June 2022

There are times in sport where you don’t always get the success that your efforts deserve but a marker can be laid down for the future and you can lose the battle but ultimately win the war. The Plymouth Westcolour Centurions went toe to toe in a gladiatorial contest with the current Championship League leaders, the Leicester Lions at Leicester on a hot dusty night and lost nothing in a narrow defeat but won all the plaudits and a lot of friends in the process.

With former Leicester skipper Scott Nicholls a member of their double winning 2019 Team coming in as Guest the Westcolour Gladiators went very close to picking up a losing bonus point in a pulsating 48-41 defeat that was full of full blooded action throughout.

Heat 1 required 2 re-runs with Alfie Bowtell falling in the first attempt and Connor Mountain for the Lions; flipping his bike in the re-run and earning an exclusion and having to retire from the Meeting as a result, the third attempt saw Nick Morris beating Scott Nicholls to the line and a 3-2 heat advantage to the home side. The Westcolour Gladiators then suffered an injury of their own with Harry McGurk suffering from what looks like arm and wrist injuries when falling on lap 2, with Lions reserve Dan Thompson winning the race and Lions last minute Guest reserve the in-form Jason Edwards relegating Gladiators Ben Morley to 3rd place. An 8-3 lead after 2 races and with McGurk having to also withdraw from the meeting was in hindsight going to be a handicap that the gallant Westcolour Gladiators could never quite overcome.

Michael Palm-Toft and Ben Barker took advantage of some machine issues for Richie Worrall in Heat 3 to record a 5-1 for the Gladiators and the next 2 heats saw a 4-2 for the Home side and a 4-2 for the Gladiators to maintain the narrow 1 point lead for the Lions at 15-14. Racing continued to be increasingly close and captivating with Palm-Toft and Alfie Bowtell, who delivered easily his best Away form of the season so far winning heats 7 and 8, either side of 4-2 advantages for the Lions, with Ben Morley who rode his heart out on the night twice being passed late in Heats 6 and 8 for vital 3rd places. A monumental battle for 4 laps in Heat 9 finally saw home rider Worrall just get the better of Hans Andersen and after 9 race the Lions had squeezed in to a 5 point lead 29 to 24.

The next 2 Heats were shared with the Westcolour Gladiators pairings packing in to 2nd and 3rd place finishes before Heats 12 and 13 went 4-2 to the Home side and then 4-2 to the Westcolour Gladiators with Scott NIcholls and Hans Andersen gaining their 4-2 advantage over the previously unbeaten Nick Morris and the impressive Kyle Howarth. Michael Palm-Toft roared around both Lions riders to win Heat 14 and with the scores 44-39 in the Lions favour, the Westcolour gladiators knew that a shared 3-3 final Heat at the least would guarantee a well deserved losing bonus point. Morris and Worrall though flew from the start and although Scott Nicholls managed to split them on the second lap he was not able to pass Morris nor was Michael Palm-Toft able to find a way past Richie Worrall.

The final scoreline didn’t really do justice to a monumental Team effort but credit has to go to the whole of the Team. Nicholls led from the front with 12 points from 5 rides, Palm-Toft scored an excellent 10 points from 5 rides, Andersen, Barker and Bowtell offered very solid support and praise too for Ben Morley, who due to McGurks injury had to take 7 rides on a hot and dusty night and his herculean efforts deserved a lot more than 1 point. The Westcolour Gladiators will be left rueing both the absence of the injured Dan Gilkes having been outscored 15 points to 1 at reserve but more pertinently may be the fact that had McGurk been available to take 2 more rides as he would needed to have done, the over-worked Morley may have been able to grab a couple of those vital 3rd places that his efforts deserved being less fatigued than was the case by riding 7 times on the night.

The Westcolour Gladiators and indeed all of the other Play Off contenders especially Leicester will also no doubt be reflecting on the fact that over 2 matches that the Westcolour Gladiators were resounding aggregate winners by 101 points to 78 and whilst there is no longer an extra Bonus Point available in the Sport for Aggregate scores, the rampant table topping Lions will surely be very wary of meeting the Westcolour Gladiators in any two legged Play Off clash at the end of the season. Battles lost but possibly wars won indeed!

The Westcolour Gladiators now move on to an Away Fixture at Birmingham on Wednesday evening and will be very keen to pick up more Away points with an Away win and a bonus point win and two excruciating scores just missing the losing bonus point by the slenderest of margins in probably their two toughest three Away Fixtures all season at Glasgow and now Leicester.  

We’ll have Team news and an injury update on Harry McGurk in our Match Preview of the Birmingham Fixture on Wednesday Morning and wish Harry a very speedy recovery.

——-

The Plymouth SWTR Centurions much weakened Team then put up a brave performance in the following NDL Match against the much stronger Lions Cubs Team.

With Alfie Bowtell stepping in to the No 1 slot in the SWTR Centurions side for the injured Dan Gilks and unattached 3 point juniors Ben Phillips and Jacob Fellows, replacing the recent departed Henry Atkins and unavailable Adam Extance respectively, the SWTR Centurions were in damage limitation mode from the start of the meeting.

A resultant 57-32 point defeat in increasingly difficult and dusty conditions was a creditable effort.

Alfie Bowtell recovered from a first Heat fall to score 11 points, Richard Andrews again showed that with increased bike and track time that he can once again be a strong NDL Heat Leader with an excellent and hard fought 8 point return including a few excellent passing moves. Ben Trigger scored a heat win in a 6 point return to his former track and the youngsters Eli Meadows, who was returning to the side after College exams, Phillips and Fellows never stopped trying and together with Connor King did their best under difficult circumstances.

After losing their top 2 riders Gilkes and Atkins, the season for the SWTR Centurions is now all about developing future talent whilst giving as much extra Track time as possible to Bowtell and Morley as possible Guest replacements, until Gilkes is back riding, and to Ben Trigger and whilst the hunt for suitable replacements continues, the SWTR Centurions will return to Track action on Tuesday night with a Home NDL clash against the Oxford Chargers.

At such tough times the lad, especially the youngsters really do need and very much appreciate your support, so please try to come down and support the lads on Tuesday night, remember “Children Under 16 go FREE” and Adults pay a reduced £15 for the NDL and it would be great to see a good Crowd supporting the lds on what looks likely to be a warm and sunny Devon evening.

Online Tickets are available here and you can also pay on the Night by CASH and CARD (please note Card payments will need to be made via your Android phone to the attached link)

The Plymouth Westcolour Gladiators travel to Leicester on Saturday evening, to take on the Lions in a key Championship League clash, accompanied by their National Development League colleagues the Plymouth SWTR Centurions, who take on the Leicester Lion Cubs, immediately following the main event. 

All Westcolour Gladiators and SWTR Centurions supporters who plan to travel to support the teams are reminded of the earlier than usual start time at Leicester, which will be 6.30pm, to facilitate 30 thrilling heats of speedway action.

Both the Plymouth teams will certainly need to be at their very best with the Lions sat on top of the Championship League following a resounding win at the title favourites, the Poole Pirates on Wednesday night which smashed the Pirates unbeaten Home record apart and sent shockwaves throughout the Sport. 

The Westcolour Gladiators though will not lack confidence given their own recent 60-30 point mauling of the Lions at The Coliseum in April.

The Westcolour Gladiators have enlisted the help of the former Leicester Lions double winning 2019 Championship season Captain and UK Speedway legend Scott Nicholls as a Guest for the still injured Edward Kennett and will also include former Lion Hans Andersen in their 1-7 which will be Scott Nicholls; Alfie Bowtell; Ben Barker, Michael Palm-Toft, Hans Andersen, Ben Morley and Harry McGurk. 

The Westcolour Gladiators who are unbeaten in 6 home matches have performed above expectations too on their travels so far, winning at the usually impregnable and tricky Scunthorpe circuit, gaining an excellent losing bonus point in a 42-48 defeat against a strong Redcar team and just missing out on a bonus point in an excellent performance losing by 41 points to 49 points at one of the title favourites, the Glasgow Tigers, winning many friends north of the border in the process.

The SWTR Centurions will enlist the assistance of Ben Morley as Guest replacement for the injured Dan Gilkes and again track youngster Ben Phillips as an unattached Guest replacement for the departed Henry Atkins,  in a line up that includes former Lion Cub Ben Trigger. Eli Meadows who missed the most recent SWTR Centurions Fixture at Oxford due to a clash with key college exams also returns to the declared 1-7 of Ben Morley, Ben Trigger, Richard Andrews, Ben Phillips; Adam Extance; Eli Meadows and Connor King.

The SWTR Centutions will also face very strong opposition with the Leicester Lion Cubs currently lying second in the NDL League table behind the leaders the Belle Vue Colts.

We’ll have a full review of both Matches on Sunday morning.

A reminder that Tickets are now available ONLINE for the next 2 Home Matches at The Coliseum, the SWTR Centurions taking on the Oxford Chargers next Tuesday 14th June; and the Westcolour Gladiators continue their assault on the Championship Play Offs the following week against the Newcastle Diamonds on Tuesday 21st June.

Tickets are also available by Cash and Card on the night for both matches and are available online here:

The Plymouth Westcolour Gladiators have made an early decision based on various Weather reports to cancel this evening’s planned fixture v Birmingham Brummies.

Following some significant rain in the past 48 hours and rain overnight and with various forecasts all indicating significant and heavy rain from around 5-6pm the decision has been made to avoid riders, officials and supporters any unnecessary travel.

Promoter and Club Director Mark Phillips said, 

We have been monitoring conditions after a damp weekend left the track quite heavy. Had it been a dry or drying day we would have been OK but after overnight rain and a particularly bad forecast from around teatime we thought an early cancellation was the best move.

It’s particularly disappointing after an excellent Crowd saw another entertaining Match last week but we’ll rearrange and announce the revised date for this Fixture as soon as possible.

The next Fixture at The Coliseum will see the SWTR Centurions race against the Oxford Chargers in NDL action next Tuesday, this is a Fixture rearranged from the original draft Fixture list and the Championship chasing Plymouth Westcolour Gladiators next Home match will be in 2 weeks time on Tuesday 21st June against the Newcastle Diamonds.  Tickets for BOTH Fixtures will go ON SALE tomorrow morning.

The Westcolour Gladiators and swtr Centurions are next in action Away; at Leicester on Saturday evening; in their respective Championship and NDL Fixtures and we’ll have a full Preview of both matches on Friday morning.

All those who have purchased advance Tickets for this Evenings cancelled Fixture will be contacted via e-mail by 6pm today.

The Plymouth Westcolour Gladiators continue their Championship League season on Tuesday evening with a Home Fixture against the Birmingham Brummies at The Coliseum.

The Westcolour Gladiators will be eager to maintain their unbeaten 2022 Home record and are chasing their 7th successive Home win to cement their place in the top 6 of the Table which will ensure an end of season Play Off spot. The Westcolour Gladiators currently lie in 4th place and could move into 3rd place with a win, having already beaten first and second place Leicester and Poole decisively at home.

The Westcolour Gladiators once again call up British Speedway legend Chris Harris to replace their injured Heat Leader Edward Kennett, who seems more hopeful of making a return to the saddle by the end of the season following serious arm injuries.

Edward has already seen a specialist who has suggested an operation will be necessary; but has a further appointment on the 30th June, when he is hopeful of getting a prompt Operation date. The experts have suggested that the recovery time after the operation should not be significant, so once the Operation is scheduled he hopes to return to the saddle within a few weeks.

Edward has confirmed that the plate in his arm that is causing all of the trouble was scheduled to be removed a few years ago after the 2019 speedway season but the impact of Covid 19  and the subsequent massive backlog in day to day operations has meant a hugely frustrating wait. The plate in his arm has moved over time and screws have loosened, this has caused nerve and ligament damage and the vibration on the injuries through the handlebars is causing further problems with muscle spasms. We all wish Edward the best of luck and hope to see him back in action later in the summer. 

The Clubs other long term injury victim Dan Gilkes who is also recovering from serious arm injuries, a number of broken ribs and initially a problem with a collapsed lung continus to make slow but steady progress now that he is at home, and was a welcome visitor to watch the Clubs NDL Team, the SWTR Centurions in action at Oxford last week, and hopefully Dan will be able to make the longer trip from his Northamptonshire home to The Coliseum to get what is sure to be a hero’s welcome from the Home crowd, in due course. 

The full Westcolour Gladiators line up on Tuesday night will be: Chris Harris; Alfie Bowtell; Ben Barker, Michael Palm-Toft, Hans Andersen, Harry McGurk and Ben Morley.

The Birmingham Brummies currently lie in 10th place in the table but that position belies the fact that they have ridden more matches away from their Perry Barr home at this stage of the season. 

They have a strong looking septet headed by Danish International Claus Vissing, recently signed Justin Sedgeman who was on the rader of a number of Clubs including Plymouth at one stage and they will bring in Guest Rider and a regular Coliseum Stadium visitor from his NDL days in Berwick rider Leon Flint. 

The middle order is augmented by Stefan Nielsen and Ashley Morris who are both capable of scoring heavily on their day, with James Shanes and Australian newcomer 16 year old James Pearson in the reserve berths. The Team is managed by ex Plymouth promoter Laurence Rogers.

The full Birmingham Brummies line up will be -: Claus Vissing; Stefan Neilsen, Leon Flint; Ashley Morris; Justin Sedgeman; James Shanes and James Pearson 

A reminder that Children Under 16 will GO FREE at all remaining Coliseum Fixtures in 2022, it was great to see over 50 Children in the Running race last week and hopefully we’ll see a similar turn out this week.

The Plymouth SWTR Centurions who are due to also visit the Kent Royals on Sunday begin a busy few days with a trip to the Oxford Chargers tonight.

The Chargers are part of the newly formed Promotion that has returned Speedway to the University City in 2022 with big Crowds and massive positivity about their venture into Championship and NDL Speedway.

The Track has been significantly altered since the Track was last used almost two decades ago, so will present a new challenge for all of the SWTR Centurions.

The SWTR Centurions are actively searching for a replacement for the departed Henry Atkins and will tonight bring in Plymouth Westcolour Gladiator Alfie Bowtell as a Guest for the injured Dan Gilkes. They also enlist unattached riders Ben Phillips and Sam Woods to replace Atkins and to cover for absent reserve Eli Meadows. This allows Connor KIng to move to reserve, with Ben Trigger moving into the top 5 of the team. 

Dan is now home from hospital and starting his long recovery process from severe arm injuries and broken ribs and problems caused by a collapsed lung. He is already working on his fitness and is keen to make a comeback when able to do so and only following strict medical guidance.

We’ll have a review of the Meeting tomorrow and a Preview of the SWTR Centurions trip to Kent on Saturday.

Tonight’s Teams:

OXFORD: Jordan Jenkins, Ben Hopwood R/R, Sam Hagon, Jacob Clouting, Nathan Stoneman, Arran Butcher, Jacob Fellows.

PLYMOUTH: Alfie Bowtell, Sam Woods, Richard Andrews, Ben Trigger, Adam Extance, Ben Phillips, Connor King.
