Ipswich Witches 2026

Largely agree with Baldyman here - it’s not often I am surprised by some speedway news but this really is a big one! Didn’t see that coming at all.

shows the sorry state the sport is in in the country when eddie kennett is returning at the top level.

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Even so, Kennett is hactually two weeks younger than Danny King.

Can't imagine he will appear to be any worse than Hellström-Bängs in terms of on-track effort.

He rode at Iwade for Kent Kings against Mildenhall on 10th May, beaten only by James Shane's in the final heat:

Eagles: Edward Kennett 14(5), Ben Morley 12(5), Jack Kingston 11+1(5), Connor King 5+2(5), Alex Chadd 5+1(5), Nathan Hargrave 5(5). – 52

Fen Tigers: James Shanes 12(5), Ben Whalley 10(5), Sam Woods 7+1(5), Kenzie Cossey 6+1(5), Patryk Daniszewski 3(5), Max Broadhurst 0(5) – 38

I know this means nothing in terms of how Kennett might perform in the Prem, but at least it shows he's kept fit and is still interested in riding.

Presumably someone like Mulford didn't fancy it

Eddie Kennett who saw that coming, still hope he does well enough to silence the doubters!!

I wonder what the Witches legend Gavan makes of this signing?

He’ll say he’s better than Kurtz

A moderate half season in 2021 at his specialist home track - 5 yrs up the road , good luck to him, he will need it .
