Following on from Monday’s announcement that Mildenhall Speedway would be the hosts of one of the British U21 Semi-Finals the club are proud to be able to confirm they will also be hosting the British U19 Final at Mildenhall Stadium on Sunday 22nd August at 3pm.
One of the most eagerly anticipated events of the speedway season, supporters can look forward to seeing the likes of current Champion and ex Fen Tiger Drew Kemp defend his trophy against Leon Flint, Jordan Palin, Dan Gilkes and our own Fen Tiger Jason Edwards amongst others. This is a rare chance to see the current exciting crop of young British Speedway riders go head-to-head over 20 heats of speedway.
Club Promoter Greg Palmer said: “This is another exciting moment for us and our supporters, to hold such a prestigious event at Mildenhall is quite a coup and we will do everything we can to guarantee it is a day to remember in the history of Mildenhall Speedway for all the right reasons. I want to thank GB Under 21 Team Manager Neil Vatcher and BSPL Chairman Rob Godfrey for all the support we have been given since announcing we would run this season, it really has made a big difference to the club and we can’t wait now for the season to get underway.
On the subject of the new season we have now submitted our dates and hopefully our NDL fixtures will be announced in the next few days
Mildenhall speedway are pleased to announce that their 2021 season will open with one of the prestigious British U21 Semi Finals on Sunday 6th June at 3pm (the other Semi Final being held at Newcastle on the 30th May).
This is an exciting development for the Fen Tigers who are currently working with the BSPL on other potentially high profile events. The club wish to go on record offering their thanks and appreciation to SCB Co-ordinator Neil Vatcher for his help and support in Mildenhall receiving this event, and we look forward to staging a successful meeting.
We will announce more news on this meeting as it becomes available.
In other news the club are making good progress with their fixtures for the forthcoming season. With the delayed start and truncated season it has not been an easy task, added to which the Euros Football Final and Cardiff Speedway GP on successive weekends in July have taken away valuable summer Sundays. We will announce our dates as soon as possible but would grateful to supporters for their understanding that the usual flow of meetings we attempt to have in a normal season may not be achieved so successfully this year.
Mildenhall Fen Tigers proudly sponsored by Manchett's Rescue and Recovery are very pleased to reveal the two riders that complete the make-up of the team for 2021. One is probably easily anticipated by supporters the second would be perhaps harder to guess but at the Club it is felt that they have made an outstanding capture that is totally consistent with the commitment to the success of the challenging new speedway system that we find ourselves in for 2021.
