martyn1949 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 If you've never been to speedway, you're missing a great spectacle, and lovely crowd atmosphere... Nice to see Sheffield Tigers speedway team doing so well recently at Owlerton Stadium. Captain Andre Compton is back after injury, and the team won the Premier League semi-final last Thursday with some excellent racing. 16 year old reserve Tai Woffinden (who usually stars in the Conference Leauge at Scunthorpe, made a brilliant start by winning his first heat, overtaking the opposition to do it - and went on the score well in his heats all night. Paul Cooper valiantly fought off a terrible cold to score a vital 2nd place in one heat, and all the regulars, Kyle Legault, Emiliano Sanchez, Ben Wilson and Ricky Ashworth performed solidly. Ricky, in articular was taking no prisoners.. how anyone can get so low to the ground on corners and not fall off escapes me! We now have to meet either Rye House or Kings Lynn in the Premier League final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayDan Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 yeah, it's been a good season, im pretty sure we will meet kings lynn in the final, which i'd be happy with anyway, as it will guarantee a good meeting at owlerton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
