The meeting on the Isle of Wight tonight was a challenge match between two teams named Martin’s Mad Dogs and Crouch’s Cougars.



Pete Redfern Memorial Trophy (on the Isle of Wight): Martin’s Mad Dogs 43, Crouch’s Cougars 47.


This meeting was staged in memory of Pete Redfern who was a promoter at Rye House and Oxford and a founder shareholder of the Islanders. He was also a great contributor to many younger riders when they started their careers. (c. Speedway Star)

The teams were a cosmopolitan collection of riders of different experiences and abilities and included the Isle of Wight riders except Jason Bunyan and Chris Holder whose brother, James Holder, rode instead.

The meeting turned out to be a long drawn out affair with numerous falls, one of which resulted in Sam Martin, Berwick’s reserve, withdrawing from the meeting and going to hospital with a suspected ankle fracture. James Holder’s performance was viewed with interest. After scoring only one point from his first two rides he finished off with two race wins.

Scorers: For Martin’s Mad Dogs – Krzysztof Stojanowski 13 (5), Jesper Kristensen 8 (5), Andrew Bargh 6 (4), Chris Johnson 5 (4), Patrick Hougaard 5 (4), Daniel Halsey 3+2 (4), Joni Keskinen (No 8) 2 (2), Sam Martin 1 (2).

For Crouch’s Cougars – Glen Phillips 14 (5), Cory Gathercole 9+1 (5), Casper Wortmann 9 (4), James Holder 7 (4), Robert Mear 5+2 (5), Tero Aarnio 3 (4), Terry Day 0 (3), Sam Hurst (No 8) DNR.

As a supporter of the the Islanders I can tell you that your site has now become the FIRST I visit for scores - it is fast, up to date and gives all the info I require within hours! My first point of call used to be the official BSPA website but I can tell you your site (for Premier League news) has passed all other speedway sites just like Chris Holder passing Derek Sneddon on the 3rd/4th bends at Smallbrook!
