Tom Thumb Posted Monday at 06:55 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:55 PM Mildenhall Fen Tigers are on the road (and indeed boat!) next week with an away trip to the Isle of Wight on Tuesday 11th. August. Supporters Trust Club Chairperson, Kieran Phillips is looking forward to more success at Smallbrook after the Fen Tigers had a successful sortie over the Solent in their comeback year of 2025. “We’ve got James Shanes back in our colours after missing the last two Fen Tigers’ matches due to his Long Track commitments on the Continent. We know how well James goes at the Isle of Wight which is in many ways a track like those large circuits he excels in racing on mainland Europe. "Then there’s our Aussie & NZ pairing of Harry Sadler and Ben Whalley who having been brought up on the larger circuits down under should also do well at the IOW, the largest track operating in the UK. Boston-based Mickie Simpson makes his Fen Tigers' debut - Mickie has been in excellent form this season included joining Shanes in the European Grasstrack Championship Final later this month. "Completing our line up will be Harrison Rogers and, making a track comeback, Fen Tiger of old Scott Campos. I’m confident as I take Team Manager duties again on the night, that we can repeat our win there of last season” The Isle of Wight are one of the other stand alone tracks competing under NORA regulations - indeed they are the club who pioneered the move to NORA and Phillips speaks of the fantastic support given by the Ryde-based club, "We are really grateful to Martin Widman. promoter at the IOW for the fantastic backing that he's given us at Mildenhall in every way. It's been striking this year how the three standalone NORA tracks (us, IOW & our next opponents coming up at West Row, Kent) have worked together whenever they can to provide mutual support. It's the way forward for the sport." The NORA League match Isle of Wight Warriors vs. Mildenhall Fen Tigers (with supporting events in the meeting as a whole of Junior Racing and the IOW Summer Flat Track Championship) on Tuesday 11th. is at Isle of Wight Speedway, Smallbrook Stadium, Ashey Road, Ryde, IOW PO33 4BH - 7pm start time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Thumb Posted yesterday at 07:44 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:44 AM (edited) t’s second leg time to decide the destiny of the Pioneer Cup on Saturday (15th) - with the Fen Tigers looking to overcome a 14 points deficit from the first leg, held at Iwade all the way back in May. The Eagles come with a strong heat leader line up headed by a rider who, remarkably, hasn’t ridden at West Row for just a few days short of 20 years: one time SGP rider and many times GB international, Edward Kennett. He’s backed up by ‘Mr Kent Speedway’ himself, twice National League Riders’ Champion, Ben Morley and former Fen Tigers’ rider, Jack Kingston. Morley and Kingston won the Pairs event at Mildenhall in the last meeting of course. Top individual scorer in that event was Simon Lambert - and the multi-British Finalist lines up on Saturday for the Fen Tigers - along with twice NZ national champion Ben Whalley and there’s a return to Mildenhall colours of the ever popular Arran Butcher. Making a Fen Tigers’ debut will be Championship rider, Vinnie Foord.
