Busy Weekend For Coventry Storm

Last updated : 07 August 2015 By Coventry Storm

Coventry Storm Speedway team face a busy weekend of three matches in less than 24 hours - including a double header at Brandon on Sunday afternoon.

The torm travel to Stoke on Saturday (7pm) in their final scheduled away fixture of the regular National League campaign, but on completion of the match at Loomer Road they will still have eight home matches to run!

Two of those come on Sunday, starting at 2pm, when the return fixture against the Potters takes place as the second match of the day, with King’s Lynn the first opponents.

Manager Laurence Rogers said: “It’s an important weekend for us, it’s the weekend to start the ball rolling and make sure that the Gold Cup is a realistic aim.

“We’ve already achieved 12 points away from Brandon, which is a fantastic achievement, and we aim to get more at Stoke on Saturday.

“Then we need to keep the points coming in to ensure a top four finish, and I hope everyone will get behind the lads to help them.

“It will be good to welcome Mark as our newest Storm rider. I know what he can do, and I felt it was important to have seven riders again rather than rider-replacement, especially with the double-headers coming up.”

Sunday afternoon’s action at Brandon features 30 heats of racing with adult admission just £15.
