speedyguy Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Niall is indeed Lee's cousin. I understand that though spelt 'Niall' it's pronounced 'Neal': at least this is what I was once told! Niall appeared in Wimbledon second halves from as early as 2004 - as speedyguy says. Niall was even track reserve (got a couple of outings..) in the 2005 Conference Pairs.. A meeting about which I REALLY should learn not to even mention slightly in a posting on this Forum!!! Actually Niall did once ride for a winning 'team' at Wimbledon in the only 4TT staged there '02 to '05 in Sept. '05: Scott’s Speedsters 28 (Scott James 10; Grant MacDonald 10; James Clement 7; Rob Smith 1; Niall Strudwick 0); I knew you would come up trumps on something to Niall Strudwick is, I am certain, a cousin of Lee Strudwick, the former Wimbledon and Rye House (NL) rider, Niall used to practice at Plough Lane after the meeting in 2004 and 2005 when about 14 years of age, If I am wrong I am sure my old pal P1928nearly will soon correct me. Niall has in the past couple of years posted some good stuff on the Defunct Speedways website - a lot of it devoted to Crystal Palace. Niall is indeed Lee's cousin.

speedyguy Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The Lakeside Hammers return to action at the Arena Essex Raceway this Friday evening, 4th May, in style with a mouth-watering clash with the Poole Pirates. The Elite League action is due to get underway on Friday at 8pm, but prior to that, at 6.45pm, the Young Hammers are scheduled to meet the Mildenhall Tiger Cubs in an Anglian Junior League match.

Mimmo Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes please speedball that would be good.I only have heats 1-4 and a couple of timescheers Phil, Heat 1: Bates, Mountain, Williams (15 metres), Graver 65.10 3-3 Heat 2: Laurence, Strudwick, Rose, Govier. 67.50 4-2 (7-5) Heat 3: Laurence, Mountain, Graver, Strudwick 5-1 (12-6) Heat 4: Govier, Rose, Williams, Bates (NS) 3-3 (15-9) Heat 5: Mountain, Graver, Williams, Strudwick 4-2 (19-11) Heat 6: Laurence, Rose (Fell), Govier (Fell), Bates (NS) 3-0 (22-11) Unfortunately the tannoy in the main stand was abysmal to say the least, and trying to hear Edwin Overland was almost impossible, and couldn't hear the race winning times for Heats 3-6 inclusive. It would have helped a bit if someone turned the music off whilst he's talking. I believe our next home fixture is against Lakeside on the 30th May following the Young Stars v Isle of Wight fixture, so hopefully we'll see another evening where the majority of the public remain to see the AJL match. Do you by any chance know whether it was a league or challenge match last night? Cheers mate, and have a good one on Sunday. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilK Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hi Mike As far as I know last night was a league match. The times I got for Heats 1 - 4 were as follows 1 - 65.10 2 - 67.50 3 - 66.50 4 - 68.47 Hopefully Speedball can confirm if I heard correctly, agree with what you say about the tannoy! Re the IoW fixture on the 30th May, is that still on, on the Kings Lynn website they are at home to Lakeside that evening in the EL? We were coming to the IoW match so good to know if it is on or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Agree with the heat times previously given. I got 65.34 for Heat 5 and I thought that Heat 6 was awarded due to Strudwick's crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a date for the meeting against the IOW yet. All the Best Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Are the IoW now members of the Anglian Junior League? No, the reference is to the KL AJL team hosting the Lakeside Junior Hammers on the 30 May. This WAS going to be after a KL vs. IoW NL fixture but now the main fixture that evening appears to have changed from that IoW NL match to an EL match between the Stars & the (senior) Hammers..
