BL65 656 Posted July 16, 2019 24/03 Southampton Possibles v Probables 61.5-43.5 Abandoned heat 18 - CONFIRM DATE, RESULT & REASON FOR ABANDONMENT 24th March. This was a 20 heat match between teams of 12 a side, abandoned after heat 18 due to heavy rain. 29/03 Swindon v kaparna - Snowed Off - CONFIRM DATE 29th March. Reported in Speedway News as postponed due to snow and appalling conditions. 06/05 Southampton v Cardiff (Southern League) - Rained Off - CONFIRM DATE 6th July, postponed 30 minutes before the scheduled start due to rain. 25/05 Rye House Scratch Races - CONFIRM DATE & OUTRIGHT WINNER(S) IF ANY 25th May. Rye House Scratch Race comprising 4 heats, 2 semi-finals, then a final won by Stan Clark. Match Races, Den Cross beat Jimmy Grant. Rye House Handicap, final won by Jim Tebby. 17/06 Wolverhampton Midland Riders Championship QR - 4-way tie Eric Boothroyd, Arthur Payne, Cyril Quick, Jimmy Grant - ANY OUTRIGHT WINNER? The programme provided for a run-off in the event of a tie for first place, but none of the 3 copies I have seen have a result entered. Subsequent Wolverhampton programmes named the winner of the World Championship Round in the list of results, but left the MRCQR space blank, suggesting it was a 4-way tie and with insufficient space to include all of their names. 17/07 Ipswich v Aldershot (Southern League) - Postponed - CONFIRM DATE & REASON FOR POSTPONEMENT 17th July, reported in Speedway Gazette as being rained off. 30/07 Fleetwood Highbury Trophy - Tie between Norman Hargreaves & Jeff Crawford - ANY OUTRIGHT WINNER? No, this was the second of two meetings (the first staged on 9th July) to determine qualifiers for the final on 13th August. 29/08 Bristol World Championship QR - Tie between Dick Bradley & Brian Crutcher - ANY OUTRIGHT WINNER? Dick Bradley beat Brian Crutcher in a run-off, when Crutcher fell. 09/09 Southampton v Exeter (Southern League) - Rained Off - CONFIRM DATE 9th July, reported in Speedway Gazette as rained off. 10/09 Fleetwood Best Pairs - Rained Off - CONFIRM DATE The Best Pairs meeting scheduled for 10th September was cancelled and the track closed down, due to poor support, as reported in Speedway World.

However, on that day the riders from London were unable to fulfill the fixture and so a hastily arranged challenge was set up between teams led by Don Perry and Des Monson, for the 'Irish Speedway Championship Cup'. There was also to be a competition for the Dublin Belt, to be contested by Danny O'Neill, Ginger O'Beirne, Mick Savage, Tom Kiernan and others. The meeting was then rained off!

The Dublin Belt was to be the main individual event, contested by 10 riders, Ginger O'Beirne, Alan Marr, Mick Savage, Tom Kiernan, Tom King, Tom Cullen, Derek Edwards, Roy Spiller, Paddy O'Lone and Danny O'Neill.
