norbold 7,174 Posted November 29, 2007 (edited) I realise this could be a long shot, but does anyone have details of the two National League matches between New Cross and Southampton on 18 and 19 April 1961? I am after the New Cross riders' no. of rides, points and bonus points. Thank you. P.S. The details would be in the 29 April Speedway Star and News, which, for some reason, is the only one I don't have from the 1961 season!

peatbog 22 Posted November 29, 2007 I only know the total points scores which I expect you already have: Rangers 31 Saints 45 Saints 56 Rangers 22 Details are from 'British Speedway Leagues 1946 - 1964' by Peter Morrish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
star ghost 7 Posted November 29, 2007 At a guess those results would have been League Matches from later in the season as Peters book only included League Matches. I think April 1961 would have been Britannia Cup Section matches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,174 Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks peatbog but I do know the results, it's the individual scores I'm after. And yes, they were the League matches. There was no Britannia Shield in 1961. I'm very much looking forward to your next communication, frigbo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
