On the Birmingham website (on my signature) Monarchs female racer Natalie Timms has a Q and A as she tells us her ultimate girls 1-7 side, what she would like to see in the future for women's racing and also advice for any girls looking to have a go at the shale sport.

 

Coming up in the next few weeks will be Q and A with Sandwell specialist Scott Millward as he looks to return from injury, Nicky Evans on life with Birmingham and Newport this season and Richard Stevenson on how his maiden year in the sport went.

A great weekend in prospect in Round 3 of the Elite League with two key matches in terms of the title chase. Many people's pre season favourites Wednesfield know that they will have to be firing on all cylinders to get the better of visitors Sheffield who are high on confidence after lowering the colours of defending champions Horspath in Round 2. By comparison, the Midlanders were outclassed by the Hammers on the opening day of the season.

 

The match at Ashmore Park is too close to call and the same could apply to the other clash of the titans at Oxford where Horspath know that they cannot afford any slips against Poole after dropping points to Sheffield. The Hammers are sure to find extra motivation after losing home and away to the Dorset club in 2012 while the Comets will know that the match will hold absolutely no fears for them based on these recent encounters!

 

The outcome of the third match between Ipswich and Birmingham will go a long way in determining basement positions between these two clubs, neither of whom has yet to record a win. Much has been written of the emerging force which is the Suffolk club and this is their chance to underline that potential while their opponants are still attempting to rebuild their side after the transfer of Paul Heard, arguably Britain's top rider on current form, to Wednesfield Aces.

 

Full match previews can be found on the Spokesman online website and live updates on Sunday afternoon can be found on Twitter @eliteleaguecs from 2pm.

Sheffield kept their 100% record in Round 3 of the Elite after a remarkable comeback at the Graves against Wednesfield Aces who were leading by 6 points until a controversial series of events in the closing heats which saw Ben Mould red carded. For the second season running, Poole pulled off a slender victory at Horspath with European champ Marcin Szymanski going through the card. Full match reports on Spokesman online and British Cycling websites.

 

Horspath 88 Poole 89

Ipswich 112 Birmingham 67

Sheffield 90 Wednesfield 84

 

Next matches - June 9th.

It's a shame to see so little now happening on the cycle speedway section. A last message posted nearly two months ago. It was very active initially when it started some two years ago. In London there is now only one track - much different to the 'bomb site' track days of the late 1940s and early 1950s.

 

The Spokesman is is an excellent forum in regard to what is happening in the sport - possibly near you. Call the site up, then take your pick of what you want to read as detailed in the Home Page box on the left.

This weekend sees Saturday as racing day at Perry Park as the Monarchs host Round 7 of Eurovets with Monarchs Paul Timms and Stephen Hodgkinson in action. Afterwards Birmingham host Newcastle in a Challenge fixture which will give the Perry Barr side a chance to field some of the young talent and give them some full meeting experience. Tapes go up at 1pm, food, drink and programmes will be on sale and it is free to watch.
