"The local cycle speedway league started this week with an entertaining pair’s event. Twenty riders clashed wheels over three groups on the new surface that was laid at the end of last season in preparation for the long awaited return to the British League division one racing with the first home match on March 23rd. The track rode well and produced some fine racing. In group C the racing was very even with all four pairs within 2 points of each other after three rides each. Lauren Hookway and Owen Tidball scored a 7-3 heat win in their last race to secure first place on 23 points with Tyler Govier and Shannon Borrowdale finishing second on 20 points. In group B Corey Heyde and Dan Winchester were behind after the first round of races but came back with two 7-3 heat wins to race away at the front with 23 points followed by Aaron Coles / Jack Herbert and Joe Avery / Will Tidball both scoring 18 points. The A group saw some great action and a close finish but a 7-3 heat win in their second ride gave Thomas Red and Tim Lake the edge to take them to the top spot on 21 points followed closely by Dominic McCrae and James Crampton on 20 points.
Local League Racing for any age or ability takes place at the Cofton Road Wheels Centre Marsh Barton every Thursday night from 7.30 – 9.00. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. For anyone who would like to come and try it races will be held during the night for newcomers, bikes and safety wear are available for use on the night if needed. For more details telephone Andy Collett on Exeter 662954. "
