I can do this one for you when I'm next home of an evening so if you do not mind waiting a few days (due to me being at Lakeside tonight and Swindon tomorrow) I'll do just that. As I recall the score was 32v28.

Many thanks guys for all your help much appreciated.

 

One other thing, which I forgot to put in the original post, is details of the Long Eaton v Berwick match which was declared void (44-34). All I've got is due to fuel issues but anyone know more about it ?

 

Thanks again.

Heat 1 Perks Yeates DeKok Handley 67.2 3-3

Heat 2 Crockett Bowen Wigg Tulloch ef 68.4 1-5 4-8

Heat 3 Hack Corradine Pusey Ackroyd 68.8 3-3 7-11

 

Woodward and Harrison dnr.

 

That seems to be the lot Frenchy, apart from the Long Eaton that Stevie is checking. As Long Eaton were not racing in 1980, what year was it?

Still in 1980 can anyone help out with the following please ?

 

The yearbook for 1980 has a couple of errors.

 

For Stoke against Oxford on 7th Sept (League) the yearbook only lists the scores for 6 riders (Burton, Boyle, North, Sawyer, Stead & Lightfoot)

who have a combined score of 36. Does anyone know who the 7th rider was and the rides-points-bonus points they scored ?

 

For Reading against Cradley on 12th May (challenge) the yearbook again only lists the scores for 6 riders (Davis, Leigh, Andersson, Briggs, Stancl & Ashby) who have a combined score of 38. I think the missing rider is Bobby Schwartz but can anyone confirm that (or name the missing rider) and give his score ?
