Midland League East Park Wolves V Wednesfield
Sunday 29 July 2012

At half time East Park were 18 points down and were still in the mood for a win. In the second half Wednesfield started to make a few mistakes and 3 gate exclusions kept the finishing score much closer than it should have been: East Park proving again they will all ways keep the pressure on no matter what .

East Park 81: Stuart Bentley 10 ,Brandon Whetton 5,Jamie Ball 15,Lee Smith 10, Will Cartwright 8, Matt Smith 16, David Ball 13, Josh Hill 4 ,

Wednesfield 95: Chris Jewkes 12, Matt Haddock 12, Mark Griffiths 14, Ricky Johnson 13, Lee Aris 14, Scott Doherty 18, Sam Parr 7 , Mick Aris 5,

The second team match was just as entertaining as the first all these young riders can put on a good show, Wednesfield using their veteran Dave Meanley in their second team which made them far too strong for the young Wolves. The match was ridden in very good spirit with some good passing moves from both sides ,

East Park 55: Will Cartwright 14, Liam Cartwright 5, Brandon Whetton 17, Josh Whetton 5 , Josh Hill 6, John Whetton 6 , Tommy Hampson 2,

Midland League Birmingham Monarchs v Coventry
Sunday 29th July 2012

This was another Midland League match raced in an excellent atmosphere but in extreme weather conditions: heat-wave to monsoon and back again in the space of 90 minutes!!

Coventry provided the first race winner of the day as Konrad Pietak had a tapes to flag victory in heat 1 as Nathan Groves and Scott Millward settled in the minor places for a shared 5-5 result.

Heat 2 saw Coventry guest Mark Winwood make a flying start and it took Chris Timms threelaps to finally make a pass that stuck, but you do know with Chris that if it doesn’t happen the first time he will certainly be coming back for more. Phil Widdas settled into 3rd place and the first advantage went to the Monarchs.

The two Pauls, Heard and Timms were together in heat 3 and a super first turn by Paul H got his partner clear and despite all of the efforts of Myke Grimes and Paul Jannoway the first 7-3 was registered. A further 6-4 from Nathan Groves and Euan Hancock pushed the Birmingham lead to 24-16 after 4 heats.

Heat 5 saw Konrad grab his second race win, this time over Scott Millward and with Joe McLaughlin grabbing 3rd Coventry had their first heat advantage and the lead was reduced to 6. Step forward messrs Heard and Timms for their 2nd 7-3, this time from the gate with Paul H doing the covering job on Mark Winwood whilst Paul T enjoyed the fresh air out front.

Heat 7 saw Myke Grimes take the flag despite the efforts of Nathan Groves and with Paul Jannaway beating Rich Stephenson to the line Coventry grabbed another heat advantage. At this stage the score was Birmingham 39 Coventry 31.

At this point the heavens opened and during the monsoon Chris Timms inflicted the first defeat for Konrad Pietak with an excellent pass in heat 8 and in heat 9 Mark Winwood and Joe McLaughlin followed Scott Millward home for a 5-5 – interval score Birmingham 50 Coventry 40.

The interval lasted for about 20 minutes as the rain passed over and it was great credit to both sets of riders as they helped repair the track for the 2nd half of the meeting. Heat 10 saw Paul Heard feature in his 3rd 7-3 of the afternoon, this time with Scott Millward. Myke Grimes became the first rider to head home Chris Timms in heat 11 with a great effort and then Coventry guest Mark Winwood took the flag in heat 12 with James Kirrane winning a great battle with Rich Stephenson for 3rd place – progressive score 66-54.

All afternoon whenever it looked like Coventry were getting a bit of momentum going it seemed to be time for Paul Heard and Paul Timms to re-appear and this again happened in heat 13. Konrad made an excellent start and it looked like both Pauls would suffer their first defeats of the afternoon – all Paul H’s efforts to power round Konrad led to nothing as the Czestochowa man picked up so quickly out of every turn – with one lap to go Paul pulled a line on Konrad and as Konrad tried to retaliate he found himself on the wrong side of his man and the inevitable ‘trip to the shops’ followed with Paul Timms gratefully taking advantage to record his 3rd consecutive race win and Paul Heard kept up his record of every race being a 7-3.

Step forward Joe McLaughlin – turning back the clock with a fine gate in heat 14 to lead home his teammate Myke Grimes for the Hearsall Common sides first and only 7-3 of the match. The Coventry joy was short-lived however as Chris Timms and Scott Millward immediately retaliated with a Monarchs 7-3 over Jannaway and Burnett.

Heats 16 and 17 were both shared – Paul Timms winning heat 16 for 4 race wins out of 4 and Mark Winwood winning heat 17. And so to heat 18 with Birmingham pairing Chris Timms and Paul Heard against top Coventry riders Pietak and Grimes – it suggested fireworks and at the first time of asking the riders all got to the first bend together with Paul H being thrown over the handlebars – fortunately he was able to get straight back up as all 4 riders were invited to contest the re-run.

The first turn was equally as tight next time around but it was the Monarchs pairing that emerged in front and they were not going to be caught – Paul Heards 5th ride and 5th 7-3 of the afternoon – final score Birmingham 100 Coventry 80. Many thanks to Natalie Timms for refereeing and also to Chris Simpson – the announcer at Birmingham motor Speedway who did a fantastic job on the mike at his first ever cycle speedway match.

Birmingham Monarchs 100: Nathan Groves 16, Rich Stevenson 4, Chris Timms 18+1, Phil Widdas 8+1, Paul Timms 16, Paul Heard 16+4, Euan Hancock 6+1, Scott Millward 16+1.

Coventry 80 : Liam McGuire 9, Konrad Pietak 15, Mark Winwood 16, James Kirrane 8, Myke Grimes 13+1, Paul Jannaway 7, McCauley Burnett 3, Joe McLaughlin 9+1.

Midland League Leicester v Stoke
Sunday 29 July

Whilst Leicester never looked troubled by their visitors the Stoke top four never let the home team relax. Lewis Bates was at his supreme best in notching a twenty point maximum, Simon Munden had an excellent meeting and Thaw and Harrison were always in the action.

Top men for Leicester were Ryan Hoyland and Lukas Nowacki but the star of the day was Liam Davies who, on his senior debut, collected a paid maximum.

Leicester 99: R Hoyland 18, L Nowacki 17+1. J Kemp 14+1, L Davies 11+1, N Whitehead 11+1, K Burns 11, C Marchant 10+1, A Doughty 7+2

Stoke 79: L Bates 20, S Munden 14, R Harrison 14, E Thaw 11+1, K Williams 6, J Phillips 6, R Pope 5, E Beal 3

The two junior matches were both won by Leicester, Jayden Phillips and in particular Kelvin Williams rode well for Stoke. The Lions can be proud of their win, their top six consisted entirely of female riders and they all gave the boys some very hard races.

Monarchs 77: (Liam Davies 16, Lee Kemp14)

Stoke 53: (K Williams 12+1, L Bates 9)

Lions 71: (Elizabeth Rigley 15, Abi Duckham 10)

Stoke 59: (J Phillips 14, K Williams 12)

And finally a mention to the Stoke senior riders who all rode with a great sense of sportsmanship against the Leicester youngsters, I’m sure eight year old Alfie Cherry will always remember the day he beat Lewis Bates – from the back!!

South & South Wales League Division 1 Round-up

There were victories for all three clubs involved in the Division 1 title race with reigning champions Horspath tracking their heavy hitters Steve Harris and Mark Boaler to underline an emphatic win against East Newport at the Oxford circuit. Aaron Hughes and Dan Bock impressed for the 'East Enders'.

Meanwhile back in South Wales, Mark Carmichael and Jack Harrold were in good form for Newport after their excellent showing for Wales in Saturday's home internationals. Ex-British Champion Gavin Wheeler ensured that Southampton were competitive throughout and Dan Miller showed some good touches after his recent return to the saddle.

Neil Hollebon rarely drops points on his home Hellingly circuit but he had to admit second best to Arron Morgan in the opening race at Eastbourne as Poole sought an early advantage. That proved to be the only defeat for Neil who included two wins over Polish star Greg Gluchowski in his remaining five races but the visitors packed the greater strength in depth as they wrapped up the league points in their attempt to regain the Division 1 title they last won in 2010.
