Barry Bishop and Martin Widman

Ryde's Wightlink Warriors will be founder members of the newly formed Nora 92 Speedway League.

The league – named after its sponsors - will feature the Warriors, Plymouth, Sittingbourne and Cradley.

Warriors’ co-owner Barry Bishop said:

“We are delighted to participate in the new Speedway League which focuses on entertainment and value while looking to develop riders’ futures.

"It would seem track time in the UK is becoming a precious commodity and we are only too pleased to allow our riders the maximum track experience we can.

"Martin and I are so excited about this, and we know the league will draw on our experience from the last two seasons to offer a new style of Speedway — we can't wait to get going!"

The Nora 92 Speedway League will be complemented by a knock-out cup.

A full programme of action at Smallbrook Stadium this summer will include the Island Masters, Uprights, Ladies, and Pairs events.
