Newcastle
1985 |
|
Another name change saw Newcastle Rebels now racing in the
English League (North) Division 1, while the Combination (reserve)
League was renamed, English League (North) Division 2. A much
larger league than 1984 including the strong Manchester teams
awaited. |
A note about scoring in
Division 2. The league was designed for riders not taking part in
the Division 1 match. However, for various reasons, it was
necessary for teams to sometimes use a rider for both meetings.
Where this happened, a team was penalised the number of points
scored by that rider(s) being added to their opponents total.
Scores are shown as raced, and, in brackets the revised scores
with penalty points. |

Manchester
were perhaps one
of the strongest teams ever to visit Newcastle. Their team was filled with
champions from 1-8. No wonder they won as they pleased, even
giving Watchman and Jones only 4 rides. 4 Manchester riders
remained unbeaten. Manchester were first and second in 12
of the 18 races. |

The
Division 2 meeting was hit by controversy. Mick Parr having won
his first two rides was excluded from heat 7, after being "fenced"
by Martin Kent. Mick refused to ride again, and was banned from
the meeting.
Showing
support, his team mates failed to come to the tapes, and
Heckmondwyke rode alone for 5x 7- 0s. Mick was given a 4 match ban
for his trouble.

Newcastle
Riders Championship
(22nd Sep 1985)
|
|
The annual Newcastle Riders Championship was held the day after
the Tameside defeat. As ever, there was little to choose
between the top riders but perhaps the favourite was Mick
Parr. The big prize eventually went to Andy Murray with
18 points. Big surprise was Dave Yeardley's 2nd place
after beating Stuart Craig in a run off. Dave had ridden
mainly as a reserve in Division 1, but was a high scorer in
Division 2. Stuart must have cursed his last place in
his second ride as he won his other 4 rides. Dave
Lamming, 4th was another surprise. Favourite Mick Parr
finished well down the field with 11.5 points. |
