With the Bank Holiday forecast threatening to bring a version of Poland;s ;Wet Monday; to most of the country the decision was made to call off proceedings with a day to spare. At the time of going to press no re-staging date had been arranged.

The Rockets made an assured start but there were signs that with track specialist Michael Palm-Toft once more showing his liking for the tight Hoddesdon bends and Hans Andersen certainly looking up for the task Leicester could push the home side all the way. The Lions will certainly hope for more from Martin Vaculik and Krystian Pieszczek when they return to East Hertfordshire. The pair both looked off the pace in their British League debuts. In contrast Aaron Summers made the most of his first Rockets appearance powering from the start to win heat 1 while it seemed Edward Kennett had never been away the former club captain returning the fastest time of the night in Heat 3. There are already signs that Kennett’s partnership with Krzysztof Kasprzak who remained unbeaten in his two races could prove a vital part of the Rockets armoury. Unfortunately the deteriorating conditions dictated there was little racing of note an increasingly greasy surface and poor visibility causing problems in the last few races. Heat 8 did provide an exciting spectacle with riders almost changing places at will but by that stage it was clear that the only winner on the night was going to be the falling rain which eventually gave referee Christina Turnbull little option but to call proceedings to a halt after talking to both team captains Pete Hill - Speedway Star HOME TEAM No. RIDER 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: R PTS BP T PTS FM PM 1 HARRIS, Chris 1 2 2 3.0 0.0 3.0 2 SUMMERS, Aaron 3 1* 1 3 5.0 1.0 6.0 3 KASPRZAK, Krzysztof 2* 3 2 5.0 1.0 6.0 4 KENNETT, Edward 3 1 2 4.0 0.0 4.0 5 NICHOLLS, Scott 2 2 2 4.0 0.0 4.0 6 ROBSON, Stuart 3 1* 2 4.0 1.0 5.0 7 CLEGG, Max 0 0 0 3 0.0 0.0 0.0 AWAY TEAM No. RIDER 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: R PTS BP T PTS FM PM 1 VACULIK, Martin R 0 2 0.0 0.0 0.0 2 PALM TOFT, Michealm 2 2 3 3 7.0 0.0 7.0 3 KING, Daniel 1 3 2 4.0 0.0 4.0 4 PIESZCZEK, Krystian 0 R 2 0.0 0.0 0.0 5 ANDERSEN, Hans 3 3 2 6.0 0.0 6.0 6 SARJEANT, James 2 0 2 2.0 0.0 2.0 7 NEWMAN, Kyle 1* 1 2* 3 4.0 2.0 6.0 Ht. 1st: 2nd 3rd Unplaced Time H A H A Other: 1 SUMMERS, A PALM TOFT, M HARRIS, Chris VACULIK, M Ret 60.9 4.0 2.0 4.0 2.0 2 ROBSON, St. SARJEANT, J NEWMAN, K CLEGG, M 61.6 3.0 3.0 7.0 5.0 3 KENNETT, E KASPRZAK, K KING, D PIESZCZEK, K 59.6 5.0 1.0 12.0 6.0 4 ANDERSEN, H NICHOLLS, S NEWMAN, K CLEGG, M 61.2 2.0 4.0 14.0 10.0 5 KASPRZAK, K PALM TOFT, M KENNETT, E VACULIK, M 59.8 4.0 2.0 18.0 12.0 6 ANDERSEN, H HARRIS, Chris SUMMERS, A SARJEANT, J 60.5 3.0 3.0 21.0 15.0 7 KING, D NICHOLLS, S ROBSON, St. PIESZCZEK, K Ret 60.9 3.0 3.0 24.0 18.0 8 PALM TOFT, M NEWMAN, K SUMMERS, A CLEGG, M F/Rem 60.4 1.0 5.0 25.0 23.0 Page 4 07/03/2019 VENUE MONMORE GREEN COMPETITION LEAGUE WOLVERHAMPTON 60.0 30.0 RYE HOUSE DATE: 16/04/2018 RESULT: RESULT VOID AGREGATE SCORE Wolves showed no signs of rustiness as they opened their campaign with a crushing 60-30 victory over Rye House. Jacob Thorssell returned from the serious back injury he sustained at the end of 2017 with a five-ride maximum, and he partnered Kyle Howarth to four of Wolves' six 5-1s, as the Manchester man racked up an impressive paid 15. Wolves started in the best possible fashion, with Howarth slipping inside Aaron Summers entering the third turn and Thorssell joined him at the front. Rockets seemed set for a 5-1 in Heat 2 until Max Clegg slid off on the first turn at the start of lap three, as the Wolves pairing challenged him on the inside. It was Heat 5 before the visitors registered a heat advantage. Rory Schlein passed Summers and chased after Chris Harris, but the former GP winner took the flag. Although Rye had three different race winners, they lacked top end strength, while reserves Stuart Robson and Clegg suffered a string of misfortune. Ashley Morris certainly enjoyed his return to Wolves' colours, claiming the scalps of Scott Nicholls and Krzysztof Kasprzak in his paid nine. He held off a determined challenge from the former British Champion in Heat 4, joining Sam Masters for a 5-1, and then took the flag in Heat 12 to defeat the former World No.2. Wolves finished with two 4-2s and two 5-1s in the last four heats. The race of the night was arguably Heat 15. Edward Kennett was excluded after falling on the third turn under pressure from an inside challenge from Howarth. In the re-run, Nicolls rode the young Wolves man wide in a robust first lap, but Howarth wasn't to be denied and he and Thorsell both charged under the visitor off the last bend of lap three to seal Wolves' emphatic win.
