Weymouth Wildcats Press Release

[jules m]

The Weymouth Doonan Wildcats suffered a total washout last weekend with both their home meetings against Plymouth , and the away trip to Mildenhall falling foul of the great British weather. After basking in virtual wall to wall sunshine for over a week, the heavens decided to open around an hour before the Wildcats were due to take to the track against local rivals the Plymouth Devils on Saturday night at the Wessex Bus Raceway. The following day saw a bright and breezy morning in Weymouth with the previous nights storm clouds now on their way towards Suffolk resulting in the postponement of the meeting against the Fen Tigers. The restaging date for the meeting against the Plymouth Devils will be Saturday 18th July with the meeting at Mildenhall yet to be arranged.

 

This Saturday sees the third round of the Great British Under 15s Championship at the Wessex Bus Race Way (7.15pm start) when the stars of the future take to track in what promises to be an entertaining meeting. Several of the riders have been getting in some pre-season practice over the winter months at the WessexBus Raceway training schools, with some showing great improvement under the guidance of some of the sports top names. One to watch could be eleven-year-old Robert Lambert. He hails from Norfolk and took the opportunity for a second-half spin a couple of weeks ago at the Wessex Bus Race Way . Robert was very impressive recording times not far off those from the previous National League meeting.

 

The 500cc Class is currently led by Josh Dingle who has recently been signed by the Plymouth Devils, and will surely be out to show that he deservers a place in the Devils 1-7. Also taking to the track is Local youngster Daniel I’Anson who is in his first full season of speedway, having spent the winter practicing at the Weymouth Training Schools. The 250cc's have the first round winner, Brandon Freemantle and the afore mentioned Robert Lambert who both look to have a great future in the sport..

 

Phil Bartlett, Wildcats Promoter said “This meeting looks set to be possibly one of the most competitive under 15s meetings we have seen at Weymouth. Young Robert Lambert took a spin here a couple of weeks ago after our League meeting and received a round of applause from the supporters who had stayed to watch the action, not something that happens too often when a rider is just having a couple of practice laps!” Wildcats team manager Jem Dicken ,commented that he had been watching the progress of Josh Dingle, who has looked very impressive recently, with next seasons team in mind. But Plymouth seem to have beat us to him. He was in fine form at the Moonfleet MCC Open Grass Track where he looked very impressive and I am sure he will be hoping to cement his place in the Devils team with a good performance here.”
