BEN’S DREAM A REALITY

PLYMOUTH youngster Ben Trigger admits it’s a dream come true having been called up to the senior Gladiators team.

The 16-year-old spent his second season in the NDL racing for the Centurions at the Coliseum, and has now been handed a reserve berth in the Championship for 2023.

He said: “I have grown up watching speedway, Dad (Lee) was involved and I’d go and watch meetings with Dad and when he was team manager.

“I grew up around it and always wanted to do it one day. Now I am actually getting the chance to do it and I’ll be living the dream.

“My fantasy has become a reality; I didn’t expect it to come so early, but now I have been given the chance, I intend to take it with both hands to do the best I can, improve and do as much as I can to help the team perform and try and win some silverware.”
