Ipswich v Hethersett
Location: Ipswich Cycle Speedway, Ipswich
Event: 14 August 2011

Hethersett Hawks/Swinton & Co were well below full strength for their visit to Ipswich who also had riders absent. A good match transpired but Ipswich's promising young squad came through to win comfortably.

Phil Adams was again the top Hawk as he won three of his five races but the highlight was the return of his brother David after a year's break. He had lost none of his tactical awareness and aggressive riding but did lack a bit of fitness. Likewise Harley Hamill, who has had not been available much and picked up two exclusions on the starting grid. Scott Grimes again showed promise and won heat 8 from the back and this was followed by a rousing 7-3 win by David Adams and Roger Carter.

In the South East Division 2 match Hethersett had only three other riders available so some tired first-team riders shared the remaining rides and were well beaten by the reigning champions. Scott Grimes won heat 1 and Harley Hamill secured a couple of second places but apart from that it was one way traffic. Still it gave the likes of Emma Betts and Richard Wiltshire so more useful experience.

Tiffany Collins overcame her injury to keep in contention to defend her British Youth & Junior Girls Grand Prix title when she scored 14 points and took second place in the second national round at Stockport. Carly Grimes was impressive after a difficult first race and won the C Final while in the U16 event Oliver Buxton struggled to master the track but made the D Final where he finished fourth.

In the Norfolk Grand Prix at Harford Park Scott Grimes won the U16s with Buxton second and there were also second places for Phil Adams (Senior) and Carly Grimes (Ladies).

This Sunday the Hawks U10 and U14 teams are in action at Great Blakenham while on Saturday Mel Pekins will be racing in the British over-50s and over-60s championships in Edinburgh.

South League Division 1 Round-Up
Event: 14 August 2011
Report: Graham Sutton

Close matches are the rule rather than the exception in the South West as another four competitive encounters saw league victories for East Newport, Horspath, Swindon and Southampton. Defeats for front runners Newport and Poole dented their title aspirations and the league is once again wide open with two months to go.

With Ben Mould on international duty, a rejuvenated Exeter almost pulled off a surprise at East Newport but costly exclusions early on restricted their chances. Title favourites Newport could have put one hand on the league trophy if they had pulled off a win at Horspath but the powerful and unbeatable spearhead of Steve Harris and Mark Boaler paved the way for a home win to put the Oxford club right back in contention.

Swindon hung on for a narrow win at the Oasis after leading by 14 points in the early stages against last year's champions Poole who were without five first team regulars. Greg Gluchowski raced to six unbeaten rides for the visitors but greater experience down the riding order won the day for the Wiltshire club.

South Coast derbies between Southampton and Hellingly invariably produce nailbiters and the latest encounter was no exception. Jesse Moore gave further evidence of just what an exciting young talent he is and along with the Hollebon brothers, forms a powerful heat leader trio for the Eastbourne based club. Victory for the Saints at Winchester Road was probably down to the inclusion of one of their experienced former top men Nathan Harris who topped the scorechart despite a lack of regular racing.
