The above results are incorrect. It looks like someone has taken the actual race results but tried to drop them into a Northern Youth League template, which is very different to the MDL race format. Hence they have got the correct race results but with totally the wrong riders! Correct results are:- CASTLEFORD KINGS 20 Danny Phillips 3 2 3 = 8 Tom Bacon 2' 1' 3 = 6+2 Adam Portwood F 2 0 = 2 Ben Hewitt 1 1' 2' = 4+2 BELLE VUE COLTS 16 Tom Woolley 1 3 1' = 5+1 Scooter Webster 0 0 1 = 1 Shaun Tedham 3 3 2 = 8 Sam Darroch 2' 0 R = 2+1 Ht 1 - Phillips, Bacon, Woolley, Webster (5-1) (5-1) 61.56 Ht 2 - Tedham, Darroch, Hewitt, Portwood (f) (1-5) (6-6) 63.16 Ht 3 - Tedham, Phillips, Bacon, Darroch (3-3) (9-9) 60.75 Ht 4 - Woolley, Portwood, Hewitt, Webster (3-3) (12-12) 62.35 Ht 5 - Bacon, Hewitt, Webster, Darroch ® (5-1) (17-13) 63.44 Ht 6 - Phillips, Tedham, Woolley, Portwood (3-3) (20-16) 60.50

BELLE Vue team boss Chris Morton will run the rule over some of speedway's brightest young talents at Kirkmanshulme Lane next week. Elite League racing takes a week off for the World Cup, in which Autogate Aces captain Hans Andersen leads the highly-fancied Denmark team. The Aces fill the void with the ATPi Belle Vue Junior championship next Wednesday, July 28, and the throttle happy kids have been making the phone lines red hot trying to get an invitation. Morton said: “We couldn't fit the meeting in last season but feel it is important to give up and coming riders a significant event to ride in. “We have worked very hard on attracting a good line-up and we have seen in the past that it is a meeting they very much want to win. “There are some very good riders at this level and we want to encourage them. We have made a point of running the meeting this year and we have got the support of some very good sponsors. “Supporters who have stayed at home in the past have missed some really entertaining racing so we hope they come along this time. “It's important to have these kind of meetings and I'll be keeping a good eye on the talent taking part. This will sort out the young men from the boys.” It is a meeting close to Morton's heart as he was a local boy who came through for stardom. The local challenge next Wednesday comes from Jason Garrity (Droylsden), Jack Hirst (Middleton), and Steve Worrall (St Helens). Garrity, who is racing for Buxton, is a former British U-15 champion and knows the Belle Vue circuit well. Worrall has made huge progress after taking up the sport a year ago when he switched from moto-cross. His twin brother, Richie, has also taken up speedway now and is likely to be a meeting reserve. The line-up also includes Scott Richardson, the Yorkshire-based son of former Ace Derek, while there is a strong international contingent of four Australians plus American whiz-kid Gino Manzares who turns 17 next month. Manzares rode in a recent second half event at Belle Vue and raised eyebrows by clocking a fast time of 61.4 seconds, only a second or so slower than the seniors.. He came to Britain at Easter with the touring American Dream Team and decided to stay on to get as much experience of British tracks as possible. He has to go home in mid-August when his six- month visa expires, but he wants to come back to the UK as soon as possible. The line-up, not in riding order, is: Jake Anderson (age 20, Australia, PL team Somerset, NL Dudley), Rob Branford (16, Australia, NL Buxton), Micky Dyer (19, Australia, NL Dudley), Richard Franklin (17, NL Dudley), Jason Garrity (16, NL Buxton), Jack Hirst (16, unattached), Gary Irving (21, NL Scunthorpe), Adam Lowe (21, NL King's Lynn), John MacPhail (22, Scotland, unattached), Gino Manzares (16, America, unattached), Ashley Morris (16, Dudley), Nick Morris (16, Australia, PL Glasgow, NL Buxton), Scott Richardson (21, NL Scunthorpe), James Sarjeant (16, unattached), Chris Widman (20 - NL King's Lynn), Steve Worrall (18, NL Scunthorpe). The organisers are extremely grateful to Ian Sinderson, of ATPi, for agreeing to become the meeting main sponsor. Thanks also to Greggs the Bakers, who have paid for a complete new set of race jackets for the meeting and sponsored a heat. Other heat sponsors are E Park and Sons, Weston Motorcycles, Speedway Star, and Warburtons. Two anonymous supporters have backed races, as has Jason Done from BBC1 TV show Waterloo Road. Admission has been reduced to £5 for concessions and £10 for adults. Children will be admitted free of charge. Members of the Junior Vue Supporters' Club have the chance to enter a free competition by contacting Karen Pollard, the Junior Vue Co-ordinator. Of the children who enter, 16 will be drawn out at random and allocated to each of the competing riders. They will walk out onto the track with their rider for the pre-meeting parade. At the end, the youngsters allocated to the top three finishers will be able to join their rider on the rostrum and will be presented with a trophy.

Completely dry at present and very warm. After a sunny morning it has now clouded over but is still very warm. Some scattered showers are forecast for late afternoon early evening, but hopefully nothing to threaten the meeting.

The Channel M television station will be trialling a helmet cam at this meeting which Ben Hopwood has agreed to wear for them.

Greg Blair has been ruled out after crashing at Newcastle on Sunday. Benji Compton is on stand-by to take his place.

All supporters aged under 16 attending this meeting will have a chance to enter a draw at the turnstiles for the chance to adopt a rider for the night and win a trophy. The names of 16 young supporters who enter the draw will be picked out before heat 1 and each will be allocated to one rider. Those drawn against the 3 rostrum finishers will be invited onto the centre green at the end for the presentations and will receive a trophy on the rostrum. Also all kids under 12 will be admitted to the meeting Free of Charge (bring as many as you want!). All other admission prices are halved. Adults - £8; Concessions - £5; Children over 12 - £3 A full 20 heats for £8 make it one of the best value for money meetings in the country. In the past, this meeting has been considered to provide some of the best racing of the season. We hope to have put together a very even and competitive field again. The winner will also receive the first ever Allan Morrey Memorial Trophy in honour of the former clerk of the course who died in December after 61 years working at Belle Vue. Tarnow's Dane Peter Juul Larsen will be in competitive action for the first time in the UK.
