RAIDERS MAKE THEIR POINT! Superb displays from both Ben Morley and Rob Branford helped the BMR Raiders collect their first away match point of the season in a 48-42 defeat at Eastbourne in the Travel Plus National League. Both were beaten just the once – in the nominated finale – and with Luke Priest adding a 10 point back-up performance, the Raiders had the anchor-point they needed to bounce back from the 53-37 mauling they had received in their last outing…. at home to the same opposition! An Eastbourne 4-2 from Heat 2 proved the difference maker over the first half-dozen races, before the Sussex side opened up a 28-20 gap within the next two races. The margin remained at 8 until Branford and Morley halved it with a 5-1 over Jake Knight and guest (and former Rocket) Dan Greenwood in Heat 13. The Eagles clinched the victory with a 4-2 from Georgie Wood and Charlie Powell in the penultimate race, with the George Hunter doing well to hold on for second place in what was his first match back from injury, before Knight took the final heat from Branford and Morley. The Rye House pair ensured that the Raiders would take something back to Hertfordshire for their efforts, however, by keeping clear of Greenwood for a 3-3. In total, no less than ten of the fifteen races produced drawn results, highlighting the closeness of the result. Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck was understandably very proud of his side afterwards. “All I can say is that to come down here and lose by just six points is a wonderful achievement. “Our big hitters did everything we expected them to do, and but for a few hiccoughs when we were caught out by falls, we might even have sneaked the win. We could tell we had Eastbourne worried - and I told the boys that, which fired them up even more. “Every one of them put everything into it, and you can’t ask for more than that. BMR Raiders: Ben Morley 13+1, Robert Branford 13+1, Luke Priest 10, George Hunter 3+1, Connor Locke 2, Macauley Leek 1, Kenny Bowdery 0 Eastbourne: Jake Knight 12+1, Charley Powell 10+3, Georgie Wood 9+2, Kelsey Dugard 7+2, Dan Greenwood (guest) 7, Luke Harris 3+1, Ellis Perks R/R Match Points: Eastbourne 3 Rye House 1 Schroeck will turn his attention to the BMR Rockets tomorrow evening, as his senior side looks to finally get its away Premier League programme off the ground following a relentless string of postponements. The Rockets travel to Scunthorpe to face a Scorpions team that is currently bottom of the table, and which has already been beaten no less than five times around its own circuit this season. The Rockets will need little reminding that the Eddie Wright Raceway was the scene of their last away League victory, last May, and remain unchanged from the line-up that defeated Newcastle at Hoddesdon a week ago, while Lewis Kerr will make his home debut for the Scorpions following the departure of Andreas Lyager. Kerr has already featured away from home in the Lincolnshire side’s last outing, a 58-34 defeat in wet conditions at Workington. Schroeck is quietly confident that the Rockets can open their away calendar with the right result. “The boys are ready for tomorrow; they’re hyped up and can’t wait to get out there. If we can get our gating boots on, there is no reason why we can’t get the win. “We’ve been to Ipswich, Plymouth and Somerset already (in the KO and League Cup) and shown what we can do away, and we are determined to get a result that will put us on the map again.” BMR Rockets: Cameron Heeps, Peter Karger R/R, Edward Kennett (captain), Leigh Lanham, Kasper Lykke, Ben Morley, Stuart Robson Scunthorpe: Josh Auty, Josh Bailey, Alex Davies, Ryan Douglas, Lewis Kerr, Michael Palm Toft, Carl Wilkinson

WHAT A RUSH! Following last week’s relentless series of washouts, there’ll be a whirlwind of track activity for Rye House this coming weekend to help redress the balance. The first port of call, tomorrow night, is the Oak Tree Arena, as the BMR Rockets aim to go one better than their last visit to Somerset, when they went down by a tantalising 49-40 in the League Cup after pulling back from 40-20 behind without the use of the Tactical Ride facility! Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck is looking forward to the return trip. “We were so frustrated when the weather intervened on Sunday at Scunthorpe because we were really pumped up to get a result, and we will be taking the same attitude down to Somerset. All the boys are up for it, and we’ll be going for it 100 percent.” The Rockets will be back to full strength for the fixture, with Peter Karger returning to action after some five weeks spent nursing a broken bone in his hand. The Dane famously defeated 2011 PLRC winner Sam Masters in his last meeting to collect his first race win as a Rocket. Updates Schroeck, “Peter has phoned to say he successfully came through a practice session on Tuesday. He felt a bit stiff, but there was no pain.” BMR Rockets: Cameron Heeps, Peter Karger, Edward Kennett (captain), Leigh Lanham, Kasper Lykke, Ben Morley, Stuart Robson Somerset: Jake Allen, Josh Grajczonek (captain), Paul Starke, Rohan Tungate, Zach Wajtknecht, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Charles Wright There will be limited time for rest and respite following tomorrow’s Rebels fixture, as the Rockets make an abrupt about-turn and head back the 174 mile trail to Hoddesdon in time for Saturday night’s home clash with Plymouth. It’s a head-to-head that will bring them up against the likes of new signing and Australian National Champion Brady Kurtz, double Aussie Longtrack titlist and elder brother Todd Kurtz and World U-21 Finalist Jack Holder. The Devils will operate Rider-Replacement for Kyle Newman, who suffered a broken collarbone in an alarming crash at Peterborough on Tuesday. Continues Schroeck, “It should be another exciting match, because Plymouth’s own track is not dissimilar to ours and they’ve also now got Brady Kurtz in their team – but they’re still coming into OUR backyard. “Win or lose, we’ll be aiming to get a good result at Somerset to set ourselves up in the best possible way for Saturday’s match.” BMR Rockets: Cameron Heeps, Peter Karger, Edward Kennett (captain), Leigh Lanham, Kasper Lykke, Ben Morley, Stuart Robson Plymouth: Jack Holder, Brady Kurtz, Todd Kurtz (captain), Kyle Newman R/R, Stefan Nielsen, Ellis Perks, Sam Simota Finally, the attention will shift from the Rockets to the BMR Raiders, who will be heading up to Buxton on Sunday intent on capturing their first away victory in the Travel Plus National League. The Raiders will be more than buoyed by last Saturday’s fighting 42-48 result at Eastbourne which garnered the side its first away match point, and will also be keenly aware that the Hitmen have won just once in eleven outings this season. Says Schroeck, “It will be a first for me because I haven’t been to Hi Edge before, but most of the boys, with the exception of Connor Locke, have ridden there. “We will have to make do without Kenny Bowdery, who has a work commitment, but if we can pop out of the starts there is no reason why we can’t get the Raiders on the map alongside the Rockets on the back of what we’ve already achieved at Eastbourne.” Although the Raiders will be in Derbyshire, there WILL be plenty of track action at Rye House on Sunday afternoon, courtesy of the fourth round of the Mitas British Youth Championship. Please see the separate news piece for full details. YOUNG LIONS ON THE PROWL Britain has got young talent, and there will be plenty of it on show at Rye House on Sunday afternoon, with the staging of the fourth round of the Mitas British Youth Championship at 2pm. The national U-16 event, which started life back in 2004 as a single class (500cc) series for U-15s has also evolved into a four tier event, with a 250cc class, plus 150cc and 125cc support classes, now sitting alongside the original 500cc as a natural progression path.
All four classes will run on Sunday, and with the series now entering its business end, there will be plenty on the line at Rye House as no less than 44 Young Lions compete in 44 qualifying races across the four classes. With a Final then following for each, it makes for a hefty agenda of 48 races. However, the programme is set to run at a terrific pace, with the action coming thick and fast in what is typically a three hour show. The series reaches its half-way point on Sunday. Already this season at the three previous rounds there have been some spectacular contests between all the different classes, and Young Lions Manager Neil Vatcher sees no reason why Round 4 will be any different. “This will be the first time for the majority of these Youth riders attending the new shaped Rye House circuit, and one that we are all looking forward to.” There are many standout performers in this season’s 500cc class, but with series leader Tom Brennan and winner of two of the first three rounds Kyle Bickley both competing it would be hard to look beyond these two, if you are a betting man. Local Boy Jason Edwards will be trying to extend his lead in the 250cc class, although Leon Flint who will be travelling down from Berwick, and together with new boy Drew Kemp is sure to have a say in this class. In the 150cc class Nathan Abblit, who is yet to lose a race after the first three rounds, will be hoping to continue that success on a circuit that he won the 150cc class in 2015. A large attendance of 18 riders will be competing in the 125cc support class, which will see the return of Harry McGurk who broke his arm in round 1 at Glasgow in April. Rye House Co-Promoter Steve Jenson is looking forward to welcoming Vatcher and the Young Lions back to Hoddesdon. “The lads put on a terrific show last year. The action was fast and furious, and everyone gave their best, and I know that this year’s round will be no different. “We are also delighted to be able to play a part in supporting these youngsters by staging an event. It slots in nicely alongside what we will be aiming to achieve with our new Training Track project and our regular Training Schools. “Adult admission will be just £5, and kids will go free, which for 48 races is fantastic value, so if you can please do come along on Sunday to back the newest breed of Young Lion. They really appreciate it.” NEW DATE FOR SHEFFIELD AWAY The BMR Rockets will be hoping it will be FOURTH time lucky for their Premier League trip to Sheffield. The Rockets have already seen their meeting in the Steel City washed away three times by the rain, with a new date now scheduled for Thursday, September 1st. A new date of Friday, September 9th, has been announced for the Rockets’ visit to Scunthorpe, which was abandoned after just two races on Sunday.

BETTER CALL SAUL! The BMR Raiders have moved to sign Grasstrack ace Matt Saul to their Travel Plus National League side. Subject to BSPA ratification, the 21 year old from Tonbridge in Kent will make his Raiders debut in a re-declared Raiders’ one-to-seven this coming Sunday at home to Cradley (6pm start). He will replace Harvie Banks in the Rye House roster. Although very new to the shale trail, Saul is a former British Youth 250cc Grasstrack Champion (2010) and has also been a Bronze winner in that discipline’s British U-21 event (2014). He has already appeared in nine competitive matches for the Isle of Wight this season, with a high score of paid 7 against Kent, but opted away from the Thursday night Smallbrook outfit earlier this month citing work and travel commitments for his decision. Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck extends a warm welcome to his new addition. “We’re delighted to bring Matt on board. He’s was recommended to us by Eddie (Kennett). “It is very difficult at this level to find the right calibre of new rider. We already know that our top three will give us what we need, but we also need guys who can chip in with three, four or five points, and we believe that Matt will plug that gap nicely.” Schroeck is also sorry to see Harvie Banks depart his squad, but adds, “Harvie was finding it hard financially to meet the investment requirements of what is an expensive sport. “He will continue to be very much involved with Team BMR, though, because he will be concentrating on the Touring Car side of the operation through BKR. “Hopefully he will give our sport another go at some point, and we will see him back at Rye House.”

RAIDERS REV UP FOR HEATHENS The BMR Raiders will be determined to build on their last outing at Eastbourne when they tackle Cradley at Rye House in the Travel Plus National League tomorrow evening (Sunday at 6pm). The Raiders delivered a battling performance at Arlington to return home with their first away match point of the season in a 42-48 display, and will now be looking to shift things to the next level when they entertain the Heathens. The Black Country outfit - League winners in 2013 and 2014 - is currently fourth in the table and chasing a play-off spot thanks to an impeccable home record that is yet to be matched by success on their travels. Like the Raiders, they possess a strong heat leader trio in Ashley Morris, parallel Edinburgh Monarch Max Clegg and 2015 Hoddesdon man Luke Chessell. Lower down the riding order, Bradley Andrews – the grandson of 1969 World Pairs Champion Bob Andrews – will step into a reserve slot following the concussion sustained by Ben Basford at Sheffield on Thursday night, with Rider-Replacement in operation for James Purchase, who is side-lined with a shoulder injury. Says Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck, “It should be an intriguing meeting on two levels: the head-to-heads between the big guns and the battles of the less experienced riders. “Matt Saul will be determined to slot in straight away on his debut, and hopefully he will help give our heat leaders a bit more back-up alongside George Hunter. “George is guesting tonight (Saturday) for Eastbourne, which will give him more match and race sharpness after coming back from injury. “Unfortunately we’ll be missing Macauley Leek, who suffered some pretty bad bruising in a fall at Arlington a fortnight ago, and has phone me to say he’s not quite ready to ride, but should be OK in the next week or so.” “But that aside, we’re fired up, and we’re ready to go.” BMR Raiders: Kenny Bowdery, Rob Branford, George Hunter, Connor Locke, Ben Morley, Luke Priest (captain), Matt Saul Cradley: Bradley Andrews, Richard Andrews, Luke Chessell, Max Clegg, Layne Cupitt, Ashley Morris, James Purchase R/R In addition to the main event, there are three 150cc demonstration races scheduled, from 5.30, featuring Nathan Ablitt, Sam Hagon and Joe and Dan Thompson, who all excelled in last Sunday’s Mitas British Youth Championship round at Rye House.

RAIDERS REPELLED BY HEATHENS A full maximum from Rob Branford was unable to save the BMR Raiders, who fell to a 52-38 defeat against Cradley in Travel Plus National League action at Rye House on Sunday evening. Branford reeled off four straight race wins before being forced out of consideration for Heat 15 through illness, but fellow big gun Ben Morley proved the Raiders’ only other race winner in Heat 10, as the Heathens took control via their own top three of Max Clegg, Ashley Morris and 2015 Raider Luke Chessell – who was well placed to outpace Branford in Heat 7 until being forced to retire after losing his saddle. Reserve Bradley Andrews was also impressive after being called up from the No.8 spot, posting paid 13 from seven outings. Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck admitted afterwards that “We were left playing catch-up from the start after falling 9-3 behind after just two races. “We had a couple of hiccoughs with guys falling off and other bits and bobs happening, and it didn’t help that Rob (Branford) felt unwell in his last race. “I think a ten point defeat would have been fairer on us, but either way well done to Cradley for getting the result. “We saw improvements in certain riders from our end, which is the important thing. “Matt (Saul) was very nervous before his debut, and he had a few mechanical problems, but he also made a couple of good starts and got stuck in, so he showed he can do a job for us. “And George (Hunter) had a really good night, with paid 8, which shows he is getting back on track after his injury. “So overall there are positives we can take away from tonight. BMR Raiders: Robert Branford 12 (maximum), Ben Morley 8, George Hunter 6+2, Luke Priest 6+1, Matt Saul 2+1, Connor Locke 2, Kenny Bowdery 2 Cradley: Max Clegg 13, Ashley Morris 11+2, Bradley Andrews 10+3, Luke Chessell 8, Richard Andrews 8, Layne Cupitt 2+1, James Purchase R/R Match Points: Rye House 0 Cradley 4 Please note that the originally scheduled Raiders-Birmingham fixture at Rye House on Sunday, July 17th has now been postponed due to Premier League commitments away. With the Cardiff Grand Prix and Premier League Fours weekends also on the horizon, the next scheduled action at Rye House will therefore be the Premier League clash between the BMR Rockets and Somerset on Sunday, July 31st. Although unconfirmed at this stage, it is possible that this will be a double header meeting also involving Travel Plus National League action. Please keep an eye out on the Rye House website and media news releases for a potential future update.

DOUBLE HEADER ON THE 31st Following yesterday’s announcement that the BMR Raiders’ Travel Plus National League match against Birmingham, originally set for July 17th, has been postponed, the two clubs have moved quickly to re-schedule the fixture. The teams will now clash at Rye House in what will become the second part of a double header meeting on Sunday, July 31st. The Somerset Rebels were already due in town that day to face in the BMR Rockets in Premier League action, and the Raiders-Brummies fixture will follow on directly from that. With some thirty heats to shoe-horn into the meeting, the first Premier League race will now be at 4pm, rather than Rye House’s normal 6pm Sunday evening start. Team BMR would like to thank both the Birmingham and Somerset promotions for accommodating these changes, and for agreeing them so rapidly.

RAIDERS NEARLY OVERTHROW KINGS The BMR Raiders came close to gaining revenge for an opening night home reverse against Kent as they went down 45-39 at Sittingbourne’s Central Park in the Travel Plus National League in a match that was called at Heat 14 due to curfew. The Raiders had been thumped 56-34 at Rye House back in early April, but held their own here, thanks to another superb innings from their big three. Both Rob Branford and Ben Morley rode undefeated, with captain Luke Priest dropping just a single point himself after a narrow defeat by Danny Ayres, to offset a more difficult night for the Raiders’ younger end. George Hunter unfortunately exited the meeting after a nasty tumble in Heat 10, with Team Manager Peter Schroeck advising after the match that “George is battered and bruised. He is going to A&E to check out his hand. It’s the one he broke before, and although he’s got movement in it, it’s better to be safe than sorry. “He’s feeling a bit second hand at the moment, and he feels he let the team down – but of course he didn’t. “Rob (Branford) and Ben (Morley) were absolutely fantastic tonight. You could clearly see they really didn’t want to be beaten, which set up some great battles. And Luke (Priest) was close behind as back-up. “I’m a little disappointed that we couldn’t get to Heat 15, because I’m confident we would have taken a 5-1 with Rob and Ben and then lost by just two points on the night. But to come here and take away a match point against a team that is right up there challenging for the title is a superb achievement. “If we can take a few more points here and there away, and start to pick up form at home, we really can start to move up the table.” BMR Raiders: Rob Branford 12 (maximum), Ben Morley 11+1 (maximum), Luke Priest 11, Macauley Leek 5, Matt Saul 0, Georgie Hunter 0, Connor Locke 0 Kent: Jack Thomas 9+3, Danno Verge 9+2, Danny Ayres 9, David Mason 8+1, James Shanes 6+2, Georgie Wood 4+2, Luke Clifton R/R Match Points: Kent 3 Rye House 1

RAIDERS NAMED TO FOURS! The BMR Raiders have received a late call-up for this coming Sunday’s National League Fours Championship (2.30pm start) which is being staged at Coventry, following the withdrawal of Kent due to injury problems. The Raiders will take the Kings’ place in Semi-Final Group “A” alongside quartets from Mildenhall, King’s Lynn and Cradley, while Group “B” will comprise Belle Vue, Eastbourne, defending champions Birmingham and hosts Coventry. The Rye House team has been named as Rob Branford, Ben Morley, Luke Priest and Sam Woods, with Team Manager Peter Schroeck optimistic about his side’s chances in the competition. “We were disappointed not to be originally named to Sunday’s event after reaching the Final last season, but the boys are excited about getting a shot, and with three top hitters in the team they are really up for it. “We may have been a late call-up, but we are not going there to make up the numbers, I can assure you. “It should be a really, really good meeting, and we’re looking forward to it.” In separate fixture news, the Raiders’ Travel Plus Tours National League away match at Mildenhall has now been re-scheduled for Sunday, August 28th, following the re-allocation of the original date of the 21st to an alternative fixture at West Row. Additionally, the Raiders have agreed to bring forward their match at League new boys the Isle of Wight from September 6th to Thursday, August 18th. .

PREVIEW: BELLE VUE VS RAIDERS The BMR Raiders head to Manchester to sample the new National Speedway Stadium tomorrow night as they face the Belle Vue Colts in the Travel Plus National League. Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck is looking forward to the Raiders’ first ever visit to the venue. “I’m confident that our top three can do the business up there. It has done the world of good to Ben (Morley) for him to visit places like Berwick and Workington this season, and that should set him up nicely for this one. Between him, Rob (Branford) and Luke Priest, we should have the foundation for the first 35 points, and if the rest of the side can chip in there is no reason why we can’t cause the Colts a problem or two.” On a separate matter, Schroeck continues, “George Hunter will be back in practice again very soon, after his latest injury, and we are hoping he will be back in the Team again in around a fortnight’s time. BMR Raiders: Rob Branford, Matt Saul, Luke Priest (captain), Sam Woods, Ben Morley, Connor Locke, Macauley Leek Belle Vue Colts: Ben Wilson (guest), Tom Woolley, Matt Williamson (captain), Rob Shuttleworth, Lee Payne, David Holt, Andy Mellish

RAIDERS LEARN FROM BELLE VUE EXPERIENCE The BMR Raiders may have been unable to dent their opponents’ unbeaten home league record, falling 56-34 to play-off chasing Belle Vue in the Travel Plus National League on Friday night, but they certainly contributed to some great racing at the National Speedway Stadium. They also picked up plenty educationally from their visit to the Manchester facility. Firstly: the numbers. Newly appointed Rocket Rob Branford led the way for Rye with 13 points from 5 starts – and also bagged the National League track record at the circuit in Heat 5. Ben Morley added 9+1 and Luke Priest 7, as the Raiders’ three big guns contributed 29 of their side’s 34 total – and also their lone heat advantage, when Branford and Morley combined for a 5-1 over Lee Paine and Ben Wilson in a riveting Heat 13. But the hard statistics were only part of the story, as Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck explained afterwards. “There was some really awesome racing tonight, not least in Heat 13. Obviously, Rob (Branford) really was on top of his game, but there were plenty of other positives to take away from tonight. “Ben (Morley) proved what he has learned from trips to places like Workington and Berwick by using that knowledge to good effect here. Connor Locke had a good meeting, and was really racing – he more than deserved his paid 4. “And Sam (Woods) got dialled in to come up with a third place point in his last ride. “Belle Vue is such a big track compared to ours, but when you consider what we are trying to do with the Raiders this year, I am pleased with what the boys have taken away from tonight.” BMR Raiders: Rob Branford 13, Ben Morley 9+1, Luke Priest 7, Connor Locke 3+1, Matt Saul 1, Sam Woods 1, Macauley Leek 0 Belle Vue: Matt Williamson 14, Lee Payne 11, Tom Woolley 8+2, Joe Lawlor 6+2, Ben Wilson (guest) 6+1, Andy Mellish 6, Rob Shuttleworth 5+1 Match Points: Belle Vue 3 Rye House 0

WE ARE THE FOURS CHAMPIONS! A week ago, they weren’t even listed in the event, but on Sunday the BMR Raiders provided the Awesome Foursome as they lifted the National League Fours Championship at Coventry in sensational fashion. Rye House Team Manager Peter Schroeck had said beforehand that, “We may have been a late call-up, but we are not going there to make up the numbers, I can assure you.” So it proved on Sunday. The Raiders topped their semi-final group by a full four point margin over Cradley, with both Ben Morley and Rob Branford unbeaten, while Morley completed his day’s work with another maximum in the Final as Rye took the gold on 14 points, ahead of Belle Vue (12) and Eastbourne (11). The one blemish in the Final came when the Colts’ Rob Shuttleworth was ejected from further involvement in the event after a Heat 1 incident. A delighted Schroeck praised his side afterwards: “This is absolutely fantasttic for all the boys and the club as a whole. Firstly, Ben (Morley), Rob (Branford) and Luke (Priest) really deserve this because they are the guys who have held the Raiders together this year. They could have gone anywhere in the country if they wanted to go glory hunting, but they stuck with us – and this is their reward. “And Sam (Woods) fully played his part in this success too. He did exactly what we asked him to do, with no last places. You can’t ask for more than that. “We had a little bit of luck in the Final when one of the Belle Vue riders was disqualified from the meeting, but we simply got on with the business, kept plugging away and did the job. “We plan to parade the Fours trophy on Saturday at our home match against Coventry (2pm start), and we hope as many Rye House fans as possible can be there to join in the celebration.” Result and scorers from the National League Fours at Coventry:
GROUP A RYE HOUSE 18: Robert Branford 6, Ben Morley 6, Luke Priest 4, Sam Woods 2. CRADLEY 14: Max Clegg 5, Luke Chessell 3, Richard Andrews 3, Ashley Morris 3. MILDENHALL 13: Dan Halsey 5, Jon Armstrong 4, Connor Coles 3, Jordan Jenkins 1. BUXTON 3: Lee Geary 2, Mitchell Beckett 1, Lee Dicken 0, David Wallinger 0.
