Davey Watt Testimonial

[MMX Events 101]

Poole Pirates skipper, Davey Watt is taking centre stage tomorrow night, as he reveals plans for his testimonial meeting which takes place on 31st August at Poole Speedway. He will be speaking exclusively during a launch event on Wednesday night (9th March) at Poole Stadium’s “Champs Bar” in Wimborne Road.

 

The returning Pirates captain will be telling fans what he has in store and is expected to announce some of the riders who have already agreed to take part, as well as what format the meeting will take, as he celebrates his ten years in British Speedway.

 

“I am determined to give the fans a really special occasion,” says the popular Aussie; “I am well aware that I have had ten great years in the sport and the fans have helped to keep me where I am now. So I am thinking that the day is for them, as much as it is about me”

 

“I already have a few ideas about making it a memorable night and, with so many of my mates pitching in to help me out, I know it’s going to be awesome. There is still a lot to be done but we have already made a good start and I can’t wait to let people in on some of my plans.”

 

Watt will be appearing on Wednesday at a special evening arranged by the Poole Riders Equipment Fund committee to launch his testimonial, as well as Mark Loram’s farewell meeting later this month. The evening begins at 7.30pm and is open to members and non-members of the R.E.F. It is also planned to show the 2010 Award presentation first aired at the end of season dinner in November and which proved such a hit.

WATT A LINE UP FOR BIG NIGHT

 

DAVEY WATT has confirmed the testimonial line up for his special Roos v Rest of the World test at Poole Speedway on Wednesday 31st August in celebration of the Aussies ten years in British Speedway.

 

Having already announced that track stars Jason Crump and Emil Sayfutdinov will lead the respective sides, the Poole skipper then added his popular Pirates predecessor Bjarne Pedersen, quickly followed by the news that Wimborne Road track record holder Antonio Lindback would also be in the line-up, both of whom were qualifiers at the weekend for next season's Grand Prix.

 

Now the field has been completed we can reveal that the Aussie team will include Pirates stars Chris Holder and Darcy Ward as well as bang in form Jason Doyle in a not too unexpected side.

 

Meanwhile, the Rest of the World have been boosted by the inclusion of Scott Nicholls and another former Pirate favourite from the 2008 Elite League winning team, Adam Skornicki.

 

Davey will join his Roos team mates of course and is thrilled with the final squads saying that he is really looking forward to a great night out surrounded by friends and fans who have meant so much to him during his ten year UK career.

 

ROOS Davey Watt, Jason Crump, Chris Holder, Darcy Ward, Jason Doyle, Cameron Woodward, Sam Masters
