Bank holiday bonanza at Eddie Wright Raceway

HENDERSON INSURANCE Scunthorpe Scorpions host Newcastle Diamonds next Monday (3pm) in Premier League action – in a Bank Holiday feast of action at the Eddie Wright Raceway.

With the 23-heat Midland Development League Riders’ Championship individual event being held in the second half, there are 38 heats on offer in total. The adult admission price for this bonanza of action is just £17.

Scorpions are looking to build on an excellent 54-30 home victory over Workington, as they look to close in further on the teams directly above them at the bottom of the Premier League table.

Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “It’s bound to be a cracking afternoon of speedway action.

“We had an excellent win over Workington, and we plan to build on that. We’re out to finish our season on a flourish, and part of that involves going unbeaten at home for our remaining meetings.

“Newcastle will come here looking for points to consolidate their challenge for a place in the play-offs, and I predict another humdinger of a meeting.”
