If you have the full 2nd half details from that 26/07/1985 v Glasgow match I'd very much like to have them. 7th June v Mildenhall (NL) was rained off. Restaged 14th June which only lasted until heat 4 before weather intervened. I'd like to know if the A.J.L. match was rearranged but again rained off. 5th July went ahead v Edinburgh. however the A.J.L. match may not have been staged because... ...BSF member Nodlew produced a sheet of 1985 AJL dates & results which, when using all currently available info, indicate that the second Peterborough v Mildenhall match took place after 25th September. Speedboy, without wishing to hijack the thread, I wonder if you could post what you have for Mildenhall (home & away) as far as dates & scores go. I'd like to grab this chance to try and advance Nodlew's worksheet.

Kings Lynn do not appear to have competed in the 1985 A.J.L. 29th May 1985 Long Eaton 13 v Peterborough 11 (followed senior match) 17th July 1985 Long Eaton 13 v Peterborough 11 (followed Long Eaton v Milton Keynes)

8th June 1980 Rye House 13 v Peterborough 02 (followed Rye H v King's Lynn) 15th July 1980 Milton Keynes 10 v Peterborough 08 (followed senior match) 7th August 1980 Oxford v Peterborough (possibly not staged as Oxford withdrew from the league round about then) 26th July 1980 Swindon 14 v Peterborough 04 (followed Swindon v Wolverhampton) 28th August 1980 Ipswich 15 v Peterborough 03 (followed Ipswich v Poole) 20th September 1980 Cradley Heath v Peterborough (followed Cradley v Birmingham) Meeting rained off 4th October 1980 Cradley Heath 11 v Peterborough 07 (followed Cradley v Halifax)

1986 National Junior League (Central) Boston 02 v Peterborough 20 These matches tended to follow the corresponding National League meeting, Peterborough visited Boston on 7th September.

Dates in BOLD require 100% confirmation but are the most likely candidates. 2nd June 1979 Nottingham 06 v Peterborough 11 (followed Nottingham v Mildenhall) 5th June 1979 Crayford 12 v Peterborough 06 (followed senior match) 30th June 1979 Kings Lynn 15 v Peterborough 03 (followed King's Lynn v Sheffield) 21st July 1979 Cradley Heath 11 v Peterborough 07 (followed Cradley Heath v Sheffield) 10th September 1979 Reading 11 v Peterborough 07 (followed Reading v Coventry) Reading: 1.

I have two programmes from 7th April 1989 Glasgow v Newcastle and both have this fellow listed in a second half heat. I certainly don't remember him as a Glasgow junior, perhaps in town with the Diamonds? I can't find any mention of him in the 1990 yearbook and the internet is coming up blank. Does anyone recall him?

Not really much help but the Ipswich programme for the 4th meeting of the 1981 series (7th May) lists Les Collins scoring 0 at Swindon in 1980. They only give the individual scores, no indication of number of rides taken unfortunately.

Just a couple that my modern day contact couldn't help with: 06/07 Edinburgh v Glasgow (Scottish Masters) 47-31 - WAS THIS MATCH OVER 13 HEATS OR WAS IT ABANDONED FOR SOME REASON? 02/10 Trelawny 4TT won by Kangaroos - NAMES OF TEAMS AND THE FINAL SCORES 28/10 Newcastle George English Memorial Trophy winner Pedersen - WHICH PEDERSEN?

Many thanks for your help

And so I stagger manfully towards the final season in my results gathering project. First of all I need to confirm Northern League results between Birmingham and Norwich as I have a race point kicking somewhere: 08/06 Birmingham 43 - 41 Norwich and 17/08 Birmingham 28 - 55 Norwich 15/06 Norwich 58 -26 Birmingham and 20/07 Norwich 52 - 31 Birmingham

Do you know Gray's forename?

This fixture wasn't covered in Speedway Star but by all accounts a programme was produced and the meeting went ahead. Can anyone tell me who the winner was?

I have been referencing the tables as published on the SGB website so I assume they have been taken from the same source. Thanks for clearing that up.

No worries. It's sorted and confirmed so that's what counts

Thanks for that. I've just spotted another strange 'un - 18th June Tamworth 49 - 35 Wombwell appears to have been staged over 14 heats whereas the rest are over 16. Any further info on that one?

As I noted in the original post - 29/10 (Cubs NOT Heathens!) v Hanley (staged at Tamworth)

According to available sources that match was Cradley v Hanley. Tamworth beat Hanley 60-35 on 1st October.
