PREVIEW: BRITISH U21 SEMI-FINAL, MILDENHALL

MILDENHALL stage the first British Under-21 semi-final today (Sunday) in the first meeting for 21 months at West Row.

The Fen Tigers will be well represented by Sam Bebee, Sam Hagon, Jordan Jenkins and Elliot Kelly – and they would have had five riders in the meeting had reserve Arran Butcher not suffered fractures to his scapula in a grasstrack crash last weekend.

Promoter Greg Palmer said: “It’s hard to think it has been so long since we ran speedway at Mildenhall.

“The four of us are a mixture of excitement and nervousness just now, we have worked so hard behind the scenes with our wonderful staff to ensure everything is set up right and now we cannot wait for that first race and to get back to what we love seeing, great speedway at Mildenhall!

“We have had great support from Neil Vatcher in getting this meeting to Mildenhall (and the U19 Final later in the season) and we would like to thank him for all his help.”

LINE-UP: Jake Mulford, Alex Goldsbrough, Jordan Jenkins, William O’Keefe, Chad Wirtzfeld, Harry McGurk, Jordan Palin, Sam Bebee, Sam Hagon, Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, Elliot Kelly, James Laker, Sam McGurk, Nathan Ablitt, Alex Spooner, Josh Warren. Res: Kyran Lyden.
