Kyle Howarth Testimonial - Thursday 14th March 2024

[4BM 156]

Well deserved testimonial for Kyle, one of those riders who gives 100 % and always has time for a chat with the fans.  So we know the meeting will be one of the first ones of 2024 and will be Sheffield Tigers 2024 v World Select.  Great that Kyle has lined up the 2024 Sheffield team and good that they get some bike/track time ahead of the new season.  It’s a shame there’s two league meetings that’s clash with this and that obviously narrows down options for riders based with UK clubs,  hopefully we get to see some riders that know the fast way around Owlerton (and maybe some new or old riders to the UK) and make it a good meeting

Very good lineup from the world select. Looking forward to it I’m sure the crowd will be huge

Got to feel for Kyle, when he was given this date by the BSPL there were no other meeting scheduled, now there’s 2 meetings and a meet the riders night at Ipswich taking out vast majority of Premiership riders, defo been screwed over by the speedway hierarchy, a lot of last minute changes for him and his testimonial team to sort out can’t imagine the stress that will have caused, hopefully enough punters turn up to make the night a success and doesn’t leave him with hole in his pocket having filled out money to get this meeting on

Fingers crossed that the weather doesn’t play a part tomorrow and that he gets a deservedly large crowd

SHEFFIELD skipper Kyle Howarth has confirmed the line-ups for his testimonial which takes place at Owlerton next Wednesday (June 12, 7.30pm).

A Tigers side will take on a Rest of the World Select over a traditional 15 heat format.

Regular Sheffield riders Josh Pickering, Jason Edwards and Dan Gilkes will line-up alongside Howarth.

The Rest of the World side features former German National Champion Norick Blodorn as well as Leicester’s Ryan Douglas and Sam Masters.

SHEFFIELD: Chris Harris, Kyle Howarth, Rory Schlein, Jye Etheridge, Josh Pickering, Jason Edwards, Dan Gilkes.
REST OF THE WORLD SELECT: Ryan Douglas, Norick Blodorn, Danny King, Charles Wright, Sam Masters, Jake Allen, Simon Lambert.

You’d think that there will need to be a couple of changes to the announced line ups, two on the Sheffield side and one the Rest of the World select based on riders injuries at the moment, Schlein out for season, Etheridge missed Friday at Scunthorpe and King missed British Final and also Monday (10th) for  Ipswich.  Hopefully Kyle and the team behind the testimonial manage to source the riders needed to fill the gaps 

Sheffield : Chris Harris, Kyle Howarth, Rory Schlein, Jye Etheridge, Josh Pickering, Jason Edwards, Dan Gilkes

Rest of the World Select: Ryan Douglas, Norick Blodorn, Danny King, Charles Wright, Sam Masters, Jake Allen, Simon Lambert

Would have preferred to see an individual rather than a contrived team event where nobody really cares who wins
