Yes, it was indeed a four-teamer. Union Jacks (Wilson, Collins, Jessup, Betts, Simmons) 34 Lions (Booey, McMillan, Hunter, Pusey, Chris Morton) 26 Australasians (Mauger, Cribb (who replaced Briggo), Boulger, Sanders, Valentine) 26 Scandinavians (Persson, Nilsson, Soren Karlsson, Stangeland (replaced Finn Thomsen), Ollie Nygren (replaced Rikhard Helsen) 10 Top scorers were: McMillan, Mauger (10), Collins, Simmons (9), Boocock, Wilson (8). All from four rides. The 'Second Half' was a Testimonial Trophy knockout, won by Collins, with Persson second and Cribb third (Wilson retired). What a wonderful Sunday afternoon that was, and it didn't matter that it took hours to get out of the car park afterwards!

It'll be too late by then...

Stop mincing your words Pete

Don't think too many saw that coming. Nice to get the lot!

Yes, on early evidence, Heeps was a shrewd move. But let's see how it pans out eh?

I wonder what the problem was with Garrity's machine? The lad was making much of the fact that he had much better kit now. Still, hopefully all problems will now be identified and sorted. A win's a win. Kick on from here.

Wouldn't be the Elite league otherwise....

Fairy nuff. I didn't, and i don't think Mid Red did either. I blame Poole....

Yes, I know that now, but their tweets didn't reflect that sequence. But then, it's the BSPA eh?

Hmmm. Yes, I noticed that. Thought I'd missed something.

Garrity! Yessssss.

Don't forget the Jets, Warren!

Bingo! That's what's causing the problem then. It's made of fruit.

Could have been so very different though? Nonetheless, congratulations to Cradley, and here's hoping a solution to their current problems can be found.

I know this is a very old thread, but I'm amazed if nobody has spotted this Pathe clip Gemini. (Perhaps they have and it's on another thread somewhere, but I'll add it here anyway, just in case ...) http://www.britishpathe.com/video/child-motorcyclist/query/speedway+3+year+old Apologies if it's come up before
