The Wednesfield Aces travelled strongly to Sunday’s second round of the FlexiLeague, held at the beautiful East Park circuit. A total of 31 riders signed on, with Wednesfield well represented by 13 riders—many of them our trusted young talents. With everything set, an exciting afternoon of cycle speedway soon got underway.
In the Senior Formula, competition was tight throughout, with the winning margin coming down to just a single point after 15 heats.
In the other formula Wednesfield fielded an impressive 11 juniors, and it was their combined efforts that secured the club victory on the day, finishing with a total of 152 points.
A standout performance came from Nevaeh, who went unbeaten all day and achieved a maximum score of 20 points. All of our riders put in strong performances and continue to show great improvement, which is fantastic to see.
A big well done goes to all the volunteers who helped the event run smoothly, as well as match referee Bob Prince for overseeing an excellent day of racing.
Overall, it was another fantastic day of cycle speedway for the Wednesfield Aces.

​The Dash… When the season starts. 
The Dash never disappoints – and this year was no exception. With riders setting personal targets and the main challenge being 10 rides around the Ashmore Park circuit, the day delivered win after win both on and off the track.
One of the biggest victories? The cycle speedway community coming together to kick off a brand new season. Even the classic March weather couldn’t dampen spirits – there was a real buzz around the track all day.
👏 A huge thank you to everyone who made the event happen.
Special thanks go to referees Bob Prince and Matt Wilcockson, with Bob officiating the mammoth main event of 80+ heats and re-runs in true UK conditions.
🎤 Thanks also to announcers Matt Parr, showing his skills on the mic, alongside resident voice Wayne Aris.
