U21 DETAILS THIS WEEK

PLANS for the 2022 British Under-21 series are set to be confirmed at a special event in Coventry this week.

U21 boss Neil Vatcher and riders Drew Kemp, Jason Edwards and Thompson twins Dan and Joe will be guest speakers as long-time British Youth series sponsors Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club stage their first official meeting since pre-pandemic on Thursday.

Vatcher said: “There will be announcements being made during the evening which will include the date and venue of the 2022 British Under-21 Final, the ten seeded riders for the same event, and the draw for the qualifier taking place at Mildenhall on Sunday April 10.

“In addition, we will be announcing the dates and venues for the 2022 British Youth Championship.”

NSSC meetings take place less than a mile away from the iconic Brandon Stadium, which was closed by developers at the end of the 2016 season but remains standing with no planning permission secured.

The event takes place on Thursday February 10 at Brandon Club, Main Street, Brandon, Coventry, CV8 3HW from 7.30pm. Admission for non-members is £4.
