James Cockle, skipper of the Wightlink Warriors speedway team, and fellow team mate Chris Widman represented the Island club at Monday’s National League Riders Championship meeting at Leicester.
It was a meeting to forget for Cockle as he failed to score from 5 rides.
Chris Widman, originally listed as meeting reserve, stepped into the main event at very short notice and scored 2 points from 4 rides, his afternoon being curtailed when he was unable to avoid Cockle who had fallen in front of him. The resultant machine damage prevented Widman from taking his last ride.
The event was won by Dan Bewley (Belle Vue) with Matt Williamson (Buxton) in second and Liam Carr (Birmingham) third.
