2019 Fen Tigers Ready To Roar!

The 2019 Mildenhall Fen Tigers proudly sponsored by Manchetts Rescue and Recovery open their season with a challenge fixture against a ‘Poultec’ select side this Sunday 21st April at 3pm.

Polutec Training is a private training provider of Apprenticeships, Traineeships, Study Programmes and Vocational courses. Well known in speedway circles Poultec has proved very successful in supporting the development of young speedway riders, not only do they learn and develop the basics of speedway but are advised in many other important supporting ways and life skills. The Fen Tigers have benefited from their work recently with the likes of Connor Mountain, Drew Kemp and Sam
Bebee.

Mildenhall will sadly start their season without Sam Bebee who damaged his back in an accident over the weekend and will miss the opening months of the season. Whilst the club search for an alternative they will operate rider replacement for Bebee on Sunday and on the Isle of Wight and Plymouth in next weeks opening National Trophy fixtures. Supporters will however have the opportunity to see five debutants in the Fen Tigers colours on Sunday whilst Poultec will be led by Tom Brennan and Anders Rowe who both are doubling up for the first time in the Championship. Another familiar face to home supporters will be Alex Spooner of the Kent Kings.

Speedway Star's Loss Is Our Gain...

You may have read about the changes in the Speedway Star and them not using local reporters now. This meant the doyen of the pen and Fen Tigers legend Randall Butt was no longer required to write his atmospheric and witty reports and pieces on behalf of the club.

Following a quick chat with Randall this weekend we are very pleased to announce he will be writing a piece in our programme this season … a man always worth reading we look forward to reading his thoughts on Mildenhall and speedway in general

Fen Tigers No 1 Gets Early Championship Call

With the season less than a month old, the Mildenhall ‘Fen Tigers’ No 1 Danny Ayres has received an early opportunity to prove himself in the Championship. Ayres received the call from Scunthorpe following the North Lincolnshire club’s decision to dispense with the services of young Australian Jedd List.

Ayres will link up with no fewer than four ex-Fen Tigers in the current ‘Scorpions’ line up, 2018 stars Josh Bailey and Ryan Kinsley along with 2012 Grand Slam winners Stefan Nielsen and Jason Garrity.

Fen Tigers General Manager Phil Kirk said “As a club we are really pleased for Danny, he certainly deserves his opportunity and we did think from the off that he would be a rider on many clubs shortlists should changes be forthcoming. We have looked at the fixtures and we will be without Danny on a handful of occasions away but he will be at all our home meetings as things currently stand. We can assure supporters that the best possible replacements will be sort to cover Danny’s absences.

I spoke to Danny earlier today and naturally he was very pleased to get the call, but was extremely keen to make it clear that he remains totally dedicated to the Fen Tigers cause, something we have never doubted”
