​Yesterday we were hosts to the 2026 little league British championships and the U12’s and U14’s British Championships. Many of our aces were making their debuts to the British Championships event and they all did so amazingly!
A long day started at 9am with three of our young aces racing in the U8’s event.
Leo S had a great time completing his laps with his determination to make sure he finished all his races and scored 6 points.
George C rode his way to 2 well earnt second places helping to push his total to 9 points.
Ellis D showed his race craft on his home track to take him to two race wins with his impressive final score finishing on 13 points.
Onto the U10’s our youngsters really shined Hunter, Jorja and Arlo scored 5, 7 and 8 points respectively.
Jenson C scored 13 points in his heats sending him into the A final where he picked up the 3rd medal position a great achievement.
Nevaeh only dropping one point in her heats also made her way into the A final which she won to bring home the U10’s Girls British title.
Ellis, Hunter, Jenson, Nevaeh and Arlo then all banded together for the U10’s team event managed by Georgia and assisted by Jorja B. All 5 rode so incredibly well taking it down to the final race where Jenson claimed the second place spot meaning the aces team finished 2nd overall. This is an incredible achievement we are so proud of you team!!!
Turning back to the individuals Gráinne made her debut to the championship and scored an impressive 14 points even catching the interest of potential future Ireland women’s team rider
Nyla showed pure class with her speedway talent that even after a very unfortunate fall still scored 18points putting her in a run off for second place which she won to take home the silver medal.
Next was the lads turn and Jacob qualified for the U14’s final with a race win in his second ride. Having made it to the final Jacob’s talent around his home track shone through with many commenting it’s the best we’ve ever seen young Jewkes ride! Unfortunately in one of his heats he suffered a nasty fall while defending his position against Tom C from Southampton. Wednesfield would like to wish both boys a speedy recovery. Due to first aid reasoning this capped Jacob’s points at 12 for the meeting. But we are so impressed with the way he rode the future looking bright for a title next year .
To conclude a very long busy day Gráinne, Nyla, Jacob, Dominic and Lucas all teamed up for the Under 14’s team event. Each and every rider supported each other through the meeting to get a joint total of 29 points putting them in joint fourth position.
Well done to all our riders you made us so proud!
Also shout out to Jacob for supporting all his teammates throughout the day and showing off his new skills of riding his bike with no balance wheels, well done and thank you for your support!!!!

​UPDATES SO FAR: WE HAVE A BRITISH CHAMP
In the Under 10’s we had two podium finishers Jenson in the open event where he finished in an impressive 3rd place. And our new BRITISH CHAMP NEVAEH your 2026 U10’s girls champion!!!! Many congratulations to you both.

​WE HAVE ANOTHER
When one Wednesfield Aces British Champ is not enough for today Lee Aris has just took his first white jersey in the Over 40’s Event! After two years of silver medals in the event it was finally his turn for the gold. That one would have meant a lot!
Massive congratulations to you Lee Aris the club are beyond proud!

​WE HAVE A BRITISH CHAMPION
In the junior final over at Leicester this morning Corey Burt stormed his way to the top spot with a flawless 20 point maximum. His first two races he had to execute two well timed passes on northern riders Oliver Banyard and Noah Lyon to take the lead so was very well deserved.
This marks not only his first British championship title but his first ever British podium as a whole!!!
Many many congratulations Corey the club are so so proud of you and in the words of Aces legend Mick Aris ‘you little pocket rocket’

​Yesterday we held some more qualifiers in preparation for today’s finals day.
Nyla battled so hard in every single race she had right through till the very end for the women’s qualifier but didn’t end up qualifying alongside teammate Georgia who will be first reserve for the final at 2pm the first women’s final she’ll miss being in the top 16 since 2018 when she made her debut in Hull.
After Corey’s success in the first round of qualifiers the semi final was met with a tough draw and some mighty battles. Still scoring an impressive 11 points including a race win he just missed out on qualifying to the open final.
Today Corey will be racing in the junior final his sights set on potentially his first ever British podium, final starts at 10am.
Next up Lee Aris and Chris Jewkes will be taking to the Leicester circuit in the Over 40’s final at 12pm.
Georgia will still be in attendance for the women’s final as first reserve which begins at 2pm before the weekend closes with the 4pm open final

​Our aces riders all had great success in today’s Day One Events!
First up Corey Burt only dropped 2 points (one being a tape movement deduction) to finish in an impressive second place over all in his Open Quarter Final firmly securing his spot in tomorrow’s Open Semi Finals.
Next up Jacob Jewkes left it till the last second to qualify for the Under 16’s Boys Final but made it after a fast battle in the last race of the repechage. The U16’s Final concluded a very wet race day where Jacob scored a hard earned 7 points! Great work Jacob!!
In between the Under 16’s boys events the Under 16’s girls final took place which Nyla represented the aces in. Nyla continued to show her fantastic improvement on her home shale. She went onto score an incredible 14 points with a couple of hard earned race wins! Well done Nyla you’ve absolutely smashed it today superstar!!
Tomorrow sees Corey in the Open Semi Finals,
Georgia and Nyla in the women’s pre-qualifier hoping to secure their spots in the women’s final on Monday.
As always thank you to all our volunteers who kept everything moving so smoothly today despite the wet conditions - see you all tomorrow!!!

On Saturday 15th August, East Park Wolves staged the second national round of this year’s British Youth & Junior League (BYJL).
Despite being a few riders down due to holidays, the Wednesfield Aces delivered a determined and highly competitive set of performances across all age groups.
Under 8s
With 16 riders lining up in the u8s, Wednesfield fielded a strong trio: Leo Scrivens, Ellis Doherty, and debutant Oakley Doherty.
Ellis Doherty produced one of the standout rides of the day, scoring a superb 14pts in qualifying to book his place in the A Final. After a fierce battle in the main event, he narrowly missed the podium, finishing 4th — an excellent achievement in a tough field.
Leo Scrivens fought hard throughout qualifying, finishing on 8pts and earning a spot in the C Final, where he secured 3rd place with a composed ride.
Making his competitive cycle speedway debut was young Oakley Doherty impressed with his determination, scoring 5pts in qualifying and progressing to the D Final, where he stormed to 1st place — a brilliant way to mark his first outing.
Under 10s
Wednesfield’s sole representative in the u10s was Arlo Scrivens, who showed grit and consistency all afternoon.
Arlo finished his qualifying races on 8pts, placing him in the B Final, where he delivered a strong ride to take 2nd place.
Under 14s
In the u14s, Jacob once again demonstrated his growing confidence and race craft.
His 8pts in qualifying earned him gate 1 in the B Final, and he made full use of it — powering to 1st place and securing another excellent result for the Aces

After a very VERY busy two days of the European championships being held at Wednesfield they firmly hand over the baton to Birmingham to host finals day today. So how have our aces got on so far?
In the nations cups event England took all the spoils coming away with gold in every category!!
We had Corey Burt compete in his final ever Junior England event with all seconds and a race win he kept England in contention till it came down to the very last heat for England to take the win. Lee Aris also took to the track in the vets nations cup putting in a strong performance. That event too came down to the wire where his team mate Mark Boaler represented England against Poland in a two way run off for the top spot on the podium.
Well done Lee and Corey you certainly made the club and country very proud!
Individually:
Chris Jewkes has qualified for the vets final
Lee Aris has qualified for the vets final and for the Open semi finals which take place first thing this morning
Corey Burt has qualified for the junior final and only missed out on the open semi finals by a point
Scott Doherty unfortunately had to with draw after his first open qualifying match after becoming unwell.
For the girls Georgia and Nyla the women’s final was in touching distance with both of our girls being one point off the run off for a spot in the final in their respective semi finals. Nyla certainly impressed many with her riding skills the future is looking very bright for this young ace so she will be one to watch next time round
Many congratulations to all of our riders best of luck to Lee, Chris and Corey in their finals today we will be cheering you on all the way
