25/09 Sheffield - The report in Speedway World stated ' Dent Oliver ran out a brilliant winner, with team mate Wally Lloyd second'.  Oliver 14, Lloyd 13, Jay and Langton 11.  Speedway News reported the same outcome.  The scorechart shown for W Lloyd on the Researcher website is incorrect, the heat results show he recorded 3, 2, 3, 2, 3 not 3, 2, 3, 3, 3.

14/10 Southampton  Date and winner confirmed (Speedway World), Green 15, Bob Oakley 14, Bert Cr. 13

07/09 Hertfordshire Championship ((IND) - DATE & WINNER

15/06 Date and result confirmed (Speedway World)

29/06 Date confirmed, Rye House won but the score is unknown; the return at Chalfonts (grass speedway) took place on 6th July, when Chalfonts avenged the defeat at Rye House, winning 47-35

13/07 Senior Challenge winner Arthur Flack; Junior Challenge winner Eric Dunn; Match Races - Flack beat Broncho Wilson 2-1 (Speedway World)

22/07 Presumably this should be Sunday 27th July, with Speedway World reporting that there would be a meeting on that date, although not specifying the nature of it; 22nd was unlikely for Rye House as it was Tuesday

07/09 Date confirmed; winner Wally Green, beating Nobby Stock, Jimmy Coy and Jock Grierson in the final

Yes indeed the 27th, apologies for that.

15/06 confirmed - Filled in programme

20/04 - Date confirmed - Partly filled in programme which is hard to decipher. Also some of the heat results are not filled in at all and the score chart at the end is not filled in, so I can't work out who won, though looking at the heats that are filled in, it looks likely that the winning pair was either P. Robinson and M Flack or G Bason and E Irons.

It's interesting to see George Bason involved in many 1946-1947 era Rye House meetings. He had a long career in speedway - starting at Oxford in 1938-39.

His speedway career lasted until the late 1960s-early 1970s when he was a member of the Victor Boston speedway group in Northern France.

Among British tracks Bason rode for post-war were West Ham, Wembley, Wimbledon, Southampton, Liverpool, Swindon and California-in-England.

If I'm correct, the Midlands v South Cup qualifying rounds were split into two groups. The Southern group (Eastbourne, Exeter, Plymouth & Southampton) seems to be in order. The Midlands group (Cradley Heath, Hanley, Tamworth & Wombwell) however seems to be missing a fixture, namely Cradley v Wombwell.

The dates I have for Heathens Cubs(!) are:

04/07 at Wombwell

04/08 v Tamworth

04/08 at Tamworth

28/08 at Hanley

29/10 v Hanley (staged at Tamworth)

The final was staged 05/11 so I'm surmising that following the 29/10 fixture the Wombwell match became a dead rubber and wasn't run. But was there any attempt to run it beforehand as I have no entry for a postponed fixture?

29/10 Tamworth 64 Hanley 32 (MvSC) - 1948 Stenner's.

According to available sources that match was Cradley v Hanley.

Tamworth beat Hanley 60-35 on 1st October.

The Cradley Hearth v Wombwell match in the Midlands v South Cup never appeared in the fixture list and as late as 13th September it was noted in the Cradley Heath programme as 'still to be arranged'.  Cradley Heath ran out of dates, with the first home fixture not having been staged until 21st June and the last two 'home' meetings being held at Birmingham and Hanley.

Maybe the match on 29 October was Cradley v. Hanley but run at Tamworth? What else could it be? I presume there must have been a match on that date for Stenner's to have a score?

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