-off chase alive for as long as possible after winning at Peterborough last week, although Monday’s results were not in their favour in that respect. Although it’s a long shot, mathematically we’re still in with a shout, so we’ll keep fighting for as long as we can.” We’ve said all season that if we click together we’ll do the business, and we performed well, and I’m delighted to finally get that away win. Witches boss Ritchie Hawkins says Paul Starke can still play an important role for the club as they look ahead to the play-offs, having confirmed their top four finish with a 53-37 win over Wolverhampton. I am not massively concerned, once he gets back down to reserve, he will get over his troubles and we will see him back to his best.” We have next week off and next month I expect him to be back down at reserve where he rides well. “Starkey has had some machinery issues of late and has looked a bit down on power lately and I felt that again tonight. Newly crowned German Champion Norick Blodorn enjoyed his best performance yet at the National Speedway Stadium with a ten-point score in the Aces’ 50-40 home win over Wolverhampton which takes them closer to confirming a play-off place. We knew Wolves were going to give us a tough afternoon and they delivered on that.” I think we can be happy with how this meeting went. “This was a big result for the team, but equally a big result for myself because this was the first time I’ve scored double figures at home. Masters emerged largely unscathed from a heavy pile-up in the first staging of the Final, which also involved Ryan Douglas of Scunthorpe who was able to walk away but could not take his place in the re-run.
