Wednesfield v Leicester
:
15th April 2007 |
| |
A strong Wednesfield team went home with the points against both the Lions and Monarchs, that's not the full story though as the Leicester teams nearly pulled off a couple of shock results only losing out by the very narrowest of margins. Full credit to the Aces though who battled for every point, and credit to Leicester who can put out two seperate first teams and still remain competetive.
Lions 88 (C Jarvis 15, M Whitehead 14+2, M Skinner14+1, T Sensicall 13, N Whitehead 12+2, C Whitehead 10, P Hunt 8, S Whitehead 2+1)
Wednesfield 90 (M Szymancki 20, C Jewkes 18, L Aris 17+2, G Pearce 14+2, S Doherty 8 M Aris 5, T Haddock 5, S Smith 3)
Monarchs 88 (L Nowacki 19, K Burns 17+1, C Marchant 17, P Mrugalski 13+3, S Jayes 8+2, C Shylock 6+1, J Hogan 6)
Wednesfield 90 (M Szymancki 19, G Pearce 13+1, L Aris 12+2, C Jewkes 11+3, S Doherty 11+1, T Haddock 10+1, M Aris 10+1, S Smith 4+1)
The combination matches were both easy victories for the Aces. The Monarchs had the distinction of tracking two riders making their debut - Edgaras Priezgintas (Lithuania) and Yasin Mamade (Portugal) - that's multi national for you! Both clubs gained bonus points for fielding seperate teams, quite an achievement for the home club who fielded 32 used riders on the day.
Lions 58 (B Holloway 12) Wednesfield 72 ( S Bentley 14+1)
Monarchs 44 (R McGuire 12) Wednesfield 86 (C Ellits 14+2)

First Team - Horspath 95
- Leicester 81 :
8th April 2007
Leicester were never
really in the match,
only being able to
provide 6 race winners
all day. Nowacki and
Howells were both good
value but a lack of top
end strength was all too
apparent. Mark Boaler
shone for the Hammers
winning his last 4
outings.

Combination - Horspath 63, Leicester 61
Leicester
used 8 different riders but the new rule of allowing
"doubling up" without penalty looks like costing the
Monarchs dearly, Horspath quite legitimally took
advantage of this ruleing and took the match points.
However Leicester put up a good fight and grid one tapes
exclusions for Jarvis and amazingly, Hunt (not moved for
the last 3 years I reckon!) probably cost them the
match.

Wednesfield 96 -
Leicester Monarchs 77 :
25th March 2007 |

A well organised home side never looked in
any danger against the
Monarchs, their inexperienced stand in's gave it their all
but the
Aces experience shone through, and having Marcus Wadhams at
reserve is
nothing if not effective!:

A entertaining
combination match was ruined by the referee. A last
heat decider was brought back after a melee on the first
bend, after
an eternity, and after Mick Aris declared himself
unfit,and after what
appeared to be consulatation with home riders/officials,
Tom Sensicall
was excluded, which incensed not just the Leicester
management but
unbiased spectators from neighbouring tracks.
With 3 regulars in the first team the visitors promoted
juniors but it
wasn't enough to defeat the Aces who were never headed
after heat 1,
and a 7-3 was need in that non-event final heat, so no
complaints
about the Aces taking victory, just a pity it couldn't
have been
concluded on the track.
Wednesfield 65 (T Haddock 13, S Smith 11, M Aris/M
Pedley 10+2)

LEICESTER LIONS v LEICESTER MONARCHS : 25th FEB 2007 |
|
Monarchs tame Lions in Season
Opener
The 2007 Cycle speedway season got under way on
Sunday with a Midland League fixture between two
Leicester teams. With echoes of Arsenal in
football's Carling Cup, Leicester are fielding a
second team of aspiring riders in the Midlands
this year, and the young Lions came close to
defeating their more experienced team mates.
Leicester Lions 85: M Whitehead 16+1, D Crouch
15+1 C Jarvis 13+1
Leicester Monarchs 89: M Newey 19+1, L Nowacki
18+1, N Venson 14+1
The much fancied Monarchs, much stronger on
paper ,needed a last heat maximum to dispose of
a very determined Lions side. Mark Whitehead
started with a win over Lukas Nowacki and the
Lions went into the interval 3 points up. They
extended the lead to 8 after a fine 7-3 from
youngsters Crouch and Jarvis in heat 15. However
some fine tactical riding from maximum man Newey
and then Nowacki brought the more experienced
side home. Excellent entertainment from both
sides. Consolation for the Lions was the bonus
point for fielding a seperate combination team.
Combination
Lions 55+7 penalty = 62: L Benson 11, L
Whitehead 10+1
Monarchs 75: S Jayes 20, R Venson 16+3 |
