A fantastic day of racing unfolded under sunny skies at Wednesfield’s Ashmore Park circuit, with a strong turnout and plenty of competitive action throughout.
The day began with a well-supported junior event, attracting 18 riders. In a move designed to maximise competition and development, riders were grouped by ability rather than age. This approach created closely fought races and provided an excellent platform for improvement. It was particularly encouraging to see such a healthy number of young riders enjoying cycle speedway across the Midland region.
Attention then turned to the first round of this season’s Midland Battles series. The competition features five teams, with the Birmingham club fielding two sides. It was these two teams that set the pace, frequently exchanging the lead in an exciting contest. Ultimately, the Birmingham Saints proved too strong for the Birmingham Sinners to take the top spot on the day.
Host club Wednesfield delivered a solid performance to secure third place, followed by Leicester, with Coventry close behind. The new format ensured plenty of racing and kept the competition engaging from start to finish.
Well done to all riders and officials for contributing to a thoroughly enjoyable and successful day of cycle speedway
