Statement From Mildenhall Speedway

The Silverski Fours Tournament

This post hopefully clarifies the reasoning behind our decision not to take part in the above event

Our leg was due to be held on Sunday 4th August with Kent holding the final leg the following evening. On the Sunday 4th we will be without Danny Ayres and Henry Atkins, Kent will be missing Drew Kemp and Anders Rowe whilst the Isle of Wight will be missing Georgie Wood and Ben Morley. To try and run on this day with all the top riders absent would be financial suicide on our part with the costs associated with running speedway at Mildenhall.

We now have meetings from this Sunday (14th July) through to September 1st with September 8th as our one reserve date for rain etc. We cannot consider changing a meeting as they are all National League fixtures and we cannot run without our top two riders as we still hold aspirations of making the play offs.

Fen Tigers Stoked For A Busy Weekend

It’s a busy and highly important weekend for the Mildenhall Fen Tigers proudly sponsored by Manchetts Rescue and Recovery. Saturday evening see’s one of the National League’s main events, the National League 4TT Finals at Stoke (6.45pm) followed the next day by a must win home National League fixture versus Stoke.

The foursome for Saturday will be led by the flying Danny Ayres who is scoring impressive points in all three leagues. Back up comes from Jason Edwards who returns to Stoke a week after a fourteen point guest return and Henry Atkins and Matt Marson. On paper the Fen Tigers look to be in the harder of the two groups but travel with confidence and will be looking to bring back the trophy the club last won in 2012.

Sunday issimply a meeting the Fen Tigers cannot lose, currently sat at the bottom of the National League, but with games in hand, the Fen Tigers need to embark on a run of victories to move them into the top four of the league. Back to full strength they will be looking to dispose of a Stoke septet that will be missing both ex Fen Tigers captain Connor Coles and Joe Lawlor. Making a quick return to Mildenhall after his recent departure will be David Wallinger whilst their second guest is a Mildenhall favourite, the 2018 captain Jordan Jenkins.

Returning Ryan Helps Fen Tigers Hammer Thurrock

It was like 2018 all over again as ‘Flyin’ Ryan Kinsley and Captain Fantastic Danny Ayres led the Mildenhall Fen Tigers, proudly sponsored by Manchetts Rescue and Recovery to a scintillating 63-27 victory over the Thurrock ‘Hammers’

Ayres went through the card unbeaten recording a fifteen point maximum whilst Kinsley was paid 15 from his six rides. With great backing from Jason Edwards and the returning Charlie Brooks with paid 14 and paid 12 respectively the Fen Tigers were never in danger. The always lively Rob Ledwith was the best of the visitors with paid 13 from his six rides.

The racing was somewhat secondary though, as the Fen Tigers management dedicated the afternoon to their number 8 Sam Norris who is currently battling a severe head injury in Addenbrookes Hospital. Supporters rose to the occasion with an incredible collection that made just short of £2,000.00 and when added to a signed t-shirt auction and the sale of Sam Norris t-shirts at the track added up to a total of £3,400.00.
