Main Man Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) MERCIA VIKINGS v Halifax “HARGREAVES FOUNDRY” DUKES When did a Halifax side last ride at Coventry ?? 1985 so it seems !! Well on Friday night (June 15th) after the Elite League clash between Coventry Bees and Kings Lynn Stars the Dukes are at Brandon to race against Coventry-Mercia Vikings in a Midland Development League clash . The NCA Vikings are without regular No. 1 Dan Greenwood as he has a busy National League diary this weekend for Dudley so locally based former Bees mascot Conor Dwyer comes in to cover for him. New signing Tyler Govier is unavailable as he takes part in the British Under 16 Championship at Northside near Workington this weekend and we wish our young Devonian capture the best up there and hopefully he will make his debut away next Friday at Scunthorpe. Cornish based Martin Knuckey captains the side tonight with fellow teenagers Adam Portwood and Cam Hoskins in the Vikings young side with an average age of just over 17!! Teams : NCA Vikings : 1. Conor Dwyer. 2. Cam Hoskins. 3. Martin Knuckey © 4. Adam Portwood. Team Managers : Kelvin Lapworth and Laurence Rogers Halifax “HARGREAVES FOUNDRY” Dukes : 1. Adam Keynon. 2. Connor Coles. 3. Michael Mitchell . 4. TBC Team Manager : Wayne Carter Edited June 11, 2012 by Main Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVENTRY 43: Tommy Knudsen 11 Kelvin Tatum 9 John Jorgensen 8 Steve Bastable 6 Frank Andersen 4 Rick Miller 3 David Bargh 2 HALIFAX 35: Kenny Carter 14 Neil Evitts 6 Eric Monaghan 5 Rod Hunter 4 Kurt Hansen 3 Larry Ross 2 Doug Wyer 1 The worrying thing is that whilst a lot of the good people on this forum won't have heard of some of those riders, the stark reality is that you and I knew them all...oh dear!! The very final meeting I believe between the two clubs at Brandon was the British Junior League match that followed the main event, with the home side running out comfortable 30-12 winners. Hope the weather doesn't spoil things on Friday, not that I'll be there, as I'm sunnng myself in Majorca, well will be by tonight. The forecasters got things horribly wrong in Norfolk yesterday, where I'm told the rain had all cleared away by 2.30pm. In my home village 13-miles away, we saw nothing after 10.00am, and I was able to mow my lawns prior to jetting off today. Not that this is the place to go into personal matters, but just to let you know that my wife received news on Thursday that all remains stable, and you know what I'm talking about.
