Main Man Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well looks like we will go with 5 riders in a six heat individual event. Unfortunately Lloyd Barrett ( son of former rider Wayne) is missing as he has exams at school on Tuesday and it's a long way back from Wolves to the West Country. Taking part will be : Rhys Naylor, Adam Portwood, Tom Stokes, Connor Dwyer and Joe Newey. Be nice to see a good number of fans stay on to watch the kids in action.

Main Man Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well done to the lads tonight. It was all a bit rushed with a late finish to the EL match but they got to the end. Joe Newey was unlucky to miss out after crashing and being caught by Conor Dwyer who couldn't miss him in Ht 2 and his bike was a bit of a mess with the front end badly bent and amazingly his back sprocket bent as well. Ht 4 saw an on the line win for Rhys over Adam, who learned a lesson about looking behind too much in a race, with the unbeaten Tom third. In the end it was a tie for 1st spot between Rhys Naylor and Tom Stokes on 10 with Adam Portwood on 8 and Conor Dwyer on 4. The important thing was the lads got track time, enjoyed it and picked up two bookings to appear at Redcar after two Saturday CL meetings. Ht 1 Stokes, Portwood, Naylor, Dwyer 2 Naylor Dwyer Newey F/x 3 Stokes, Portwood 4 Naylor, Portwood, Stokes, Dwyer 5 Naylor Dwyer 6 Stokes Portwood Well done lads !!! Commiserations to Joe on his bent bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commiserations to Joe on his bent bike. Typical, i wait all season for a second half then it doesn't start til 10 and my son has to be up for school. Watched first two heats then had to go, will they be back at 'the Green' Laurence?? Good to see you carrying on the work with junior/young riders you started at Cradley all thise years ago mate.

p'boro lad Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) I would like to say a BIG thank you to Laurance and all at Wolverhampton that made last night such a great night for us all, congrats to Rhys and Tom for their 1st places (one day I'll beat you though, still trying hard LOL), and hope that Joe gets his bike sorted again for the next time. Hope to race you all again soon. Adam P. P.S. Does anyone know the names of the photographers at Wolverhampton.

The photographer who took your picture (hopefully for use in the Speedway Star ?) was John Hipkiss. Also a big thank you to Pete Ballinger at Clean Cut Sports who stayed on to film the lads (no doubt they will be after a copy !!) and we will also use it as training aid to analyse their riding to help them develop. And to answer boss2 I would think that CVS would like to have the lads back at some stage in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time pop them all some Cradley bodycolours on and advertise it the week before there'll be a stadium full for the second half that week (i wish!!) In fact can i send you a pm in a couple of days? I have an idea. Don't suppose anyone knows John Wilson's (Ex-cradley/stoke) whereabouts??
