Gresham Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Most excellent...really looking forward to watching this after the main meeting. Just wish my beloved Bulldogs were still putting a team out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTDragons Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I thought that with plans for the Dragons to re-form, which if successful, would mean that they are in the National League, the best place for the thread for other supporters to see it and promote this would be in the NL section. Apologies if this in incorrect and please feel free to move the thread if to the most appropriate section if this is the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 This is in the wrong section. It's not NL.Should be in General speedway or youth and development section General section is for non speedway stuff. Does anyone read the development section?

PTDragons Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Exeter 24 Carmarthen 12 Henry Atkins 3 3 3 = 9 Craig Nethercott X 2 1 = 3+1 Stevie Anderson 3 1 2 = 6+1 Saul Bulley 2 2 2 = 6+1 Russell Barnett 2 3 1 = 6 Connor Fletcher 1 0 3 0 = 4 Lawrence Fielding 1 1 = 2 Danny Wright Fx 0 0 = 0 It was great to see the Welsh Dragon jacket at the tapes again for the first time in many years last night in what was always going to be a tough fixture. A gallant defeat for the Dragons against a side who showed that they had a lot more laps under their belt on the Somerset track, especially the talented Henry Atkins. Our boys were far from disgraced and Russell Barnett led the way with the first heat win of the new Carmarthen era in heat 4, quickly followed up by a win for Connor Fletcher in heat 5. Well done and thank you to all four boys who rode last night and to the management team of Lawrence, Garry and Lesley, let's hope that this is the start of the return for the Dragons. Anyone interested in helping the team in any way, please feel me to message me and I will pass it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTDragons Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 The Carmarthen Dragons completed their second fixture of 2016 on Saturday. Continuing the club's ethos of continuity with their riders, the same four that rode against Exeter took to the track again at Stoke. The final score was Stoke 26 Carmarthen 10. Riders scores were: Carmarthen Russell Barnett 4 Lawrence Fielding 0 Connor Fletcher 3 Danny Wright 3 (including a first heat win for the Dragons for Danny). Stoke Sam Wright 9 Ollie Rutter 5 Mitch Beckett 6 Will O Keefe 6 So the Dragons now move on to Kings Lynn on July 14 as they continue their 2016 "tour" of the UK. Discussions are underway for fixtures for the 2017 season as are plans to look for a permanent home (see the thread on the return of the Carmarthen Dragons for an updated press release for news of this).

Guest Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Most excellent...really looking forward to watching this after the main meeting. Just wish my beloved Bulldogs were still putting a team out as well. Quite easily done. Just find four or five riders, name them as Bristol, then seek second-half matches in the locality of interest. If there was still a track in 'real' London i would be tempted to revive Lea Bridge! http://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/Lea%20Bridge.htm Edited July 7, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Not quite that simple but not too far off as i suspect there is a selection of paperwork etc to get through first but ultimately thats how it works. The riders will find you as the reduced MDL this year is leaving many searching for extra track time. Lawrence, Garry and co have done a great job reviving Carmarthen, the Milton Keynes name has been running on for several seasons now, Exeter & Weymouth are in action at Somerset & i believe Hull + others run from Scunthorpe? Would be great to have a defunct team tournament? Same day knockout cup for example to give all those missing their former teams something to cheer about.

I think you're racing at Newcastle in August, and Mildenhall in September aren't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I think you're racing at Newcastle in August, and Mildenhall in September aren't you? They certainly are. It's a NJL format (2 X 500 + 2 X 125) and it's at Brough on Sunday 14th August, after our home meeting against Sheffield in the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
