Heathen1984 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Tuesday August 02, 2011 DUDLEY Heathens will parade their National League Fours Championship trophy in front of their own fans at Monmore Green tonight (Tuesday). The former Cradley club face fellow play-off chasers Mildenhall in a vital National League clash which both sides need to gain something from. And before the meeting the club will show off the silverware they won at Stoke on Saturday after a stunning display. Boss Will Pottinger said: “It was a very special night on Saturday and our fans deserve the chance to see the trophy. “But we also have a big meeting on our hands and we cannot afford to lose sight of that. Mildenhall are a good side now they have strength at reserve in Cameron Heeps who has been scoring well everywhere.” Adam Roynon makes his league return after three months out with a thigh injury and Richard Franklin moves to reserve with Darryl Ritchings promoted to the main body of the team. And everyone who buys a programme will also be handed a free team print of the Heathens celebrating their Fours glory. HEATHENS: Jon Armstrong, Darry Ritchings, Tom Perry, Ashley Morris, Adam Roynon, Richard Franklin, Adam Portwood. MILDENHALL: Jack Hargreaves, Mark Baseby, Daniel Halsey, Joe Jacobs, Lewis Blackbird, Aaron Baseby, Cameron Heeps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be said, Cameron Heeps sounds absolutely mustard! 15 years old? He seems one hell of a prospect. Seems an exciting rider too and an out and out racer. Taking Roynon from the back on a track he's never seen or ridden before is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbymilkfloat Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 well done mildenhall best team on night by far,but cant help thinking they are a wee bit dirty,examples heat 9 when morris was blatantly taken out by blackbird and heat 11 when hargreaves seemed to shut off the power in front of roynon in heat 11,and going back 1 week to the hammer meeting hargreaves was excluded for unfair riding in one heat and in his next race tried to put ritchings on the dog track,but hey i guess thats speedway,well done once again mildenhall.

PhilK Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Great night for the Fen Tigers Shame about the disgusting cheering from the Dudley fans when Blackbird fell and for Jacobs spill after heat 14 - could hear alot of cheers clearly on the radio Not a good advert for Dudley i'm afraid Just back from a fantastic away trip! Have to say Rick I didn't hear anything untoward, and to be fair Lewis Blackbird had somewhat assumed the role of 'pantomime villian'after his antics in heat 11. There was nothing malicious to be honest just good natured banter. The three of us stood amongst a group of Dudley supporters throughout the evening and they were to a man, friendly, knowledgeable, humourous and very gracious in defeat They were a credit to their club and hopefully we can both reach the play offs and meet again Cameron Heeps was very special tonight, its hard to believe he is just 15 years old, his bike control, speed, and passing ability are a joy to watch. He was beaten just the once in seven rides, by Tom Perry in a brilliant race in heat 12 that was as good s you will see anywhere, a very courageous ride by Perry to keep ahead of the ever pressing Heeps. Captain Hargreaves had his best meeting for Mildenhall and decent support was received from Baseby, Jacobs and Blackbird. For Dudley Perry was very impressive, and Franklin never gave up all night. It was good to hear that Ashley Morris was up and walking about in hospital before we left. All in all a night to remember in the Midlands for a decent contingent of Mildenhall supporters!

CrystalCastles Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Must be the performance of the NL season from Heeps. Personally I think he's showed how good he is tonight & shown he is ready for PL next year. So glad people who support NL teams have had or will have the chance to see him.

CrystalCastles Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) the kid is class and after what he did to us tonight i dont wanna see im again any time soon . IMO this was one of the toughest away tests he'd face, he's banged in some good scores this year.But sometimes riding at reserve if managed effectively a reserves performance doesnt always effect a riders true ability. However tonight IMO Lot of experience & quality amongst brit youngsters in the Dudley side & a track most people take some adjusting too. IMO therefore clearly tonight he has emphatically demonstrated he is quality rider. Edited August 3, 2011 by shirlmeister general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalSin Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 And hopefully Ipswich bound next year before he joins Poole in 2013 Awesome stuff for Mildy well done lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 And hopefully Ipswich bound next year before he joins Poole in 2013 Hopefully somebody else will get him rather than Poole hoovering up all the good young talent! Can see him having a similar impact next year to that of Darcy in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourentee Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks for that Kev. It has to be said, Cameron Heeps sounds absolutely mustard! 15 years old? He seems one hell of a prospect. Seems an exciting rider too and an out and out racer. Taking Roynon from the back on a track he's never seen or ridden before is impressive. Hugely impressive from Heeps but on a tiny point of order he has ridden the circuit before, having done a few post-match laps last season. Very different from competitive team racing, of course. Tipped by Ty Proctor last year as one to watch. A very good performance by Mildenhall last night, well done to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see him having a similar impact next year to that of Darcy in 2009. I'm hoping by the time the lad is ready for the Elite league Bagpuss, that we show some ambition and move up with him. It's believed the lad either is, or will become a club "asset". The idea was that we were dropping down a league to rebuild. That includes our finances, and asset base before moving back up. It's no good moving back up if the club is going to be half hearted about it and signing the journeyman Poles that we've been used to over the years that would be financial suicide as the fans wouldn't support it enough to make it viable. They WOULD however support a competitive Elite league team with exciting talents such as Cameron Heeps wearing the Witch. This is what bugs me about being in the Premier league. Any rider with talent will ultimately outgrow the league and you'll lose them pretty quickly. Lasse Bjerre has become a big Foxhall favourite, but the fans know they'll see him 6 more times before he move up full time next year. Whoever is lucky enough to sign Heeps next year, will just be preparing the lad for Poole or Peterborough in 2013 if he progresses as expected. Ok the club will receive a nice fat cheque that will help the running of the club just like Lynn with Darcy Ward, but as I said, I hope finances allow that the club move up with him and any other talented youngsters we may sign in the near future that gives us an exciting competitive Elite league side. Sorry for going off topic here by the way. I'm sure we'll be talking a lot more about Cameron Heeps in the future on appropriate threads.
