Weymouth Weyline Wildcats last home win was three weeks ago and in-between time they have slumped to three defeats, tonight [Friday 10th] 7.15pm they take a break from League and Trophy fixtures with a challenge against Bristol Bulldogs lead by Jay Herne who’s father Phil raced at the Eastville stadium in the late 70’s.
Herne has only recently returned to practice at Sittingbourne following medical clearance after a crash on 28th March at Newport Speedway where he broke several vertebrae sidelined him for the season. Herne joins Aaron Baseby, Shane Hazelden, Nick Lawrence, Aussie newcomer Tom Armstrong, Isle of Wight number one Nick Simmons and King’s Lynn top man Simon Lambert in the Bulldogs line up.
Prospective Bristol promoter Andy Hewlett is involved in ongoing negotiations with Bristol City Council revolving around a 35-acre site at Avonmouth where he hopes to bring the sport back to life.
The last time the Bulldogs rode at the Wessex Stadium was Saturday 7th June 2008 when the Wildcats won 54-38. Tonight [Friday 10th] only one Wildcat remains from that team two years ago, Karl Mason who scored 13 points, although James Cockle rode at number one for the Bulldogs that evening scoring 5 points.
The Wildcats remain unchanged, with Byron Bekker sidelined for the rest of the season James Cockle has moved to the number one position with Adam Mckinna slotting in at number 5. Chairman Phil Bartlett said “Andy has put together a competitive side for this fixture, we wish him the best of luck in his quest to revive the sport in Bristol who would be a welcome addition to the league, fingers crossed for the right outcome.”
