Never likely to be on scale it once was ever again. BUT the recent initiative by the Falcons of indoor races at the Jack Kane for secondary schools has been successful and they hope to involve more schools this year. There is to be an even session on Thursday at Redbraes. Details to come. crowriver on "Speedway on Sunday" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6094#post-65460 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 22:14:03 +0000 crowriver 65460@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ "Cycle Speedway is still going on in Edinburgh, but on a vastly reduced scale. In the 1960s there were 3 divisions and dozens of tracks. Now there is just one at Redbraes Park and I don't think they have all that many matches in a year. It's certainly nothing like we had before. We would race at least twice a week from March to November, and would travel down south for national matches several time during the year. It kept us all out of trouble - and pretty fit too!"

With six out of the eight man home team reaching double figures this strength in depth proved too much for Heckmondwike. In the B team fixture against Astley & Tyldesley the home side had another victory by 86 points to 64. Again for the home side, scoring was spread throughout the team with perhaps Michael Lee being a standout with four victories from four outings. For Astley & Tyldesley Reece Pollitt and Adam Phillips both reached 17 points from five rides. In today’s Junior Challenge Match, which was run over six heats, Edinburgh were defeated by Heckmondwike by 32 points to 28.

First up at 2pm is an A team match against Heckmondwike. The Yorkshire visitors have shown a great improvement recently after several years struggling for rider numbers. With the Falcons missing two of their top point scorers the match is sure to be tightly contested and may go all the way to a last heat decider. 2nd match of the day is a B team fixture against Astley & Tyldelsey. The former mining towns in Lancashire have produced many great riders over the years and are only running with a B team in the Northern League as they continue to produce stars of the future. The Falcons B team are on a high after their away victory at Hull in the first match of the season and will be going all out to make home advantage count.
