It was a full house in the Premier Lounge at Smallbrook Stadium on Saturday night as the Wightlink Warriors and Wizards came together to celebrate another super speedway season.
On track, both teams improved their league positions whilst off track the club continued to receive universal praise for its innovation and presentation.
Reflecting on a mainly successful season and thanking everyone who has backed them, co-promoter Barry Bishop was open enough to reveal that the club had not returned a profit in 2019, nonetheless fans were delighted to hear that the promoters have every intention of running again in the National League in 2020 (subject to decisions at the promoters AGM). There is a desire to run 2 teams in the Midland & Southern Development League, providing additional sponsorship can be found to support the increased ferry costs.
In addition to a number of ancillary presentations given out on the night, the main awards were distributed as follows:
• Best Turned Out Warrior – Danno Verge
• Upside Down Warrior – Connor King
• Warriors Bonus Point King – Chad Wirtzfeld
• Fastest Warrior – Ben Morley
