Parsloes 1928 nearly

An extra fixture just announced. Rye House Pocket Rockets vs. Lakeside Young Hammers (2012 Capital Junior Challenge) at Rye House THIS Saturday 21st. July AFTER the Rockets vs. Glasgow PL match. Full four rider/six heat AJDL match format

The last third tier (then, Conference) team which went three months without a home fixture ended up WINNING the League - so think on...!!

Completely gutted for Gary. He won heat 2 so convincingly and seemed set fair for a really good meeting - and then this feak accident lays him low .. Give young Gary my best wishes as ever Gary Snr. Derek

I think it's true isn't it that a previous winner of the CL Pairs did so before he'd ridden a single match for the club he represented..?

I believe it's going to be Daniel Berwick today...

Young Hammers are next in AJL action at West Row, Mildenhall on this Sunday 15th. July. Two team line-ups are (NB. in alpha NOT riding order): Mildenhall Tiger Cubs: Ryan Daley; Joe Graver; Martin Knuckey; Niall Strudwick Lakeside Young Hammers: Mark Baldock; Jack Kingston; Martin Pearce; Simon Pearce Action follows the NL match between the Fen Tigers and the Isle of Wight Islanders

Indeed! I do hope the fact that the track staff are wearing Wembley Lions overalls doesn't lead to someone claiming that this track must be the Empire Stadium!!!!

Bloody hell - that's still no home NL match for the Fen Tigers since the end of MAY!!! Is the news that I'm coming up next Sunday (with my pi$$ poor record of rain offs!) gonna cheer anyone up!!!

That might be a first for Rye..? Has there ever been a Tuesday meeting at the old place I wonder..?

Sadly, of course, this meeting was rained off... Will be letting people knoiw re-arranged date soon - some work needed on our fixture list...

Cheers for clarifying that - amazing that he appeared there so young..

That is how I saw heat 4 but both the League Co-ordinator and the KL TM Wayne Dunworth saw it as Rose 2nd. & Naylor 3rd. So you pays yer money and takes yer chance with that one I guess..?!

Wayne Dunworth (Lightning TM) has it that Rose was second and Rhys third, so guess we'll go with that. Seems not just me but Falcon Hammer must've been lagging at the 'late hour' of heat four and got it wrong!!

This is completely out of order. You're right, I do not know where it is but it's literally insane to allow the notion that this is Wimbledon Stadium to remain being suggested. I can assure you it is NOT Wimbledon Stadium! And the 'tone' of my earlier posting was purely and simply to put that error straight! I'm not "complaining" about anything simply pointing out what is in any case blindingly obvious!!!

Young Hammers in AJL action on Friday (6/7) AFTER the Lakeside vs. Birmingham EL match. Opponents this week are the Rye House Pocket Rockets. Teams are (NB in alpha NOT riding order): Lakeside Young Hammers: Mark Baldock Jack Kingston Martin Pearce Simon Pearce Rye House Pocket Rockets Joe Exley Jake Hallett Brad Tokeley Danny Verge Right, well that's how I called heat 4 too but the scores in the Star (one assumes provided by Bryn..?) had it that Rhys scored 3+1 and Rose 4 +1 which strongly suggests that the writer saw it Rose second and Naylor third in that final heat! I'd conceded this point before on the basis I COULD'VE been wrong but now you've confirmed my original thoughts, seems - and whisper it quietly! - that perhaps the sainted co-ordinator MAY have got it wrong... Dale, are you out there(?), can you clarify..?!

Except that this is absolutely 100% NOT Plough Lane, Wimbledon. Couldn't be a more different looking place than Wimbledon Stadium!! And also certainly is NOT Ronnie Moore in that midget car..!

Must've been heat 4 (in the KL match) I got wrong. Would've been Rose second and young Rhys third so with the bonus. NB TWO bonus points last night for Simon..!

Pearce; Strudwick 66.7 [17-19] Jack was NOT excluded - his team mate Adam was. But jack was hurt and so had to withdraw from the rerun. Martin took his place but fell in the rerun hence the resulting 0-5. As for the KJL indiv. scores, I stand to be corrected... It was hectic, with one thing and another plus my onset of senility, so I MAY have got that wrong..? Got it ALL right tonight though with a vital Hammers win..!

Yes I thought it did look disappointingly pedestrian.. Maybe this is why the 'midgets' never took off in the UK..?

Well done to Danny! For once it's a good thing to say, Life's A Beach..!!

Exactly... In 2008 at the CL Fours at Stoke, Sittingbourne went there as a far bigger "no hope team" (as waco puts it) than anyone would be this year. Wooden spoonists with a 0% away record... Yet the Crusaders finished second in their semi to get those 'extra' rides in the Final and finished third in the Final too...!
