The Wightlink Warriors Speedway team will be looking to pick up some silverware before the 2024 campaign finishes tomorrow (Thursday) when they take on the Cradley Heathens in the second leg of the cup final at the Smallbrook Stadium (7pm).

With a 16 point lead from the first leg staged back in July, the home side will fancy their chances of completing the job.

Leading the charge for the visitors is Tom Spencer. He will be backed up at number two, by James Laker from Kent. At three, is the flying Australian Matt Marson. At number four, William Cairns, at just 15 years of age, is piling up the points wherever he rides and came so close to winning the British  Final at the Island a couple of weeks ago. Number five is Luke Harris. Completing the line up is Nathan Hargrave.

As for the Warriors, they will track their normal one to five, with one change at number six, led by skipper Arran Butcher at the front, with Sonny Springer hoping to continue where he left off at two. Chad Wirtzfeld is at three and German Henning Loof at four, Jacob Clouting will ride at five and youngster Harley Freeman at number six.

Harley has come through the My First Skid Academy at the Island and will step in for Morgan Williams who is coming back from an injury.

Steve Piper the Warriors Team Manager said: “Harley is biting at the bit to have a go, we are going to have to try to control him, but we know he will give it 100 per cent.  Cradley have a really strong side, but, The Warriors are up for it, we have a lead to hang on to, but we don’t want to hang on to it, we want to win on the night as well.”

There is also a youth development match between the Wizards and young Heathens, plus youth racing which starts at 6.15pm.
